Jupiter homes from the inlet to inland streets
Most people know Jupiter by the water: the Riverwalk along the Intracoastal, the lighthouse at the inlet and the River Center out by the river. Our jobs here tend to split two ways. Near the inlet and river, we're mostly working on homes with paver driveways, pool decks, garden walls and outdoor kitchens, where the stonework has to look as good as the house. Farther inland, it's more block houses with brick trim, entry columns and walkways that have settled over the years. As a masonry contractor in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, we're a short drive south of here, and we do the same work up in Hobe Sound and as far down as Boynton Beach.
That split shapes the job. Out by the water, people usually call about how the work looks, and inland it's more often something that moved. Either way, a sunk paver or a joint that keeps cracking usually has a cause underneath, like a base that was never packed tight or water running where it shouldn't, so I find that before we fix the part you can see.
Our services in Jupiter, FL
Brick trim on older Jupiter homes often has joints gone sandy or cracked, which lets water into the wall. We grind out the tired mortar and pack new joints matched to your brick.
Cracked or loose brick on entry columns, planters and front steps around Jupiter usually traces back to water or movement underneath. We find that cause first, then reset or replace the brick so the repair holds.
Plenty of Jupiter driveways are paver, and a sunk corner or rocking stones usually means the base below gave way. We lift the driveway pavers, repack the base and lay them back tight.
Outdoor kitchens are a common call from Jupiter homes with big back patios. We build the block base and the stone or brick facing, and set it level on a solid footing.
Older Jupiter walkways that have heaved or settled trip people on the way to the door. We dig out, pack a firm base and lay brick, paver or stone paths that sit flat.
Many block homes in Jupiter get stone veneer on entry walls and columns to dress up plain stucco. We set it over a proper backing so water drains out instead of sitting behind the stone.

How it works when you call us in Jupiter
Call or send a message
Call (561) 268-0530 or use the form and tell us what you're seeing at your Jupiter home. We get back to you to set up a time, and a photo or two helps me come ready.
Walk the job with me
I come out myself and look it over with you, because I'd rather show you why a joint cracked than just tell you. Then I send a written estimate that lists the work and the price, so you know where you stand before anything starts.
We handle any permit
If the job needs a permit, we pull it with the office that covers your address and set up the inspections. You don't have to stand in any lines for it.
Work, clean up, walk through
Our lead mason, the crew and I do the work inside Jupiter's building hours, which run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays. When we're done, we clean up and walk the finished job with you.
Jupiter masonry questions answered
Do I need a permit for masonry work in Jupiter, FL?
Masonry isn't on the Town of Jupiter's list of work that needs no permit, which names jobs like painting, tiling and carpeting, so ask the Town's Building Department rather than assume either way. I'll look at that with you at the estimate, and if your job needs one, we take care of it.
How do I tell if a small brick repair in Jupiter needs a permit?
The Town exempts replacement or repair work valued under $1,000, or more with the building official's okay, as long as it won't affect the structure, the fire rating or the way out of the house. A few loose bricks on a planter might fit that, while a wall that carries weight may not, so we check before we start.
What building code does masonry work in Jupiter have to meet?
Masonry work in Jupiter follows the Florida Building Code along with the Town's own amendments to it. That holds even for work that needs no permit, because the Town's exemptions don't excuse anyone from the code or local law, so a job without a permit still has to be built right.
What drives the cost of masonry repair in Jupiter?
The price comes down to how much material we replace, what's causing the damage and how hard the spot is to reach. A few cracked joints cost far less than a wall that has to come apart because water got behind it, and a paver driveway that needs a new base costs more than one that just needs resetting. The schedule turns mostly on whether a permit and inspections are involved, and your written estimate gives your own figure.
Does a masonry contractor need a business tax receipt to work in Jupiter?
Yes, the Palm Beach County Tax Collector says anyone selling services in the county, home-based businesses included, needs a local business tax receipt. Jupiter itself stopped requiring a separate business license from Town businesses, so the county receipt is the one that applies. We're licensed and insured.
How do I get a masonry permit if I live in unincorporated Palm Beach County near Jupiter?
In unincorporated Palm Beach County, the county's Permit Center handles building permit applications instead of the Town. We pull permits with whichever office covers your address, so you don't have to sort out which one it is.
