Masonry In Canton, Ohio

Your Canton Masonry Contractor

Canton is a full sized city with a full range of masonry, from the brick bungalows and four squares in the older neighborhoods to commercial block work downtown and out along the commercial corridors. The Pro Football Hall of Fame and the First Ladies National Historic Site anchor the tourism side, but the work we do here is on the ordinary buildings: chimneys, porches, foundations and brick walls on homes that were built between the two world wars and have been quietly holding up ever since.

Cougar Masonry brings the full trade to Canton: new brick, block, and natural or cultured stone, chimney rebuilds and repair, retaining walls and patios, tuckpointing and restoration, block foundations and building erections, and basements and new additions. One crew handles your project start to finish, with a free written estimate up front and a final walkthrough at the end.

The prewar neighborhoods in Canton have a specific failure pattern. Brick porches and steps go first, because they take the most water and the most traffic. Chimneys go next. Then the mortar on the exposed elevations. Underneath, block and stone foundations that were laid without exterior waterproofing start letting water through at the joints. The work is straightforward if you get to it in that order, and expensive if you wait until the foundation is the first thing you notice.
