Masonry contractor in Fayetteville, NC - mortar and brick that match your house
J&D Fayetteville Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Fayetteville, NC. We repair older brick, chimneys and worn mortar joints, and we build new walls, walkways and driveways for homes across the city.
Fayetteville homes, from older brick to new builds
Fayetteville has a bit of everything we work on, from older brick houses on established streets near downtown to brick ranches from the middle of the last century and newer subdivisions with brick fronts and paver driveways. Most of our calls here are worn mortar joints, cracked walls and chimneys that let water in, plus folks who want a new wall, walk or driveway built right the first time.
We do the same work over in Hope Mills and Spring Lake, but inside the city most jobs come down to the age of the house and where the water goes. Older brick needs a softer touch and more patience, and when rain sits against a foundation, we sort out the water before we fix the wall.
What Fayetteville houses and lots put masonry through
Most of what we fix in Fayetteville comes from the age of the brick, water around the house and weather that runs from frosty winter mornings to long, hot summers.
Many older brick homes here have joints worn back from the brick face, which lets rain sit in the wall instead of running off.
Chimneys take the most weather on a house, and a cracked crown, the concrete cap on top, is usually where leaks start.
Block foundations and crawlspace walls show stair-step cracks when the ground under them settles or stays wet for long stretches.
In most neighborhoods, city drainage is built for a storm expected about once in 10 years, so a bigger one can leave water against walls.
Those are what I check on a visit, and they move the price and schedule, along with the weather and what we find once old mortar comes out.

Masonry services for Fayetteville homes
Foundation repair
Cracked block or brick foundations show up here when wet ground shifts under a house, and we find the cause before we patch the crack.
Chimney repair
When a chimney leaks or sheds brick, we rebuild the crown, repoint the open joints and replace bad brick so water stops getting in.
Tuckpointing
When mortar joints have worn back from the brick face, we grind out the old mortar and pack in new joints shaped to match the originals.
Brick repair
Bricks that are flaking, cracked or loose get cut out and replaced with brick close in size and color, so the repair blends into the wall.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway holds up when the base under it is dug out and packed right, so that's where we spend our time before laying a single paver.
Retaining wall construction
Sloped yards here need walls that let water drain out from behind them, so we build in drainage and a solid footing before the wall goes up.
Masonry restoration
For older brick that's worn all over, we work through the joints, bricks and trim as one job, so the whole house wears evenly from here on.
Fireplace installation
We build masonry fireplaces into new rooms or existing walls, laying the firebox, hearth and surround to fit the room and how you'll use it.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer dresses up a plain block foundation or front wall, and we set it over a backing that lets water drain out instead of soaking in.
Concrete block walls
Block walls work well for property lines, sheds and garage walls here, and we put steel and grout in the hollow cores where extra strength is needed.
Foundation block wall installation
For additions and new builds, we lay foundation block level and square on the footing, because every wall and floor above it depends on that.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
An outdoor kitchen built of block, brick or stone gives your grill and counters a base that stands up to summer heat and rain on a back patio.
Walkway construction
We build brick, stone and paver walkways on a packed base and slope them slightly so rain runs off instead of puddling at your front step.
Brick wall installation
New brick walls, from garden walls to entry columns, get a footing below the soft topsoil and brick picked to look right beside your house.
Stone masonry
Natural stone steps, walls and borders take patience to fit, and we shape and set each piece for tight joints and work that stays put.
Brick pointing
If a few joints have cracked or gone sandy, we rake them out and fill them with fresh mortar matched to the old before water gets behind the brick.

Why Fayetteville homeowners call us for masonry
Good masonry is meant to last a long time, so I'd rather slow down and explain what I see than rush a job. Here's what that looks like on your house.
The owner on every job
I come out to look at every Fayetteville job myself, and I work alongside our crew on the job itself, so the person who sized up your wall is there when it gets fixed.
New mortar that suits old brick
Repair on older brick is what we're best known for. Older walls usually need a softer mortar than today's standard mix, and I match it so the new joints don't end up harder than the brick.
Licensed, insured and guaranteed
We're fully licensed and insured, and we've been at this since 2023. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Call (910) 302-3425 or use the form above, and I'll set a time to come see it.
Common masonry questions from Fayetteville homeowners
Who has to sign the permit application for masonry work in Fayetteville?
A licensed contractor or their genuine employee has to sign it, under state law. Inside city limits, the city's Permitting and Inspections Department enforces the state building code, and it voids a permit signed by a real estate agent, a permit expeditor or anyone else, with possible legal action on top. If your job needs a permit, we take care of it with the city and sign for it as your contractor, and if it's not clear whether one is needed, we check with the department before we start.
How do I know if my contractor needs a general contractor license in NC?
A general contractor has to be licensed by law when the total project cost is $40,000 or higher, according to the NC Licensing Board for General Contractors. You can hold your project's total up against that line before you hire anyone. We're fully licensed and insured, and I'm glad to walk you through what your job involves.
When can we use a new addition in Fayetteville?
You can use a new addition once the city issues a Certificate of Occupancy/Compliance for it. Before that, permitted work gets inspected during each phase or before it's covered up, so we don't bury or close in any foundation work until it's been checked. As the permit holder, we can call the inspector for your area or use the city's online portal to set up each inspection.
Does the City of Fayetteville help with drainage problems on my lot?
It can, through the city's drainage assistance program, which helps private property owners with drainage issues outside the city's right-of-way, the public strip along the street, when those issues may affect the city's drainage system. If water is soaking a foundation or pushing on a retaining wall, I'll look at where it's coming from before we build, because a wall alone won't fix a water problem.
How much does brick and mortar repair cost in Fayetteville?
The cost comes down to how much mortar or brick has to come out, how hard the old materials are to match, how high the work sits and how easy it is to reach. Soft mortar on an older house or a brick that's hard to find takes more time, and a chimney needs more setup than a low garden wall. You get your own figure from the estimate after I've seen the work in person.
What is the best way to protect new mortar in Fayetteville's weather?
The best way is to keep fresh mortar from freezing in winter and from drying out too fast in summer heat. The 1981-2010 normals for Fayetteville Regional Airport list a January 1 low of 32.9 and a July 15 high of 91.4, so winter mornings sit near freezing and summer afternoons run hot. We cover fresh joints when frost is likely and keep them damp in the heat so they cure the way they should.
