About our Allentown masonry contractor business
Brickline Allentown Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Allentown, PA, started in 2023. I come out to look at your job myself and work alongside our small crew, and we're best known for repointing and brick repair on older homes.
How a desk job turned into masonry in Allentown
I spent years behind a desk before I traded it for a trowel. I learned masonry working under experienced masons, and in 2023 I started Brickline Allentown Concrete and Masonry here in Allentown.
Most of our calls come from homeowners in Allentown and the cities around it who've spotted crumbling mortar, a cracked chimney or a wall that needs building or rebuilding. A lot of that is repointing and brick repair on older homes, which is the work we're best known for.
What I care about most is that you understand your own house, so you can make a good choice instead of just taking my word for it. Masonry should suit the building it's on, and a rushed job always shows up later, so we'd rather slow down and get it right.
What working with us looks like on your job
Here's what you can expect from us, from the first visit to the last bit of cleanup. Each point comes from how I learned the trade and what I think masonry owes the building it's on.
You'll know what's wrong and why
I explain what I see on site, in plain words, before you decide anything. If mortar is crumbling or a chimney has cracked, you'll hear what's likely causing it and what the fix involves, so you can weigh it yourself instead of just taking my word.
Mortar that suits your house
We choose mortar and materials to suit your home, older brick and stone included. Older walls usually need a different mix than new work does, so we match the repair to the building and it protects the wall instead of working against it.
The same person, start to finish
I'm the one who walks your job at the estimate, and I'm working with the crew when it gets done. Nothing gets lost between what we talked about in your driveway and what happens on the wall, because the person who heard it is right there.
Permits checked before we start
Permit rules differ from one city, borough or township to the next, so we check with the local office for your property before work starts. If a permit is needed, we take care of the application, and if your home is in a historic district we'll help you reach the historic office early.
Our license, insurance and the city's contractor rules
We're fully licensed and insured. The City of Allentown says licensed contractors are sometimes required for specific work like electrical, plumbing or heating, and its permits and inspections office handles building permits in the city.
- Response time
We reply to calls and messages within one business day.
What happens from your first call to cleanup
Our jobs follow the same four steps, from a few loose bricks to a full wall. Here's what you'll see from us at each one, and what you'll be deciding along the way.
Call or send a message
Call (610) 424-2415 or use our contact page to tell us what you've spotted, like crumbling mortar or a cracked chimney. We reply to calls and messages within one business day and set a time for me to come out and look at it.
I walk the job with you
The estimate is free, done at your house and comes with no obligation. I walk the job with you, explain what I see and why it matters, and tell you plainly what I won't know until the wall is opened up.
You get the scope in writing
After the visit I put the scope in writing, so you can read it over, compare it and ask questions before you decide. Once you go ahead, we do the permit check described above so nothing stalls halfway through the job.
We do the work together
I work on the job alongside our small crew, so the plan we agreed on is the plan that gets built. We take the time each step needs instead of rushing it, then clean up and walk you through the finished work.
