Masonry Contractor in Anderson Creek, NC - Brick and Block Work Built to Last
J&D Fayetteville Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor working in Anderson Creek, NC. We repair worn brick joints, cracked walls and leaky chimneys, and we build new retaining walls, walkways and paver driveways for homes here.
Anderson Creek as we see it on our jobs
Anderson Creek is a Harnett County community north of Fayetteville, and since it isn't an incorporated city, the county handles permits and inspections here. A lot of homes carry a Spring Lake mailing address with the 28390 ZIP, so folks aren't always sure which they're in, and that's fine by us because we work in Spring Lake and Spout Springs too.
On our jobs here we see newer subdivision houses with brick across the front, older homes on bigger lots off the country roads, and the gated streets of Anderson Creek Club, where we sort out gate access with you before the crew shows up. Plenty of yards slope, so on walls, walks and driveways, how water runs across your lot shapes the job as much as the brick or block does.
Anderson Creek houses and what their masonry needs
Most of the masonry calls we get out here come down to a few things, and they're worth knowing before you call anyone, because they shape what the work involves.
Brick fronts on newer houses often sit on block foundation walls, and a crack that steps up through the mortar in either one deserves a look early.
Sloping yards need retaining walls with gravel and drainage behind them, because trapped water pushing from behind is what usually tips a wall over.
Paver driveways and walkways settle and rut when the base under them is thin, so the base is where most of the real work goes.
Chimney leaks usually start at a cracked crown or open mortar joints up top, long before you ever see a stain on the ceiling.
Damage, digging, access and any county permit move the price and the schedule most, so I look at each one in person before I put a number in your estimate.

Masonry services for Anderson Creek homes
Foundation repair
When a block foundation cracks or a brick corner starts pulling away, settling is usually behind it, and we find the cause before we patch anything.
Chimney repair
Loose brick at the top of the chimney or water showing up around the fireplace usually traces to the crown or the joints, and we repair both.
Tuckpointing
When the mortar joints on your brick front have gone sandy or sunk back, we rake them out and refill them with new mortar shaped to match.
Brick repair
Cracked, chipped or loose brick on steps, garden walls and house fronts gets cut out and replaced with brick we match as closely as we can.
Driveway pavers
We lay paver driveways for homes here in a pattern you pick, with edging that keeps the pavers from creeping out where the drive meets the yard.
Retaining wall construction
On yards that slope toward the house or the street, a block or stone retaining wall holds the soil back and gives you level ground to use.
Masonry restoration
Older brick and stone that's worn, stained or patched over the years gets cleaned, repointed and repaired in a way that keeps its original look.
Fireplace installation
We build brick or stone fireplaces for living rooms and covered patios, laying up the firebox and flue the way the maker's instructions call for.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer dresses up a plain foundation, a porch column or a front entry, and we put a moisture barrier behind it so water doesn't get trapped.
Concrete block walls
Block walls for privacy, a property line or a shop out back go up on a proper footing, grouted and reinforced wherever the wall needs it.
Foundation block wall installation
For additions, garages and new builds, we lay block foundation walls level and square, because every course above depends on the first one being right.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build the block base, the brick or stone face and the countertop supports for outdoor kitchens and grill stations, sized around the equipment you've chosen.
Walkway construction
Brick, stone or paver walkways from the driveway to your front door or around the back get a packed base so they stay flat underfoot.
Brick wall installation
New brick garden walls, mailbox posts and entry columns get footings sized for the wall and mortar joints tooled so water sheds off the face.
Stone masonry
Natural stone walls, steps and borders are fitted by hand piece by piece, which suits the yards here that need a step or two between levels.
Brick pointing
If only some joints on a wall or chimney have cracked or fallen out, we point those with mortar matched to the old so the repair blends in.

Why Anderson Creek homeowners call us
I left an office job to learn masonry under an experienced mason, and I started this business in Fayetteville in 2023. Here's what that means when we work on your house.
The owner on every job
I come out to look at every job in Anderson Creek myself, and I work alongside our crew when the work gets done, so the person who looked at your wall is the one building it.
Mortar matched to older brick
Repair on older brick is what we're best known for. We match new mortar to the old in strength and color, because mortar harder than the brick can crack the brick around it.
Fully licensed and insured
We're fully licensed and insured. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. I'd rather slow down and explain what your house needs than rush it, so call (910) 302-3425 and ask me anything.
Masonry questions from Anderson Creek homeowners
How do I get a permit for masonry work in Anderson Creek, NC?
Permits here come from Harnett County, where the Building Inspector issues written permits for building, altering or repairing any structure or part of one. The posted county code exempts work of $1,000 or less that doesn't change the structural parts of stairs or other exits, but thresholds can change, so Harnett County Central Permitting is the place to check. If your job needs a permit, we take care of it with the county and sign for it as your contractor, and if it isn't clear, we check with that office before we start.
Do I need a permit for a block storage building in Anderson Creek?
Yes, if it's bigger than 12 by 12 feet, because Central Permitting requires a building permit for any storage building larger than that. A smaller building can still fall under the county's general permit rule, so we confirm it with the county before the footing goes in.
When does a contractor need a general contractor license in North Carolina?
Under state law, a general contractor has to be licensed when the total project cost is $40,000 or more, and the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors oversees that license across the state. A county building permit at that cost also has to list the owner's lien agent, though that doesn't apply to improvements on a single-family home you already live in or to small accessory structures.
Which building code applies to masonry work in Anderson Creek right now?
The 2018 North Carolina State Building Code still applies, according to the State Fire Marshal's office, until the start date for the 2024 Code is set. That date falls 12 months after the office certifies two key conditions are met, and until then an owner or their agent can ask to build to the 2024 Code instead. Since that date may have moved, we confirm which code the county is using when the permit goes in.
What causes cracks in brick and block walls around Anderson Creek?
Most cracks come from the ground moving under the wall or water working into the mortar, and on newer houses some settling in the first few years is common. A crack that steps through the joints or keeps getting wider is worth having me look at, so we fix the cause and not just the crack.
How much does masonry work cost in Anderson Creek, NC?
The cost comes down to the size of the job, the brick, block or stone you pick, how much old work has to come out first and how easy the spot is to reach. Matching mortar on older brick takes more time than new work, and a permit adds a step, so I give you a figure for your own job after I've seen it.
