Brick Walls, Pillars & Columns in Reading Center, Reading, MA
Looking for brick walls, pillars & columns in Reading Center in Reading, MA? Ultimate Boston Masonry is a licensed, insured, family-owned masonry contractor serving Reading and the rest of Middlesex County from our Boston base. Reading walkways and granite entries are frequent requests, often with lighting integrated into the wall.
Housing in Reading Center in Reading includes older brick multi-families and colonials built before 1940, and spring snowmelt that saturates masonry and soil is what wears this masonry down. That is why our brick walls, pillars & columns work starts with understanding what your building is made of — brick type, stone, mortar hardness, and drainage — before we price anything. A brick pier at the end of a driveway or a garden wall along the sidewalk is often the first masonry people see. We build and rebuild freestanding walls, pillars, and columns on proper frost-depth footings with caps that shed water.

Why is my brick pillar leaning?
Usually the footing is too shallow and frost has heaved it, or a vehicle has hit it. Leaning pillars normally need rebuilding on a proper footing.

Most Massachusetts communities require footings to extend below frost depth, typically 48 inches. We confirm local requirements before building.
