The transformation happens quickly with minimal disruption to your daily routine. Let us show you how stone veneer can completely change your home exterior.
Winterizing Your Outdoor Kitchen and Masonry Features
Your outdoor kitchen needs protection when winter arrives in New Hampshire. Water can freeze inside cracks and cause serious damage to stone and brick surfaces. We help you prepare your masonry features for cold weather with proper sealing and drainage solutions. Start by cleaning all surfaces and removing debris from joints and crevices. Apply a quality water-repellent sealer to protect against freeze-thaw cycles. Cover your grill, countertops, and other equipment with weatherproof materials. Check that all drainage systems work properly to prevent water pooling. Any existing cracks should get repaired before temperatures drop below freezing. Turn off water lines and drain all plumbing connections completely. Remove cushions, decorative items, and anything that could trap moisture. Consider our professional winterization service for complete peace of mind. Taking these steps now saves you from expensive spring repairs later.

Our Process
We make masonry work simple and stress-free for you. From the first phone call to final cleanup, we handle every detail with professionalism. Here is what you can expect when you work with our team.
Free On-Site Consultation

You get honest advice about what really needs to be done, not a sales pitch. We explain your options clearly so you can make informed decisions. This consultation typically takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on project size. There is no pressure and no obligation to hire us after the visit.
Proper Drainage Solutions for Long-Lasting Hardscapes
Poor drainage destroys even the best-built patios, walkways, and driveways over time. Water pools, foundations shift, and freeze-thaw cycles crack your expensive hardscape features. We design proper drainage into every project from the start to prevent these problems. The base preparation includes grading that directs water away from your home and hardscape surfaces. We install drainage channels, French drains, or catch basins where needed based on your site conditions. Permeable pavers offer another excellent solution that lets water drain naturally through the surface. Your soil type and property slope determine which drainage strategy works best. Proper drainage also protects your home foundation from water intrusion and erosion. We follow Manchester building codes and industry standards for all drainage installations. The extra investment in good drainage saves you thousands in future repairs. Let our team design a drainage solution that keeps your hardscapes looking great for decades.
Signs Your Retaining Wall is Failing (And How We Fix It)
Retaining walls fail gradually, giving you warning signs before complete collapse occurs. Watch for leaning, tilting, or bowing that indicates structural movement behind the wall. Cracks wider than a quarter inch mean serious problems developing in the foundation or drainage system. Soil erosion around the base or top of the wall shows that water is not draining properly. Bulging sections indicate excessive pressure building up from poor backfill or drainage issues. Separating blocks or stones signal that the wall has lost its structural integrity. We inspect failing retaining walls to determine if repair or complete rebuilding makes more sense. Sometimes we can stabilize and repair walls caught early before major damage occurs. Complete rebuilds include proper excavation, drainage installation, and engineered base preparation. We use quality materials rated for your specific soil conditions and wall height. All our retaining wall projects meet local building codes and engineering requirements.
The Dangers of Water Intrusion: Why Prompt Tuckpointing Matters
Water intrusion through damaged mortar joints causes thousands of dollars in hidden damage to brick walls. The process starts slowly as tiny cracks allow moisture to seep behind the brick facade. Once inside, water damages insulation, promotes mold growth, and rots wooden structural elements. Freeze-thaw cycles accelerate the destruction as water expands when it freezes inside your walls. You might notice interior water stains, peeling paint, or musty odors before seeing exterior problems. Prompt tuckpointing stops water intrusion before it reaches these expensive stages. We remove deteriorated mortar and replace it with fresh material matched to your existing color. The new mortar creates a weather-tight seal that protects your masonry for another 25 to 30 years. Regular inspection helps catch mortar problems early when repairs cost less. Most brick homes in Manchester need tuckpointing service every 25 to 40 years depending on exposure and original quality.
Why We Use Premium Brands like Cultured Stone and Eldorado Stone
Quality materials make all the difference in how long your masonry project lasts and looks great. We exclusively use premium manufactured stone brands like Cultured Stone and Eldorado Stone for veneer projects. These industry-leading products offer superior color consistency, realistic textures, and proven durability in harsh climates. Cheaper alternatives fade quickly, crack easily, and often look obviously fake up close. Premium stone products come with strong warranties and decades of proven performance across the country. The stones are lighter than natural stone but engineered to withstand freeze-thaw cycles and weather extremes. You get a huge selection of styles, from classic ledgestone to modern river rock profiles. The color goes all the way through the stone, so chips and edges still look natural. Installation goes faster with premium products because of their uniform sizing and interlocking designs. We have relationships with these manufacturers that ensure reliable supply and competitive pricing. Your investment in quality materials pays back through lower maintenance costs and lasting beauty.
