Homes and condos across North Palm Beach
North Palm Beach sits right next to Palm Beach Gardens, where we're based, and just north of Lake Park, so it's a short drive for our crew. It's mostly a quiet residential place, with single-family homes along canals and side streets and condo buildings closer to the water. A lot of the houses we work on here are older, built from concrete block with brick or stone trim, and their mortar has had decades to wear.
That age shapes the job. Matching old brick and mortar takes more looking than new work does, and condo buildings bring an owner or a property manager into the plan, so I like to see the whole wall before I talk about any fix.
Our services in North Palm Beach, FL
Older brick here often has mortar joints gone soft and sandy after decades. We grind out the worn mortar and finish with tuckpointing in a mix matched to your brick, so the joints shed water again.
Cracked brick on steps, planters and house fronts usually starts with a bad joint or shifting ground. We fix that cause first, then replace the damaged brick with the closest match we can get.
Condo buildings and older homes here often carry years of patched, mismatched masonry. We plan the restoration with the owner or property manager, then work section by section so residents can still come and go.
Lots that face a neighbor or a busy road often need a privacy wall. We build block walls on a proper footing with steel and grout, then stucco them to match the house.
Many older driveways here are cracked concrete that's been patched more than once. We dig out, pack a firm base and lay pavers that can be lifted and reset one at a time later.
Homeowners here who live on their back patios often ask for a built-in grill and counter. We build the frame from block, then face it in stone or brick that ties into the house.

How it goes when you call us in North Palm Beach
Call or send us a message
Call (561) 268-0530 or use the form, and tell me a little about what you're seeing. We get back to you to set up a visit at a time that suits you.
I look the job over
I come out, look it over with you and explain what caused the damage, since the cause, how much is affected and how hard your materials are to match are what move the price. Afterward you get a free written estimate that spells out the work.
We pull permits and build
If the job needs a permit, we pull it with the village and set up the inspections, and the schedule waits on that because no work can start until it's issued. Then our lead mason, our crew and I do the work, and you don't have to be home for it.
Clean up and walk it together
We clean up and haul off the debris when the work is done. Then I walk the finished job with you and show you what we fixed and why it failed, so you know what to keep an eye on.
Common questions from North Palm Beach
Do I need a permit for masonry work in North Palm Beach?
Usually yes, since the village generally requires a building permit for any repair, replacement or improvement worth more than $1,000. Its own lists name driveways and fences among the work that needs one. When your job needs a permit, we pull it with the village and set up the inspections.
How do I get a small home project in North Palm Beach exempt from a permit?
The village says a recent state law lets certain small home improvement projects under $7,500 skip the building permit, and you or a licensed contractor acting for you can request the exemption. Structural work still needs a permit no matter what it costs, so check with the village's Building Division before you count on it.
Can I do my own masonry repairs on my North Palm Beach condo?
No, the village requires all work in condominiums and other multi-family buildings to be done by a licensed contractor, and it doesn't allow owner-builder permits for them. We're licensed and insured, and we do this kind of work for condo owners and property managers.
Does a contractor have to register with the Village of North Palm Beach?
Yes, contractors have to register with the village every year to work inside village limits, and they enter their license and insurance information on its online portal. Businesses based outside the village don't pay its business tax receipt, but the yearly registration still applies, so it's fair to ask anyone you hire whether they've done it.
How do I find out if my North Palm Beach home is in a flood zone?
Ask the village, because it gives flood zone determinations and copies of Elevation Certificates for insurance on request. A property in the Special Flood Hazard Area, the mapped high-risk flood zone, may need an Elevation Certificate before a building permit is issued, so it's worth sorting out early on a permitted job.
What affects the cost of masonry repair in North Palm Beach?
It mostly comes down to how much of the wall needs work and how hard your older brick and mortar are to match, which is why I price it on site and not over the phone. A permitted job valued over $5,000 also needs a copy of the recorded Notice of Commencement, and the Palm Beach County website has that form.
