"J&E Masonry completed a stone wall repair as well as a small concrete entrance repair for me, both with outstanding effort in all aspects related. Time to come out after initial contact, view desired work and provide an estimate was remarkable. Start dates were provided and time frames for completion maintained. Work was meticulous and cleanup exceptional. Thank you Edgar and Micheal-recommend without reservation."

"Wonderful job all around. We hired Mike to complete a considerable project that ' was originally supposed to only encompass reparing and covering a 100 year old front porch with flagstone. We ended up expanding the project to add several patio areas, including an outdoor fire pit area. Mike is so knowledgeable and the quality of his work is excellent. He walked us through the project and suggested design options to help save money. Mike and his employees were professional, polite, and very skilled. We love our new front porch and outdoor entertaining areas. I would recommend Classic Masonry without hesitation."

"In preparation we moved everything in the basement away from the walls like they asked, although some of the shelves that I built could not be moved more than ~24 inches away from one of the walls. The next day the crew of three came over promptly at 8 AM. I told the crew leader about the shelves and he said that the space may be sufficient depending on the how far the footer underneath came in from the walls (as it turned out it was fine). They also moved the heavy concrete utility sink out of the way without damaging it. They crew hung plastic to partition the untouched sections of the basement and the rest of the house. I was told that the job was to take two days and it did. They cleaned up as best they could--vacuuming the stairs and didn't leave any debris or trash inside or out, although there was a light coating of dust on the everything in the basement which I expected. When they finished they walked me though the basement and everything looked great so I was glad to pay them as agreed in the contract. I am very pleased with the job, although I was slightly dissatisfied with the concrete pored over the drain because it wasn't always level with the existing floor and wasn't totally troweled smooth (I ended up floating the sections of the patch myself to level and get a better finish). Overall I think those are minor criticisms it was was a more than satisfactory experience."

"I got a quick response to my inquiry and had an estimate the same day. The price was very reasonable. He took pictures of the damage in my chimney. Explained the repair process. The job was completed on schedule with new pictures of his work. I am completely satisfied and highly recommend Set in Stone Forever for any stucco job you have."

"I called The Driveway Lady to get a quote and ideas on how to solve a difficult problem with my concrete porch. My home was built in the late 1800s and has a large raised concrete wrap around porch surrounded by beautiful stone walls. Replacement would be prohibitive, but there were some substantial cracks and pitting. It was like walking on an ocean reef, it was so rough, and the repairs made to the cracks wouldn’t hold, but Jean determined that it was otherwise secure with no water penetration below. She suggested they repair the cracks with hydraulic cement and then coat the entire surface with Miracote to seal both the cracks and smooth the surface and protect from future pitting. They worked with me to get the color right when I didn’t like the initial application.  Jean stands by her work and does an outstanding job. The people she has working for her are also courteous, pleasant and easy to work with. I can’t recommend her and her team enough."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

In Reading, begin spring by checking for freeze-thaw damage, spalling, or efflorescence on masonry surfaces. Inspect drainage systems before summer storms, and assess mortar joints for wear during warmer months. In fall, reseal exposed masonry and check for gaps before winter. Throughout winter, monitor for new cracks or ice buildup, especially in areas prone to flooding or near the Schuylkill River.

Helpful?

After masonry work in Reading, shield new surfaces from moisture and temperature swings for the first month, especially during freeze-thaw cycles. Apply a breathable masonry sealer within three months to guard against Reading’s wet climate, and plan to reapply every few years. Schedule a post-winter inspection for settling or cracks, promptly remove leftover mortar, and document all repairs for future reference and warranty claims.

Helpful?

In Reading, homes built before 1940 may have irregular stone foundations, lime mortar, or visible settlement, all of which can complicate masonry work. Watch for cracks, water stains, or evidence of past flooding—especially near the Schuylkill River. Properties on hillsides or with high water tables often require specialized drainage and grading strategies to ensure a stable foundation for new masonry projects.

Helpful?

When hiring in Reading, prioritize masonry contractors with proven experience in local stone types like brownstone and limestone, and familiarity with Reading’s unique soil and drainage challenges. Ask for references from recent area projects and confirm their knowledge of local building codes. Contractors with strong supplier relationships and a track record of timely, high-quality work are best suited for Reading homes.

Helpful?

In Reading, homeowners often overlook the impact of local clay soils and limestone bedrock, which can cause shifting if not properly addressed by a masonry contractor. Skipping drainage solutions, choosing materials unsuited for repeated freeze-thaw cycles, and delaying projects until late fall are frequent missteps. Failing to secure necessary permits or using incompatible mortar on historic homes can also result in foundation repair issues.
