Our Services

We provide comprehensive masonry services throughout Fort Collins, specializing in both residential and commercial projects that meet the unique needs of our community.

Fort Collins Masonry Challenges and Solutions

Fort Collins sits right at the base of the Rockies, which creates specific masonry challenges that differ from Greeley or other eastern plains communities. Properties west of College Avenue often deal with significant slope issues that put extra stress on retaining walls and foundation structures. The foothills neighborhoods above Horsetooth Reservoir face particularly challenging drainage problems during spring snowmelt and summer thunderstorms. We work with these conditions constantly and know how to design masonry structures that channel water safely away from your home.

Historic homes in Old Town Fort Collins feature some of the most beautiful brick architecture in northern Colorado. Many of these properties date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, with soft brick and lime mortar that requires specialized restoration techniques. Using modern cement mortar on these historic buildings actually causes more damage than it prevents. We take the time to match original materials and methods, preserving the character of these irreplaceable structures while ensuring they stand strong for another century.

The elevation difference across Fort Collins means weather patterns vary significantly from one neighborhood to another. Properties near CSU campus experience different freeze-thaw cycles than homes up near Lory State Park. Southwest Fort Collins developments built in the past 20 years typically have modern masonry that holds up well, but they still need periodic inspection for settling issues. Understanding these microclimate differences and how they affect masonry is part of what makes local expertise so valuable.

Specialized Services for Fort Collins Properties

Outdoor living spaces are incredibly popular in Fort Collins, and many homeowners want to maximize their usable yard space despite sloped lots. We design and build multi-level stone patios that work with your property's natural contours rather than fighting against them. Custom patio installations in neighborhoods like Harmony Crossing or Fossil Creek require careful planning for proper drainage and long-term stability. The investment in correct design and installation saves you from costly repairs down the road.

Commercial properties along the Mason Street corridor and downtown frequently need masonry updates to meet current building codes while maintaining their historic character. We have experience working within Fort Collins historic preservation guidelines, which are some of the most detailed in the state. Whether you own a retail building on Mountain Avenue or an office complex near Front Range Village, we can restore or update your masonry while respecting architectural requirements and business schedules.

Chimney problems are particularly common in Fort Collins due to our heavy snow loads and dramatic temperature fluctuations. Properties in the Poudre Canyon corridor face even more extreme conditions that can damage chimney crowns and flashing systems. We see a lot of water intrusion issues in chimneys that were not built with proper weather protection for our climate. Our chimney repair work focuses on preventing future problems, not just fixing current damage. This means proper flashing installation, quality crown sealing, and ensuring the chimney structure is sound from top to bottom.

Working Throughout the Fort Collins Area

We regularly work in every Fort Collins neighborhood, from established areas like Fossil Ridge and Country Club to newer developments near Harmony and Timberline. Each area has its own characteristics that affect masonry work. Older neighborhoods often need more restoration and repair work, while newer subdivisions typically require preventive maintenance and occasional settling repairs. No matter where your property is located, we bring the same level of expertise and care to every project.

Fort Collins building codes are strict, particularly in historic districts and areas near natural landmarks. We stay current with all local requirements and work closely with city inspectors to ensure full compliance. Whether you need a permit for a new retaining wall or are updating commercial property to meet current standards, we handle the paperwork and coordination. Our reputation with local building officials means inspections typically go smoothly, keeping your project on schedule.

The distance between Fort Collins and Greeley is short, but the masonry needs can be quite different due to elevation, soil conditions, and weather patterns. While we are based in Greeley, we have extensive experience working in Fort Collins and understand these local differences. We factor in higher elevation UV exposure, heavier snow loads, and the unique soil conditions found in foothill neighborhoods. This attention to local specifics is what separates quality masonry work from jobs that develop problems after a few seasons.
