Basements & New Additions

Adding onto a home is different from building new. The new foundation has to tie into the old one correctly, the floor heights have to land where the plans say, and the visible masonry has to match what has been standing there for decades. Cougar Masonry handles all three, which is why builders and homeowners across Northeast Ohio bring us their addition projects.

We build full basement foundations for additions and new construction, from footers through waterproofed block walls ready for framing. Above grade, we carry your existing brick or stone across the new work with careful matching of unit, color, and mortar so the addition looks like it was always part of the house.

Common Questions

Can you match the brick on my 30 year old house?+

Almost always. Brick styles run in long production families, and where an exact unit is discontinued we blend the closest match with a matched mortar so the transition disappears.

Do additions need frost depth footers too?+

Yes. Every addition foundation we build sits on footers below frost depth and gets tied into the existing foundation so the two move together.

Do you work with my builder or architect?+

Yes. Much of our addition work comes through builders and general contractors. We work from your prints, hit the schedule, and coordinate inspections for our phase.
