Your masonry questions, answered.
Answers to common questions about masonry services, estimates, service areas, brick matching, stone repair, concrete work, and project cleanup.
What masonry work does Puttrich & Sons do?
Mostly exterior brick, stone, and block. Our main work is brick and stone veneer on building exteriors, new block buildings and pump stations across Central Texas, stonework and stone walls, retaining and site walls, brick and stone mailboxes, and columns. We also handle tuckpointing, chimney repair, brick and block repair, small concrete pads, and occasional interior fireplace facing.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Call either line or send a few photos and we will set up a time to come look. Estimates are free and there is no pressure.
What areas do you cover?
Waco and the surrounding towns — Woodway, Hewitt, China Spring, McGregor, Robinson, and more — plus the Dallas corridor down through Hillsboro and Waxahachie. We keep a Waco line and a Dallas line.
Can you match my existing brick or stone?
We get it as close as we can. Matching depends on the size, color, and texture of what is there and the mortar around it. On older homes it is not always perfect, but we get it close enough that most people never spot the repair.
Do you build new, or only repair?
We build new as much as we repair. A large share of our work is new construction — block buildings, pump stations, full stone and brick exteriors, and walls — for homes, commercial sites, and municipal jobs. We are comfortable working around a project schedule and other trades.
How do I know if my masonry needs work now or can wait?
Send a photo or have us take a look. Some cracks and worn joints are cosmetic; others are letting water in or telling you something is moving. We will tell you straight which one you have.
What should I have ready for an estimate?
Photos, a rough idea of the size, where it is, and what you would like done. The more we know up front, the faster and more accurate the estimate.
Do you clean up when the job is done?
Always. We haul off the debris and leave the site clean. A lot of our reviews mention it, and it is just how we work.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, we carry what is needed to do masonry work in Texas. Ask us anytime and we are happy to confirm before the job starts.
