Masonry Contractor in West Bloomfield, MI
West Bloomfield homes tend to be larger and more heavily built than average, and many of the brick chimneys, porches, and exterior walls here date to the building boom of the 1970s through the 1990s. That means a lot of local masonry is now at or past the natural service life of its original mortar. Brickheads Masonry is a full-service masonry contractor in West Bloomfield, MI, repairing and rebuilding brick, chimneys, and steps with our own licensed crew. We never subcontract, so the quality you see on the estimate is the quality that shows up on the job.
Residential Masonry and Brick Repair
When mortar joints open up and brick begins to spall, water infiltration is almost always the cause, and in Michigan's freeze-thaw climate it only accelerates. We repoint deteriorated joints, replace broken brick, and rebuild sections of wall, chimney, and foundation, matching new mortar to the color and compressive strength of your existing brick so the repair integrates instead of patching over the problem. For aging exterior walls and veneer, our
tuckpointing and brick repair restores both the structure and the watertight seal.
Masonry Steps in West Bloomfield, MI
Entry steps and porches are the hardest-working masonry on most homes, exposed to foot traffic, runoff, and road salt year-round. We repair and rebuild masonry steps in West Bloomfield, MI that have cracked, settled, or pulled away from the house, keeping them level, solid, and in proportion with the home's entrance. Where a full rebuild is warranted, our custom brick steps are built to last rather than to hit a low bid.
Chimney Tuckpointing in West Bloomfield, MI
Chimney tuckpointing in West Bloomfield, MI is one of the most valuable repairs a homeowner here can invest in, precisely because so many local chimneys are the right age for it. We grind the failed mortar out of the joints to the proper depth and repack them with fresh mortar matched to the brick, which stops water from entering the chimney core and freezing inside it. Getting the mortar hardness right is critical: mortar that is harder than the surrounding brick causes the brick itself to crack, so we select a formulation suited to your specific masonry. When damage has already reached the brick, crown, or structure, we also handle crown repair, cap installation, and partial or full rebuilds as part of our
chimney repair and rebuild services.

FAQs
Do you handle both residential and commercial masonry in West Bloomfield?
Yes. We repair and rebuild brick, chimneys, and steps on single-family homes, and we also serve condominiums, apartment and multi-family communities, and commercial buildings throughout West Bloomfield and Oakland County.
How do I know whether my chimney needs tuckpointing or a full rebuild?
Tuckpointing is the answer when the brick is still structurally sound and only the mortar joints have failed. A rebuild is warranted when brick is spalling across multiple courses, the stack has shifted, or water has damaged the core. We assess the full chimney, not just the surface, before recommending a scope.
What does a West Bloomfield property manager get working with Brickheads?
A licensed, insured crew that self-performs every job, one point of contact from estimate through completion, and a clear written scope and timeline before work begins, so there are no surprises for your board or your residents.
