Most brick problems start small—but when repaired incorrectly, they can lead to long-term damage. Our work focuses on correcting the underlying problem so the repair lasts, not simply covering it up. Whether your project involves a single cracked brick, deteriorated mortar joints, loose brick steps, or a larger structural repair, every project receives the same attention to detail, craftsmanship, and commitment to long-term durability.

Over 40 Years of Trusted Brick Repair & Repointing Experience

For more than four decades, we've completed over 15,000 new construction and masonry repair projects, helping homeowners throughout Wilmington and coastal North Carolina protect, restore, and preserve their brick and stone masonry.

• Second-generation masonry craftsmanship backed by decades of hands-on experience
• Over 60 custom homes built along with thousands of residential masonry repairs.

⚠️ Common Signs Your Brick May Need Repair
Homeowners throughout Wilmington and coastal areas often notice small masonry problems before they become major structural issues. If you see any of the following signs, your brick or mortar may already be starting to fail:

• Cracked, loose, or spalling bricks
• Mortar joints are crumbling or falling out
• Gaps forming between bricks or steps
• Leaning or settling brick walls or entryways
• Water staining or moisture damage on masonry surfaces
• Brick steps are becoming loose or unsafe

Brick damage is often caused by moisture intrusion, aging mortar joints, and structural movement. Proper repair focuses on correcting the underlying problem — not just covering visible damage.

Our repairs are designed to restore structural integrity, improve appearance, and provide lasting protection against future masonry deterioration.

So grateful to have found Cary Masonry, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results!

Carmen is very conscientious and does excellent work, paying attention to details. He communicates clearly and sets expectations appropriately. He was a pleasure to work with, and we are recommending him to friends. We are very happy with the outcome of our project, new mortar in all the joints of our bluestone patio trimmed with brick.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrew - We ended up using Carm with Cary Masonry for two projects at our new house since he was so great in the first round.
First, he revitalized two brick stairway entrances to our house. He provided an informative and clear quote and performed the work in a timely and professional manner. We were extremely pleased with the results.
Later, he repaired a gate and brick entrance to our backyard by quickly identifying the right solution and completing the work in under a week.
Highly recommend Cary Masonry for any brick or stonework you may have.
