Why Laredo homeowners call Anchorstone
I'd rather tell you a wall needs a little work than sell you a big job it doesn't need. I'll explain what we're doing and why before we start, and we do the work so it holds up and fits your house.

Same person, estimate to finish
The person who looks at your job and gives you the estimate is the same person on site with our crew while the work gets done.
See what's failing first
I show you which joints and bricks are failing and which are still sound, so you pay for the repair your wall actually needs.
Mortar matched to your wall
We match new mortar to your old wall so the mortar takes the wear over the years, not your brick or stone.
From your call to the finished job
Estimates are free, done on site and carry no obligation, because I'd rather look at your wall in person than guess at it over the phone.

Questions about masonry in Laredo
How much does masonry repair cost in Laredo, TX?
It depends on how much of the wall is actually failing, the brick, block or stone we have to match and how easy the work is to reach. New walls and pavers turn on size, material and the ground they sit on. I give you your own figure after looking at the job in person.
Is repointing brick cheaper than tearing down and rebuilding the wall?
Usually, yes, because repointing replaces only the worn mortar and leaves sound brick where it is. We cut out bricks only where they're cracked or flaking, and a rebuild makes sense when the wall itself has moved or come loose. That's the call I'll walk you through at the house.
How long does a masonry job take in Laredo?
It depends on the size of the job, how much old mortar or brick has to come out and whether the city has to issue a permit before we start. Some damage only shows once the old mortar is out, so I'll tell you up front what could stretch the schedule.
Is Anchorstone licensed and insured to do masonry in Laredo?
Yes, we're licensed and insured. The city also requires anyone who does work in Laredo to be registered with it first. Texas requires anyone doing electrical work to be licensed, so wiring for lights or outlets in an outdoor kitchen goes to a licensed electrician.
What happens if you find more damage once the old mortar is out?
I show you what we found and talk it through with you before the crew goes further. You can't always tell how deep a crack runs or how loose a brick is until the joint is open, which is why I mention it at the estimate.
Do you guarantee your masonry work in Laredo?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. We'd rather do a job once and do it right, which is why we take the time up front to understand your wall before we touch it.
Should I get pavers or a poured concrete driveway in Laredo?
For most homes I'd lean toward pavers, because a cracked or sunken section can be lifted and relaid instead of cut out and repoured. Poured concrete usually costs less up front, so it can make sense on a tight budget. Either way, the base underneath does most of the work.
Do I need a permit for a block fence in Laredo?
Plan on one, because block fences are on the list of residential projects the city's Building Development Services issues permits for. When a job needs a city permit, we pull it ourselves as your contractor and keep it posted at the job so the inspector can find the house. If you pull a permit yourself, the city treats you as the contractor for that project.
