"Miller Construction Group did an outstanding job on our stamped concrete patio. From the initial planning to the final finish, everything was handled professionally and with great attention to detail. The craftsmanship is top-tier?the pattern, color, and overall finish came out even better than we expected. The crew was on time, organized, and kept the jobsite clean. The project was completed on schedule, and the results completely transformed our outdoor space. If you?re looking for high-quality concrete work done right, I highly recommend Miller Construction Group."

"Repaired 2 cracks in basement wall that have been producing water in my basement for years. Thus far 2 rainstorms that in the past would have caused water to be in my basement hae not done so. His charge for repairs was thousands of dollars less expensive than my 2 other estimates. George and his helper appeared a scheduled and completed the job in short order. His outstanding reviews from others certainly are warranted and I highly recommend him."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Using materials rated for a cold, moist climate is critical for lasting masonry work in NY. Professionals must match mortar hardness to your existing brick to prevent the faces from cracking. Proper drainage, functional gutters, and grading water away from the foundation directly extend the lifespan of your repairs. Always schedule outdoor projects between May and October, as proper curing requires temperatures consistently above forty degrees.

Helpful?

Inspect your exterior walls and foundation every spring after the final freeze-thaw cycle. Look for flaking brick faces, white salt deposits, or mortar erosion deeper than a quarter inch. On hilly Ithaca properties, check uphill-facing foundation walls for horizontal cracks caused by soil pressure. Schedule masonry work immediately if you notice stair-step cracking or basement water infiltration, as these indicate serious structural settlement or drainage failures.

Helpful?

A standard chimney repointing takes one to three days, while foundation repairs require three to ten days. Larger retaining wall projects take up to six weeks. Weather delays frequently extend timelines during the unpredictable Ithaca spring and fall seasons. Because the outdoor season only lasts from May through October, expect longer scheduling lead times and secure your contractor early to ensure timely masonry work.

Helpful?

You have excellent green building options for masonry work in NY. Choose locally sourced bluestone or limestone to reduce transportation emissions. For older historic homes, contractors use lime-based mortars, which feature lower embodied carbon than standard cement. You can also utilize thick stone walls as thermal mass to absorb and release heat, improving your home's energy efficiency during the cold winters and warm summers across New York State.

Helpful?

Allowing road salt and ice melt to sit on brick or stone damages mortar joints quickly. Directing downspouts toward your foundation or letting soil build up against exterior walls traps moisture. In Ithaca, this trapped water freezes and thaws constantly, accelerating deterioration. You should also keep climbing plants like ivy off older homes, as their roots embed deeply and break apart the masonry work over time.
