Our Services

We provide comprehensive masonry services throughout Harahan. Whether you need brick repair on an older home near the river or a custom stone patio in one of the newer neighborhoods, our team delivers quality craftsmanship every time.

Why Harahan Homeowners Choose Us

Harahan sits right along the Mississippi River between Elmwood and River Ridge, and we know this community inside and out. Many homes here date back to the mid-20th century, especially along Jefferson Highway and in the older neighborhoods near the levee. These properties often need specialized brick and mortar work that respects their original character while updating them for modern durability.

The proximity to the river means moisture is always a concern. We see more water intrusion issues in Harahan than in drier parts of Jefferson Parish. Your brick walls, chimneys, and foundations face constant exposure to humidity, which can break down mortar joints faster than you might expect. That is why our tuckpointing and repointing services are so popular here. We use modern waterproofing techniques combined with traditional craftsmanship to protect your home.

Harahan also has a growing number of newer homes in subdivisions off Hickory Avenue and near Magnolia Park. These properties often feature brick facades and decorative stone work that need different care than older homes. Whether you live in a vintage cottage or a contemporary build, we tailor our approach to your specific needs. From residential masonry repairs to complete custom installations, we handle it all.

Living so close to Metairie and New Orleans means you have access to the best contractors in the region. We are proud to serve Harahan with the same level of service we bring to every community. Your home deserves expert care, and we deliver results that last.

Chimney Repair in Harahan

Chimneys in Harahan face unique challenges. The high humidity from the river combined with Louisiana's heavy rain can cause mortar to deteriorate faster than in drier climates. We regularly work on chimneys throughout the area, from older homes along the levee to properties in the quieter residential streets near City Park.

Here in Harahan, chimney leaks are one of the most common calls we receive. Water gets into cracks in the crown, damaged flashing, or deteriorating bricks, and before you know it, you have water stains on your ceiling or a musty smell in your home. Our chimney repair services address these problems at their source. We inspect every part of your chimney structure, from the foundation to the cap, and fix what needs fixing.

Many Harahan chimneys also show signs of tilting or leaning, especially on older properties where settling has occurred over decades. This is not something you can ignore. A leaning chimney is a safety hazard and needs professional assessment. We have rebuilt chimneys throughout Jefferson Parish and can tell you exactly what your home needs. Our team works carefully to match the original brick and mortar so the finished work blends seamlessly with your existing structure.

If you notice crumbling mortar, loose bricks, or water damage around your chimney, do not wait. The longer you delay, the more expensive the repairs become. We offer free consultations and honest assessments. Call us today and let us take a look.

Our Process

Step 1: Free Consultation

We start with a free on-site visit to your Harahan property. Our team examines your brick, stone, or masonry structure and discusses your goals. We take the time to understand what you need, whether it is emergency repairs or a planned renovation. You will get an honest assessment of the work required, along with a detailed written estimate. No pressure, no surprises. Just straightforward advice from experienced masons who know Harahan homes inside and out.

Outdoor Living Spaces in Harahan

Harahan's location gives you the best of both worlds. You are close to the city but still have room for a proper backyard. Many homeowners here take advantage of Louisiana's mild winters by creating outdoor living areas where they can enjoy the weather year-round. We specialize in building custom stone and paver patios that turn your backyard into an extension of your home.

Properties in Harahan vary quite a bit. Some have small yards typical of older riverfront homes, while others have generous lots in the subdivisions near Elmwood. Whatever space you have, we can design a patio that fits perfectly. We work with natural stone, pavers, and brick to create outdoor areas that match your home's style. Whether you want a cozy spot for morning coffee or a large entertaining space for family gatherings, we make it happen.

Outdoor kitchens and fireplaces are also popular in Harahan. Imagine cooking dinner outside on a custom-built grill island while your guests relax by a stone fireplace. These features add real value to your home and give you a place to enjoy Louisiana's beautiful evenings. We handle every detail, from the foundation work to the final finishing touches.

The high water table in this area means proper drainage is critical for any outdoor masonry project. We account for local conditions in every design and make sure your new patio or outdoor kitchen stands up to Louisiana weather. Call us to discuss your vision, and we will show you what is possible.

Foundation and Structural Masonry

Foundation issues are common in Harahan, especially in older homes. The soil composition near the river combined with settling over time can lead to cracks in brick foundations, basement walls, and even structural masonry. If you have noticed cracks in your exterior walls, gaps around windows or doors, or other signs of foundation movement, you need to address it quickly.

Our team has extensive experience with foundation repair and structural masonry throughout Jefferson Parish. We assess the extent of the damage, determine the cause, and recommend the best course of action. Sometimes a simple repair is all you need. Other times, more extensive work is necessary to stabilize the structure. Either way, we give you honest advice and quality workmanship.

Waterproofing is another critical service for Harahan properties. The moisture levels here can wreak havoc on masonry over time. We apply modern waterproofing techniques to protect your brick, stone, and concrete from water damage. This prevents mold growth, protects your home's structural integrity, and saves you money in the long run.

Do not let foundation problems get worse. The sooner you address them, the less expensive the fix will be. Contact us for a free inspection, and we will tell you exactly what your home needs.
