Masonry In Fairlawn, Ohio

Your Fairlawn Masonry Contractor

Fairlawn is mostly a postwar suburb, built out around West Market Street and Ghent Road in the decades when the ranch and the split level were the standard, with Summit Mall as the commercial anchor. The masonry here is younger than what we work on in Wayne County but it is now hitting the age where things start to fail: fireplaces and chimneys from the fifties and sixties, brick and stone veneer that has taken sixty winters, and patios that were poured with the house and never touched since.

Cougar Masonry brings the full trade to Fairlawn: 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.

Midcentury masonry has its own failure pattern. Chimneys from that era were often built with minimal crowns and no caps, so water has been getting into the top of the stack for decades. Veneer from the same period was frequently installed without proper flashing or weep holes, which traps water behind the brick where it freezes. Both problems are invisible from the curb until the day they are not. The repairs are well understood, and doing them before the interior shows damage is far cheaper.
