Brick & CMU Block Laying Services

Need a new wall or structural masonry work? Our skilled masons provide bricklaying and concrete masonry unit (CMU) block construction services for all types of projects. We handle everything from building new garden walls and property fences to constructing structural block walls for additions or repairing sections of damaged brick façade. Brick and CMU construction requires precision and knowledge of structural principles – and that’s exactly what our team delivers.

Expert Masonry Construction: Laying bricks or blocks is both an art and a science. Our crew has extensive experience with masonry techniques, ensuring that each brick or block is laid correctly, plumb, and level. We select the proper mortar type for your project and mix it to the ideal consistency for strength and adhesion. During installation, we pay close attention to mortar joints (typically 3/8” thick for standard brick) to make sure they are completely filled and struck neatly for weather resistance. We also reinforce masonry as needed – for example, inserting rebar and grout in CMU block cores for load-bearing walls or using metal ties to secure a brick veneer to its backup structure.

Quality and Compliance: Safety and durability are our top concerns when constructing with masonry. All our brick and block laying work complies with NYC Building Code and Fire Code requirements. This includes proper foundation footing depth, correct wall thickness, and any needed control joints or expansion joints to handle building movement. We source high-quality bricks and blocks suited for NYC’s climate (moisture-resistant, frost-resistant units) and use NYC Department of Buildings-approved mixes and methods for installation. Our approach ensures your new masonry will stand strong for decades without issues like cracking or shifting.

  • Applications: We offer brick and CMU block services for a wide range of applications:
  • Brownstone Extensions & Garden Walls: Extending a brownstone? We can seamlessly match new brickwork to old. Need a new retaining wall or a classic brick garden wall? We’ll build it sturdy and attractive.
  • Parapet Wall Rebuilding: Parapets often require rebuilding due to water damage. We reconstruct parapet walls with solid bricks/blocks, including new coping stones and flashing to prevent future leaks.
  • Structural Block Construction: For new construction or additions, we lay CMU block walls that form the backbone of your structure. Rebar, lintels, and proper grouting are used per engineering specs.
  • Facade Repairs: If a section of your brick façade is bulging or deteriorated, we carefully dismantle and rebuild it, tying in new masonry with the existing wall for a seamless repair. Matching brick color and style is part of our expertise. By choosing Innovation Construction NY for brick and block work, you’re assured of masonry built with an engineer’s precision and a craftsman’s touch. We don’t cut corners – every brick is laid to perfection, and every wall we build is true and level. The result is not only a solid wall but also one that looks great and adds value to your property.
