Masonry can add durability, function, and character to a home, but the work must be properly planned for the structure, site conditions, drainage, and materials involved.
Clear Creek Home Improvements coordinates masonry projects throughout Parker County and selected surrounding areas. Kevin works directly with homeowners to review the existing conditions, discuss the proposed work, and prepare a detailed written proposal.

Project Planning
Every masonry project is different. The condition of the existing structure, foundation requirements, drainage, access, material availability, and the ability to match existing brick, mortar, or stone can affect the scope and cost.
Some projects may also involve demolition, framing, waterproofing, flashing, concrete, electrical, plumbing, roofing, or finish repairs. These related items should be identified and included when the project is reviewed.
Materials and Existing Conditions
Brick and stone vary in size, color, texture, and availability. An exact match may not always be possible when working on an older home or repairing discontinued materials. Available samples should be reviewed before the final material is selected.
Existing masonry problems may also be caused by foundation movement, water intrusion, improper flashing, drainage, or structural movement. Repairing the visible brick or stone may not correct the underlying cause. When necessary, the source of the damage should be evaluated before the masonry repair begins.
