"I had both some masonry and roofing done. The estimate was reasonable and so was the final price. Greg and his crew were very professional, tidy, friendly, and did their jobs well. I am happy with my garage roof and the masonry work they did on both the garage and chimney. I would absolutely recommend this company!"

"Matt K and his crew did a very thorough job with interior and exterior work to waterproof our foundation and basement. They were running behind on another job so were a bit delayed in getting started but made up for it by working through part of the weekend to finish up."

"Erie Homes completed a basement waterproofing for us on 11/20/23. We were impressed and pleased by the professionalism and communication at every phase of the project. Brandon expertly explained the Erie Homes waterproofing system, sump pumps, materials, and warranty and provided us with a quote and pricing details. Having being burned by projects in the past, we came back with a long list of questions and conditions. Brandon answered every single one, made sure that we were completely satisfied with the terms, and added our notes to the contract. Project manager Gage and the team that came to our home was quick and professional. They periodically filled us in on the progress and communicated any changes or concerns. When the project was completed, they walked us through and made sure we were happy with the work before leaving. Since finishing, we have had several rainy weeks and a completely dry basement. Based on the product, work, and customer service, we will be highly recommending Erie Homes to anyone needing basement or waterproofing work."

"It went great. They arrived as scheduled. Worked hard all day removing old shrubs and planting new ones. Very pleased with their selection of shrubs and plants. Only complaint might be I was hoping everything planted would be deer and rabbit resistant. Wishful thinking. Overall -- very satisfied."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Address horizontal foundation cracks and leaning chimneys immediately, as Monroe experiences severe frost heave. Perform below-grade masonry work before winter to prevent rapid water intrusion during freeze-thaw cycles. Wait for dry weather in the spring to handle cosmetic tuckpointing and surface efflorescence treatments. Treat any defect that allows water entry as an emergency to protect your home from extensive structural damage throughout the cold season.

Helpful?

Simple tuckpointing takes one to three days of active work, while chimney repairs require two to five days. Foundation parging takes two to four days before backfilling. Expect delays from spring rain, as Monroe receives significant annual precipitation. Permit processing adds five to ten business days. Peak season runs from April through June, which extends contractor wait times by two to four weeks for masonry work.

Helpful?

Older Monroe homes built in the early 1900s feature soft historic brick and lime-based mortars. Using modern cement on these materials causes rapid spalling during MI winters. Homes near the River Raisin face seasonal hydrostatic pressure and require specific flood vents. Clay-heavy soils expand and contract, causing foundation cracking that complicates masonry work. Properties within the historic district also face strict exterior material guidelines and require formal review.

Helpful?

Keep Type S mortar on hand for exterior masonry work, as it withstands the frequent freeze-thaw cycles in MI. Store hydraulic cement to address seasonal water intrusion, especially if your home sits near the River Raisin floodplain in Monroe. You should also keep efflorescence treatments available to clean white salt deposits caused by lake-effect moisture. If working between November and March, have cold-weather additives ready to ensure proper curing.

Helpful?

Implement fall protection systems when working six feet or higher above the ground. Homes built before 1978 contain lead-based paint, requiring strict containment practices. You must use protective equipment to prevent inhaling hazardous silica dust when cutting or grinding old concrete. When using heating equipment for cold-weather masonry work in Monroe, ensure proper ventilation to prevent carbon monoxide buildup and serious fire hazards in enclosed spaces.
