Masonry Contractor serving Johnstown, CO

Many Johnstown customers contact us about adding outdoor living spaces to their properties. The larger lot sizes typical throughout Johnstown provide excellent opportunities for custom stone patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits that extend your usable living space. We design and build these features to handle Colorado weather while complementing your home's architecture. Proper installation includes drainage systems that channel water away from your foundation and base preparation that prevents settling over time. These custom outdoor features increase both your enjoyment of your property and its resale value.

Retaining walls are essential for many Johnstown properties with sloped yards or multi-level landscaping. The rolling terrain throughout town means many lots require walls to create usable flat spaces for patios, play areas, or gardens. We build retaining walls using various materials from natural stone to manufactured block, always engineering them to handle the soil pressure and drainage requirements specific to your property. A properly built retaining wall includes adequate footings, drainage behind the wall, and construction that accounts for frost heave during our winter months.

Stone veneer siding has become increasingly popular in Johnstown as homeowners update their exteriors to match the more upscale look of newer construction. We install both natural stone and manufactured stone veneer that transforms plain stucco or siding into distinctive facades with permanent appeal. The key is proper installation with correct moisture barriers and attachment systems that prevent water intrusion while allowing the wall system to breathe. When done right, stone veneer installation lasts for decades without maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.

Many Johnstown neighborhoods have active HOAs with specific requirements for exterior modifications and masonry work. Communities like Windmill Village, Saddle Ridge, and newer developments east of Interstate 25 require architectural approval before you can change your home's exterior or add hardscaping features. We work with Johnstown HOAs regularly and understand their approval processes, material restrictions, and design guidelines. Our experience helps your project move through approval smoothly without delays or rejections that cost time and money.

The Town of Johnstown has building codes that govern structural masonry work, particularly for retaining walls over certain heights and any work affecting your home's foundation or load-bearing walls. We handle all permit applications and ensure our work meets or exceeds local requirements. Our crews are familiar with Johnstown building inspectors and their expectations, which means inspections happen on schedule and projects stay on track. Proper permitting also protects you legally and ensures you will not have compliance issues when you sell your property.

Choosing licensed and insured contractors is especially important in fast-growing communities like Johnstown where unlicensed handymen often offer masonry services at bargain prices. When something goes wrong with unpermitted work or a contractor without proper insurance, you are left holding the liability. We carry full insurance that protects both our workers and your property. Our license demonstrates we have met state requirements for competency and business practices. These protections give you peace of mind that your investment is secure and your project will be completed to professional standards.
