Masonry Contractor in Spring Lake, NC - Older Brick Repaired Right
J&D Fayetteville Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Fayetteville, working in Spring Lake, NC on brick repair, tuckpointing, chimneys, foundations, retaining walls, walkways and driveway pavers for homeowners.
Spring Lake homes and the masonry they need
Spring Lake is a short drive from our base in Fayetteville, and most of our work here is on houses. We see brick homes with worn joints, block foundations, brick steps and chimneys, and newer houses with brick or stone fronts.
Our calls here are a lot like the ones we get in Anderson Creek and Spout Springs, and over in Dunn: a cracked wall, a leaky chimney, or a homeowner who wants a new walk or driveway built right. On an older house, the job turns on what's already there, how old the brick is and what the last repair used. On a newer one, it's more often about what's behind the veneer and how the yard drains toward the house.
Spring Lake houses and what we find on them
These are the things I see most when I walk a Spring Lake property, and they're why masonry here often needs more than a quick patch.
Brick homes with mortar joints worn back or crumbling are a common call, because open joints let water work into the wall.
Cracked or shifting brick steps, stoops and garden walls show up often, so we look for what moved before we patch anything.
Chimneys that leak into a ceiling usually need the crown and top courses of brick checked up close, not just a bead of caulk.
Cracks in block foundations and crawlspace walls need someone to judge whether it's old settling or something still moving.
The Town of Spring Lake calls for a permit whenever work is done on a building or its systems, with a few exceptions, so we sort that out first.
I check each of these on a visit, because they decide what your work costs and when we can start, along with any permit the city needs first.

Masonry services for Spring Lake homes
Foundation repair
When a foundation here shows stair-step cracks or doors start sticking upstairs, I come look at what's moving before we pick a repair, so the fix holds.
Chimney repair
A chimney that leaks into the ceiling or drops bits of mortar on the roof usually needs the crown and top courses rebuilt, and we check both up close.
Tuckpointing
When the joints on an older Spring Lake brick house have worn back, we grind out the tired mortar and refill them so the wall sheds water again.
Brick repair
Cracked, chipped or loose bricks around steps, sills and corners get cut out and replaced with brick matched as close as we can find, so the repair blends in.
Driveway pavers
If your concrete driveway is cracked or you want something easier to fix later, pavers on a packed base let you lift and reset one section instead of the whole thing.
Retaining wall construction
On a yard that slopes toward the house or the street, a block or stone retaining wall holds the soil back, and we build drainage behind it so water doesn't push it over.
Masonry restoration
For older brick and stone that's stained, cracked and patched a few different ways over the years, we sort out what to repair, what to clean and what to leave alone.
Fireplace installation
If you're adding a fireplace or rebuilding a worn one, we lay the firebox and surround to fit your room, and I walk you through the choices before we start.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer can dress up a plain front, porch columns or a foundation skirt, and it lasts when the backing and water barrier behind it go on right.
Concrete block walls
Block walls suit garages, privacy walls and the bones of an outdoor kitchen, and we size the footing and steel to what each wall has to carry.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition or a new crawlspace, we lay the block foundation walls level and square, because every course above them depends on that first one.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
For a grill station, bar or pizza oven out back, we build the masonry base and counters in brick, block or stone to go with your house.
Walkway construction
A walk from the driveway to the front door in brick, pavers or stone gets a well-packed base first, so it stays flat and even underfoot.
Brick wall installation
A brick garden or yard wall gets a solid footing and a cap that sheds water, and we lay out the line with you on site before we dig.
Stone masonry
Natural stone for steps, walls, columns or a mailbox takes patience to fit, and we pick and set each piece so the joints look right and stay tight.
Brick pointing
If only a few spots on your brick have open or crumbling joints, pointing fills just those areas with matched mortar before water gets into the wall behind.

Why Spring Lake homeowners call us
Good masonry is meant to last a long time, so I'd rather slow down and explain your options than rush the job. Here's what that looks like when you hire us.
The owner on every job
I learned masonry working under an experienced mason and started this business in Fayetteville in 2023. I come out to look at every job myself and work alongside our crew while it's built.
New mortar that suits old brick
Repair on older brick is what we're best known for. Mortar that's harder than the old brick can crack it, so we match the mix to your house instead of using whatever's quickest.
Permits handled, work guaranteed
We're fully licensed and insured, and if your job needs a permit, we handle it with the city and sign as your contractor. Satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Call (910) 302-3425 to get started.
Spring Lake masonry questions we hear
How do I find out if my masonry job needs a permit in Spring Lake?
Ask the city's Inspection Department, because it issues permits for building work and its no-permit list covers things like flooring, trim, cabinets and same-material roofing, not masonry. If your job needs a permit, we take care of it and sign as your contractor, and if it isn't clear, we check with the department before we start. You can also reach Town Hall at (910) 605-1634.
What license does a contractor need to get a permit in Spring Lake, NC?
Each contractor and subcontractor on a Spring Lake permit has to hold a valid North Carolina license for their part of the work. The permit application asks for every contractor's name, address and state license number, and we put ours on it when we pull your permit.
How tall can a brick wall be in my front yard in Spring Lake?
Under the city's rules, a solid wall or fence in the minimum front yard, the setback strip along the street, can be three feet tall at most, and it can reach six feet in the minimum side or rear yard. Within 25 feet of a public right-of-way line, a solid wall stays at three feet or less, while an open fence can be any height. I'll go over where your lines fall before we lay out a new wall.
How long does a building permit last in Spring Lake?
A Spring Lake permit becomes void if work hasn't started within six months of when it's issued, or if work stops for a year after starting. That's why we time the permit for when we're close to starting your job, not months ahead.
Who schedules inspections for a masonry job in Spring Lake?
All inspections are scheduled through the city's inspection office, even when Cumberland County inspectors help out with some of them. The city's online Customer Portal handles inspection requests and status checks, and when we hold the permit, we request the inspections for you.
How much does masonry work cost in Spring Lake, NC?
The cost of masonry work in Spring Lake comes down to the size of the job, the brick, block or stone you choose and what we find once old work is opened up, so I give you a figure after I've seen it in person. Matching old brick, building on a slope or needing a permit can add to it, while a small repair caught early usually costs less than one that's been left to spread.
