Masonry contractors in South Philadelphia, PA

Miles of two-story rowhomes, largely 1890s to 1930s, in brick with steel lintels and, on a great many blocks, formstone or stucco applied over the original brick in the middle of the last century.

Front-elevation repointing, rusted lintels over front windows and doors, marble and brick step repair, and stucco or formstone coatings that have started letting water in behind them.

• 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.

• Stucco and exterior masonry→

  Stucco work is repairing, patching or recoating the rendered surface on an exterior masonry wall.

• Other masonry restoration→

  Steps, stoops, patios, walkways, garden walls, piers, columns and sills, in brick or stone.

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 We do not publish a count of contractors, because a number that is not worth publishing yet is not worth inventing.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 South Philadelphia 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.
