We pride our company on reliability, great communication, integrity, and quality work. We have 15 years of experience in our trade and will do our best to keep you as educated as we can on your particular task or project. We look forward to earning your business!

"We actually had Bellos Construction do considerably more than just a bathroom remodel. Additional work included installing flooring, installing insulation and drywall, demolition work, roofing repair, etc. Overall the experience was good. Jose is very responsive and helped me out quite a bit dealing with renovating and repairing an older house that was not properly taken care of by the previous owners/renters. The only real issue we had was confirming the materials that would be installed in the bathroom (i.e., fixtures, etc). There was some miscommunication there that probably was not helped by the fact we are out of state and trying to manage a construction project. One thing that stood out about Jose was his willingness to help out with things that didn't fall under his contractual obligations. For example, he helped me transport a water tank when he didn't need to do so. If we have a need for services that Bellos Construction offers, then we will definitely consider them in the future given our experiences with them."

Our clients represent a broad-spectrum of industries and business sectors, giving us the opportunity to apply our extensive experience and passion for excellence to each specific project, regardless of the size, or special circumstances. With a well-respected track record behind us, and a solid outlook ahead, we’ve learned that our collective experience with all projects creates exceptional solutions and results for our customers, no matter what they’re building. From transportation structures to multi-level office buildings to retail and medical centers, the purpose of our business is building yours. HCI offers design, management and construction services to make your new construction project easy. Our full-service, turn-key approach assures you of a reliable, seamless process from pre-construction, through construction to final inspection. SITE-EVALUATION SERVICES: HCI's onsite, pre-bid walk-thru's are utilized to determine preliminary job evaluation and budgeting. We incorporate forward planning and identifying potential problems prior to job costing to insure accurate bids. Digital photos and extensive note taking help us to understand the entire project and needs of our clients. PRE-CONSTRUCTION SERVICES: HCI will facilitate the correct interface between owners, architects, engineers, municipalities, local building departments and subcontractors prior to job start up, insures a full understanding of job scope, seamless start up transition and complete schedule adherence. Meeting with all related parties prior to construction start allows everyone to understand each other’s needs, desires and requirements as they relate to the project. Having the opportunity to dialog with all participants takes the “guess-work” out of protocols, scheduling, and the course of communication stream. This process also allows any final or potential problems to be addressed and remedied prior to the construction start date. CONSTRUCTION: A successful construction project always starts with successful planning. HCI prides itself on taking the time to plan and prepare for a project long before the first workers show up on site. Understanding that the complete construction process requires planning, scheduling, tracking, budgeting and proper managing allows our team of highly trained professionals, project managers and site superintendents to operate with optimum performance, and quality control on each and every project we undertake, from conception to completion.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause.

Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.

They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls
