Our Services

From foundation repairs to outdoor living spaces, we provide complete masonry solutions for LaSalle homes and businesses with attention to quality and lasting results.

Masonry Challenges Unique to LaSalle Properties

LaSalle sits right along the South Platte River, which means many properties deal with higher groundwater levels than communities just a few miles away. Homes near the river and those along the irrigation ditches that run through town need proper foundation waterproofing and drainage systems. We regularly install French drains and apply waterproof coatings to basement walls for LaSalle homeowners dealing with seasonal moisture issues that come with living near water.

The soil composition here is different from Greeley or Fort Collins. LaSalle sits on river bottom land with heavier clay content that holds water longer after storms. This creates problems for retaining walls and paver installations if you do not prepare the base correctly. Properties near the old sugar beet factory site and along Highway 85 particularly need extra attention to drainage and base compaction. We account for these local conditions when designing and installing any masonry work that touches the ground.

Many of LaSalle's older homes date back to when the town served the sugar beet industry, and these historic properties near Main Street have unique masonry characteristics. The original brick homes often used softer local brick and lime mortar that requires specialized repair techniques. We use traditional methods and compatible materials when restoring these historic structures so repairs blend seamlessly and do not damage the original masonry. Modern cement-based mortar would actually harm these older bricks by trapping moisture inside.

Common Masonry Projects in LaSalle

With LaSalle growing rapidly, we work on plenty of new construction projects in the subdivisions expanding east and north of town. These newer homes often need stone veneer installation to add character and curb appeal. We also build custom outdoor living spaces with stone patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire pits for homeowners who want to take advantage of their larger lots. The newer areas have better drainage than the older parts of town, which makes outdoor masonry projects more straightforward.

Chimney repairs are extremely common here because many LaSalle homes still rely on wood-burning fireplaces for supplemental heat during our cold winters. The freeze-thaw cycles crack chimney crowns and deteriorate flashing around the roof line. Properties throughout town call us when they notice water stains on interior walls near their chimneys or when mortar starts falling from between bricks. We rebuild chimney caps, install new flashing, and repoint deteriorating joints before small leaks become major problems that damage interior walls and ceilings.

Foundation settling is an issue we address regularly in LaSalle. The combination of clay soils and fluctuating water tables causes homes to shift more than in areas with better drainage and different soil composition. We repair foundation cracks, install helical piers when needed, and apply waterproofing systems that protect against our specific moisture challenges. Many customers also need retaining wall repairs where soil pressure and water movement have pushed walls out of alignment. Catching these issues early prevents much more expensive structural repairs later.

Why Local Knowledge Matters for LaSalle Masonry

Working in LaSalle requires understanding how proximity to the river affects construction. Properties on the west side of town near the Platte need different foundation and drainage approaches than homes on the higher ground to the east. We factor in elevation changes, soil types, and water table levels when designing masonry projects. A retaining wall installation that works perfectly in Windsor might fail here if we do not account for LaSalle's unique conditions. Our local experience means we get it right the first time.

LaSalle's small-town character means we often work on properties where the original builder or previous contractor cut corners. We regularly repair DIY masonry projects and fix work done by unlicensed contractors who did not understand proper techniques. Common problems include retaining walls built without adequate footings, paver patios installed over inadequate base material, and brick repairs using incompatible mortar. These mistakes cost homeowners thousands of dollars to fix properly. Hiring licensed professionals from the start saves money and prevents headaches down the road.

As LaSalle continues growing and connecting more closely with Greeley, property values keep rising. Quality masonry work protects and enhances your investment. Well-maintained brick and stonework adds significant curb appeal and helps homes sell faster when the time comes. We see this constantly when real estate agents recommend us to their clients for pre-sale repairs. A few thousand dollars spent on professional masonry restoration or enhancement can add tens of thousands to your home's value. That is why choosing experienced, licensed contractors matters so much for your biggest investment.
