If your home needs masonry work, give us a call first. To get the best results you need to start your project properly. After talking with you, we will help you make a material selection and give direction as to which supplier has what you are looking for and set you up with the best in the business. That's just the beginning of our quest for excellence. There are hundreds of little details that add up. For example when laying a flagstone patio we use a special bonding agent, and waterproof mortar additives.
We understand the art and science of a fireplace that drafts well, radiates warmth, and looks great. It is easy for an inexperienced mason to build a fireplace that commonly fills the house with smoke. We consider that a complete failure and we don't want that to happen to you.
We are the one contractor who can do every step. We have excavation equipment that can get into tight spaces and remove the dirt. We also have heavy-duty concrete saws to cut through your basement walls. We will connect to your foundation's drain for positive drainage. Then install an egress area well. For the window we build the treated window buck frame from pressure treated lumber and frame a header if necessary. We also install the window, trim, and caulk. To finish we backfill with clear stone and it top off with clay to shed water.
Donahue Masonry is not your typical sub contractor. When we are involved in your project, our commitment is to the success of the entire project. We start by going over the plans. Once we understand the project we will coordinate with the other subs to make sure the job runs smoothly. By doing so, we head off small issues before they can become big problems. Before a job begins we communicate with our supplier to make sure that all the materials are stocked, staged, and ready for a prompt delivery.
Donahue Masonry does the work of three typical sub contractors in less time and with much better results. This means your home addition will be done sooner and with less headaches. On smaller additions, we do our own excavating. Next we will form and pour the footings. Then we will build the reinforced block foundation, install waterproofing, insulate and backfill. Coordinating three or more contractors to do the job will take longer and cost more money. Donahue Masonry has specialized equipment for excavating small additions.
If you need stone work, brick, block laying or concrete work call us first. We have many years of experience with natural stone, thin cut and cultured. All types of brick and concrete block. We install concrete driveways, patios, sidewalks and retaining walls. We also provide excavation, demo and hauling. Our favorite jobs are the ones that offer a challenge, which others may not be willing to take on! On larger jobs the key to a quality job is consistency and cooperation with the other trade contractors, having the material ordered ahead of time and staying on schedule.
