How Our Process Works

When you schedule brick or block wall construction in Concord, the first step involves site assessment, soil testing, and layout marking to ensure proper alignment and drainage. Foundation trenches are excavated, filled with compacted gravel or poured concrete, and allowed to cure before the first course of brick or block is set. You receive a timeline that accounts for material delivery, weather conditions, and required inspections.

Entrust Masonry Recovery uses laser levels and string lines to maintain consistent coursing and plumb walls throughout the build. Mortar joints are tooled for uniform appearance and maximum weather resistance. Rebar and tie-ins are added as needed for structural integrity, and weep holes or drainage features are installed to prevent water buildup behind walls.

Once the wall reaches its final height, cap blocks or coping stones are installed to shed water and protect the top course. Excess mortar is cleaned from surfaces, and joints are inspected for voids or weak spots. The finished structure is checked for stability, alignment, and drainage function before the site is cleared and restored.

What's Included in This Service

Property owners in Concord frequently ask about material choices, structural requirements, and long-term performance when planning brick or block walls. The questions and answers below cover the most important details to help you move forward with confidence.

What is the difference between brick and CMU block walls?
Brick walls are built with individual clay or concrete bricks and offer a traditional appearance, while CMU block walls use larger hollow concrete units for faster installation and greater structural strength. Both require proper footers and mortar.
How thick does a brick wall need to be?
Most residential brick walls are built as single wythe with a thickness of around four inches, though structural or retaining walls may require double wythe or reinforced construction. Your contractor will specify thickness based on height and load.
Can you match existing brickwork for repairs?
Yes, matching brick color, size, and mortar tone is part of the repair process. Samples are compared on-site to ensure the closest possible match with aged or discontinued brick styles.
Do block walls need reinforcement?
Block walls taller than three feet or subject to lateral pressure typically require vertical rebar placed in hollow cores and filled with grout for added strength. Local codes determine specific reinforcement requirements.
How long does it take to build a brick or block wall?
A standard garden or perimeter wall can be completed in three to five days depending on length and height. Larger structural walls or commercial projects may take one to two weeks including curing time and inspections.
