Our Services

River Ridge properties deserve quality masonry work. We offer complete brick, stone, and concrete services for homes throughout this community. Whether your home needs repairs or you want to add custom features, we have the skills and experience to do it right.

Masonry Services Throughout River Ridge

River Ridge sits between Harahan and Kenner along Jefferson Highway, and we serve every neighborhood in this area. The homes here range from mid-century ranches to newer two-story builds, and each property type has its own masonry needs. Many older homes feature original brick facades and chimneys that need careful restoration to maintain their character.

Properties near the 17th Street Canal often face moisture challenges due to their proximity to water. We handle a lot of tuckpointing and waterproofing work in these areas. The constant humidity can break down mortar joints over time, and if left unchecked, it leads to bigger problems. Our team knows exactly how to protect your brick and stone from Louisiana's tough climate.

River Ridge also has plenty of commercial properties along Jefferson Highway. We work with business owners who need reliable commercial masonry services for storefronts, parking areas, and building facades. Whether you own a retail shop or an office building, we can help maintain and improve your property's appearance.

Unlike some contractors who serve a huge territory, we focus on Jefferson Parish. That means we understand local building codes, weather patterns, and the specific challenges River Ridge properties face. When you hire us, you get a team that knows your neighborhood and cares about doing quality work.

Retaining Walls and Drainage Solutions

Many River Ridge properties have sloped yards or uneven terrain that require retaining walls. These structures do more than look good. They prevent soil erosion, create level areas for landscaping, and protect your foundation from water damage. We build custom retaining walls that combine strength with style.

Here in River Ridge, proper drainage is critical. Heavy rainstorms can dump inches of water in a short time, and if your property does not have good drainage, that water ends up pooling against your foundation. A well-designed retaining wall includes drainage features that direct water away from your home. We plan every project with local conditions in mind.

Your retaining wall options include natural stone, concrete block, and brick. Each material has its advantages, and we can help you choose what works best for your budget and aesthetic preferences. Natural stone gives you a rustic, timeless look. Concrete blocks offer durability at a lower cost. Brick blends beautifully with traditional home styles common in River Ridge.

Whether you need a small garden wall or a large structural retaining system, we have the experience to build it right. Our team handles the excavation, foundation work, wall construction, and finishing details. You get a complete solution that lasts for decades.

Our Process

Step 1: Free Consultation

We come to your River Ridge property for a free consultation. Our team looks at your masonry needs, listens to your goals, and answers all your questions. We take measurements, assess the condition of existing structures, and discuss your options. You will receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down the work and costs. There is no obligation and no pressure. Just honest advice from experienced professionals.

Custom Patios and Outdoor Spaces

River Ridge homeowners love spending time outdoors, and we help them create spaces where they can do exactly that. A custom patio transforms your backyard into an outdoor room where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy Louisiana's pleasant weather. We build stone and paver patios that fit your lifestyle and budget.

The homes in River Ridge typically have good-sized yards, which gives you room to create something special. Whether you want a simple paver patio off your back door or an elaborate outdoor living area with a kitchen and fireplace, we make it happen. We handle the design, site preparation, installation, and finishing work. You get a complete outdoor space ready to use.

Material choices include natural stone like flagstone or bluestone, concrete pavers in various colors and patterns, and traditional brick. Each option has its own look and feel. We bring samples to your home so you can see how different materials will look with your house. We also explain the pros and cons of each choice so you can make an informed decision.

Outdoor kitchens are increasingly popular in River Ridge. Imagine grilling dinner on a custom-built island while your family relaxes nearby. Add a fireplace for cooler evenings, and you have an outdoor space you will use year-round. We design and build complete outdoor living areas that become your favorite part of your home.

Steps, Walkways, and Entryways

Your front steps and walkway create the first impression of your home. Cracked, uneven, or deteriorating steps are not just unsightly. They are also a safety hazard. We repair and rebuild brick and stone steps throughout River Ridge. Whether you need to fix a few loose bricks or completely rebuild your front entrance, we have the skills to do it right.

Many River Ridge homes have original brick or concrete steps that have settled or cracked over the years. We carefully remove damaged materials, prepare a solid foundation, and rebuild the steps to match your home's style. If you want to upgrade from plain concrete to brick or stone, we can handle that too. The result is a beautiful, safe entrance that adds value to your property.

Walkways are another area where we see a lot of work in River Ridge. A well-designed paver walkway connects your driveway to your front door, your patio to your yard, or your house to your garage. These pathways need to be level, properly drained, and built to last. We use quality materials and proven installation techniques to create walkways that look great and stand up to daily use.

If your steps or walkways need attention, do not put it off. The longer you wait, the worse the problem gets. Call us for a free assessment, and we will show you what needs to be done. We work throughout River Ridge and can usually start your project within a few weeks.
