Masonry contractors in Drexel Hill, PA

Dense streetcar-suburb housing in Upper Darby Township, largely brick twins and stone-faced Tudors and colonials put up between the 1920s and the 1940s. Almost all of it is solid masonry or masonry veneer with steel lintels over the openings.

Repointing on 1920s brick twins, rusted steel lintels over front windows, and stone-faced elevations where the pointing has been cemented over.

• Brick repointing→

  Repointing is raking the failed mortar out of the joints between bricks and replacing it with fresh mortar.

• Lintel replacement→

  A lintel is the beam over a window or door that carries the brick above it, and replacing one means supporting that brick while the beam comes out.

• Stone pointing→

  Stone pointing is raking out and replacing the mortar joints in a stone wall.

• Chimney masonry→

  Chimney masonry covers repointing, rebuilding, crowns, caps and the flashing where the chimney meets the roof.

A project goes to at most three contractors, chosen on the services they registered, the ZIP codes they work and the size of job they take. Verified Pros go first. Each one can accept or decline, and only the ones who accept see your name, phone number and street address.

Verified Pro means we checked the contractor’s Pennsylvania home improvement contractor registration against the Attorney General’s public registry at hicsearch.attorneygeneral.gov and hold their certificate of insurance on file. A contractor who has not passed both receives no projects.

Mortarook is new. We do not publish a count of contractors, because a number that is not worth publishing yet is not worth inventing. If fewer than three verified masons cover Drexel Hill for your service, the site says so with a date rather than leaving you refreshing a page.

Nothing, at any point. Mortarook takes no homeowner payment, no deposit and no escrow. Your contract and your payments are between you and the mason you choose, exactly as they are today.
