Masonry In Sterling, Ohio

Your Sterling Masonry Contractor

Sterling is a small unincorporated community in Milton Township, a few hundred residents and a lot of surrounding farm ground. The Ross House on Kauffman Avenue dates to 1856 and is a good example of the Western Reserve architecture scattered through this corner of the county. A place this size does not have a mason of its own, which is exactly why we make the trip, and why the work here tends to come three houses at a time once one neighbor is happy.

Cougar Masonry brings the full trade to Sterling: 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.

Most of what stands in and around Sterling was built well and built long ago, which means the masonry is generally sound and the problems are maintenance problems. Stone and block foundations under nineteenth century houses need pointing where they have weathered. Chimneys need crowns. Barn foundations need repair where equipment has clipped them or where water has been running against the same corner for decades. None of it is glamorous work and all of it is the difference between a building lasting another fifty years or not.
