Meet the second generation masonry contractor in Tampa FL
I learned masonry working next to my father, and I opened Cornerstone Tampa Concrete and Masonry in Tampa. I still answer the phone and come out to look at the jobs myself. We're licensed and insured, and best known for brick and mortar repair on older homes and for new block, stone and paver work.
Most calls start with a crack, a leak or a wall you want built. I want the fix to fit the problem, so if a wall needs a few joints, that's the job, and if something bigger is going on, I'll tell you on the spot.
We're based in Tampa and work in the cities around it on both sides of the bay. You can read more about me and the crew, or get in touch if your city isn't listed.
- A clear written estimate

Questions Tampa homeowners ask us
How much does masonry repair cost in Tampa?
It depends on how big the repair is, how easy it is to reach and what we find behind the damage, so I give you your figure at a free estimate at your property. A few loose joints cost far less than rebuilding a section of wall, and matching older brick or mortar can add to the price.
Why do masonry quotes in Tampa vary so much?
Quotes usually differ because contractors are pricing different fixes, one patching the crack you see and another fixing what's causing it. Ask each one what's behind the damage and how they'll match your mortar, and the gap usually makes sense.
How long does a masonry job take in Tampa?
It depends on the size of the job, whether it needs a permit and inspections, and how long mortar or concrete needs to set before the next step. When I walk the job, I'll tell you what your schedule turns on before you decide.
Are you a licensed and insured masonry contractor in Tampa FL?
Yes, we're licensed and insured. You also deal with me, the owner and a second generation mason, from the first visit to the final walkthrough, so you know exactly who's responsible for the work.
Will a masonry contractor tell me if I only need a small repair?
I will, because if a wall only needs a few joints, that's the job I'll quote. If something bigger is going on, like a downspout dumping water against the wall, I'll tell you on the spot so you can decide that day.
Do you guarantee your masonry work?
Yes, our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. I walk the finished job with you before we call it done, so you can point out anything you want to talk through while I'm there.
Will new mortar match the old brick on my house?
Yes, we match new mortar and stone to what's already on your house so repairs blend in and don't hurt older brick. Mortar that's harder than old brick can crack the brick around it, so on older homes we use a softer mix and match the color before we start.
Do I need a permit for masonry work in Tampa?
It depends on the job, and when yours needs one, we pull the permit, handle the paperwork with whichever office covers your address and line up the inspections. Inside city limits, the City of Tampa's Construction Services issues building permits, and permitted work has to pass the city's final inspection. If you want to check a job yourself, the office answers at 813-274-3100, Option 1, weekdays from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
