I look at your job myself
I've run this business since 2013, and I still come out to look at the job in person. I check the brick, the joints and what's around them, then send a written estimate. Our masons do the work, and I'm on site to check it.

Groves houses, as we see them on the job
Groves is a small city, a little over five square miles, with Port Arthur wrapped around three sides of it and Port Neches on the fourth. A lot of what we look at here are brick houses on slabs that have taken years of Gulf Coast weather, sitting on clay ground that never quite holds still.
So the calls sound familiar. Someone spots a crack running up from a window, mortar that rubs out with a thumbnail, or a water stain near the chimney after a hard rain, and they want to know if it's serious. Usually it's fixable, and I'll tell you straight whether it's a small job or a bigger one.

(409) 240-0376Masonry work we do in Groves
Most Groves calls are about brick, mortar or a chimney, so brick repair, tuckpointing for worn joints and chimney repair after a windy season top the list. When the cracks trace back to the ground under the house, we look at foundation repair before we touch the brick, because there's no point patching a wall that's still moving. For a new look on the front of the house or around a fireplace, we do stone veneer installation, and we build walkways, outdoor kitchens and garden walls here too.

Permits, contractors and planning a job in Groves
The City of Groves issues building permits, and applications start on the city's Public Portal through the City of Groves website. If your job needs a permit, I'll tell you at the estimate and we help get it in place before we start, so the city's turnaround becomes part of the schedule and we plan around it. The city takes contractor registrations on that same portal, so it's fair to ask anyone you're thinking of hiring whether they've registered with Groves. We're fully licensed and insured, and we check with the office that covers your address, since every city runs its own.
Price mostly moves with how much brick needs work and whether the real cause is in the ground, and the schedule turns on rain, any permit and how long it takes to find brick that matches yours. Your written estimate after my visit gives you your own number. It's the same work we do in Orange and the other cities around Beaumont, so our crew shows up knowing what this weather does to a brick house.
Why Groves homeowners call us
We fix the cause, not the crack
If the ground or water is behind the damage, fresh mortar just cracks again, so we find what's pushing on the brick first. And if a small repair will do the job, I'll tell you that instead of selling you a big one.
A small mess on a house you live in
We cover plants, walks and windows near the work and clean up before we leave, because you're living there while we work. We're fully licensed and insured. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Call (409) 240-0376 to set up a visit.
Questions Groves homeowners ask us
How much does brick or masonry repair cost in Groves, TX?
Your price comes from the written estimate I send after seeing the house, because no two repairs here are the same size. A few loose bricks by the back steps is a small job, while a cracked wall over a settling corner, a chimney that needs roof access or brick that's hard to match all add work. If the cause turns out to be under the house, that's a separate step I'll explain before we start.
What causes cracks in brick walls on houses in Groves?
Most cracks we see come from the ground moving under the house. Clay soil swells when it's wet and shrinks in dry spells, and that shows up as stair-step cracks in the mortar or cracks running from the corners of windows. Rusted steel over windows and doors and water soaking into old joints are the other usual causes, so I figure out which one it is before we fix anything.
How do I get a brick repair to match the rest of my house?
Match the brick's size and color and the mortar's color and texture, and the repair mostly disappears. We bring sample bricks and mix mortar to the shade of your existing joints, and on older houses we sometimes track down salvaged brick when the original isn't made anymore. I'll tell you at the estimate how close we can get.
Is my house in Groves in a Texas windstorm insurance zone?
Yes, the Texas Department of Insurance lists Groves in the Inland I zone of its windstorm program. Construction has to be certified to be eligible for windstorm coverage through TWIA, and TDI's web tools can show whether a structure needs windborne debris protection against flying objects in a storm. If you're adding a new wall or outdoor kitchen, check with your insurance agent about certification before we start.
Where do I report storm damage from Tropical Storm Edouard in Groves?
Report it through the iSTAT Damage Survey, the Storm Damage Reporting Tool the city posted on its website on September 4, 2026, along with its Edouard recovery FAQs. Those reports help state and local officials understand the damage the storm caused. If Edouard cracked your brick or loosened a chimney top, call (409) 240-0376 and I'll come take a look.
