Masonry contractor work in Longview, TX
Superior Longview Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Longview, TX, and our 16 services run from brick, chimney and foundation repair to new walls, walkways and outdoor kitchens. On a repair, the price mostly turns on how far the damage goes, what's causing it and how hard your brick and mortar are to match. On new work, it turns on size, materials and how easy the spot is to reach. The schedule depends on the size of the job, getting matching brick in and any permit or inspection the city requires. Your free estimate lays it out in plain words with photos of what we found.
Cracks running up your brick or doors that stick can point to foundation movement. We find what's moving the house and fix that first, then the brick.
Is your chimney losing mortar, leaning or dropping bits of brick on the roof? We rebuild the cap on top, reset loose brick and refill worn mortar joints.
Tuckpointing means grinding out crumbling mortar and packing fresh mortar in its place. It's for brick houses where the joints have gone sandy, hollow or open.
We replace cracked, chipped and flaking brick with brick that matches your house in size and color, so the repair blends into the wall.
We build paver driveways on a packed gravel base with edging that holds the pavers in place, for homeowners who want more than a plain concrete slab.
Need to hold back soil on a slope? We build retaining walls with drainage behind them, so water gets out instead of pushing on the wall.
For older brick and stone that's stained, cracked and worn, we clean, repair and refill the joints with matching mortar, so the wall looks cared for, not rebuilt.
We build brick and stone fireplaces, from the firebox to the mantel surround, for homeowners adding a fireplace to a living room or a back porch.
Want a stone look without a full stone wall? We set thin stone veneer over existing walls, columns and chimneys to give them a new face.
We build concrete block walls for privacy, property lines and outbuildings, with a poured footing underneath and steel inside sized to the wall.
Building an addition on a crawl space? We lay the block walls that carry the house, set level and square so the framing goes up true.
We build the brick, block and stone shell of an outdoor kitchen, with the counters, grill surround and bases, for homeowners who cook and gather out back.
Your walkway can be brick, pavers, stone or concrete, and we lay it on a packed base so it sits even from the driveway to the front door.
When you want a garden wall, entry columns or a screen that goes with your house, we build it in brick and mortar picked to match.
Our stone masonry is natural stone cut and fitted by hand into walls, steps and columns, for homeowners who want full stone rather than a thin facing.
Gaps where mortar has fallen out let water into the wall. Brick pointing fills those joints with fresh mortar matched to yours, before gaps turn into loose brick.
Why homeowners hire us for brick and stone
A masonry repair is only as good as the thinking behind it. These are four things we do on our jobs, and why each one matters for your house.
I quote it and build it
I come out to look at every job, and I'm on site with our crew when the work gets done, so what we talked about in your yard is what gets built.
The cause gets fixed first
A crack or a leaning wall usually has a reason behind it, like trapped water or the base under it settling. We find that reason before we quote, so you aren't paying to cover up a problem.
Repairs that match your wall
We match new mortar to the color of what's on your house and hunt down brick close to yours, so the repair blends in and suits the wall.
Estimates you can see
Your estimate comes in plain words with photos of what I found, so you can see the problem for yourself and decide on your own time. Call (903) 309-1954 or send a message from our contact page to set one up.

Call or send a message
Call (903) 309-1954 or send us a message with a few words about what you're seeing, like a crack, loose brick or a wall you'd like built. We get back to you within one business day to set a time for me to come out and look.
I look and write it up
I come out myself, look over the job, take measurements and photos, and track down what's causing the damage. Then you get a free written estimate with what I found, and there's no obligation, so you can take your time deciding.
We do the work
Once you say go, we take care of any permit the job needs, handling the paperwork with the city's office and setting up the inspections, and we'll tell you if anything needs your signature. Then our crew and I do the work, matching your brick and mortar as we go.
We walk it with you
Before we pack up, I walk the finished job with you and show you what we did and why, so you know what you're paying for. We clear out the mortar, broken brick and dust before we leave, because it's your yard, not our job site.

Longview, where we're based
Longview is where we're based, and it's a city with plenty of places to get outside close to home. The Paul G. Boorman Trail runs about 3 miles from Summers Drive south to Highway 80, with a dog park and exercise equipment along the way, and the Cargill Long Trail follows an old rail bed through wooded neighborhoods and parks. At Lear Park, families use the ball fields, the walking trail, the fishing pier and the KidsView playground, and the Longview Arboretum and Nature Center has a gated half-mile loop.
Around Longview we work on a lot of brick, from houses where the mortar joints have worn thin to chimneys and garden walls showing their age. The city posts the rules followed inside city limits in its code of ordinances, and we bring the same careful brick and mortar work to the cities around Longview.

Questions about masonry work in Longview
How much does masonry repair cost in Longview, TX?
It depends mostly on how much of the wall is damaged and what's causing it, so a few cracked bricks cost far less than a wall that has to come down to a sound base. The biggest jump comes when the cause has to be fixed too, like a foundation that's moved. I'll put the figure in writing on a free estimate after I've seen it.
Is repointing brick cheaper than replacing it?
Usually, yes, because repointing only replaces the mortar in the joints while the brick stays put. If the bricks themselves are cracked, crumbling or loose, some have to come out and be relaid, and that's more work. I'll tell you which one your wall needs and show you photos of why.
How long does a masonry repair take in Longview?
It depends on the size of the job, so a few joints or bricks go quickly while a chimney rebuild or a new wall takes longer. Finding matching brick and waiting on any permit and city inspection can also set the schedule. I'll walk you through what affects yours when I come out.
Do contractors have to register with the City of Longview?
Yes, contractors listed in the city's code or regulated by the State of Texas register with the city's Development Services department before they apply for permits or start work. Registration is renewed every year, and residential contractor registration calls for a surety bond of at least $25,000. We're fully licensed and insured.
How do I get a building permit in Longview, TX?
Permits in Longview go through the city's Development Services department, which runs building inspection. If you're pulling a homestead exempt permit yourself, you contact the department in person or by phone, and permits have to be paid for before they go in for review. When we do your job and it needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city and set up the inspections.
Do you guarantee your masonry work?
Yes, our promise is satisfaction guaranteed on every job. That's part of why I walk the finished work with you before we leave, so you can see what we did and ask about anything.
Can you match the mortar on an older brick house?
Yes, we match new mortar to the color, texture and hardness of what's already in your wall, and we look for brick close to yours in size and shade. Hardness matters on older brick, because mortar that's harder than the brick can make the brick crack and flake instead of the joint.
How do I find out if my Longview property is in a floodplain?
Check the city's interactive FEMA flood map, which shows Longview's floodplain and floodway areas and marks properties with earlier flood mitigation determinations. That matters for walls and foundation work, because the city's Floodplain Administrator reviews and inspects construction in and next to floodplains. Some roads, underpasses and low spots around the city also flood during flash floods.
