Understanding Reno's Unique Masonry Challenges
Here in Reno, your masonry faces conditions that differ from neighboring cities. The high desert climate means intense UV exposure that breaks down mortar faster than in Carson City or Sparks. Temperature swings between day and night can reach 40 degrees, causing expansion and contraction that stresses brick and stone.
Properties near the Truckee River deal with higher moisture levels that accelerate deterioration. Homes in the foothills experience stronger winds and more dramatic freeze-thaw cycles than valley floor properties. Downtown buildings face additional challenges from foot traffic, vehicle vibration, and urban heat island effects.
Many Reno homes were built during the mid-century boom using materials that do not always hold up to our climate. We often see spalling bricks on north-facing walls where snow accumulates and melts repeatedly. The volcanic soil throughout the region can shift and settle, affecting foundations and retaining walls. Our team knows exactly how to address these local conditions with appropriate materials and techniques.
Preserving Reno's Historic Architecture
Reno's historic districts showcase beautiful masonry from the railroad era through the casino boom. These structures need specialized care that respects original craftsmanship while meeting modern safety standards. We have worked on properties throughout the Riverwalk District, Old Southwest, and near the National Automobile Museum.
Buildings from the early 1900s often feature hand-molded bricks and lime-based mortar that require matching for proper repairs. Using the wrong materials can cause more damage than the original problem. We source period-appropriate materials and use traditional techniques when working on historic properties.
Many commercial buildings downtown need careful tuckpointing to maintain their character while preventing water intrusion. Victorian homes near the university often have ornamental brickwork that demands attention to detail. Whether you own a historic home or a converted warehouse loft, we bring the expertise needed to preserve these irreplaceable structures.

Creating Outdoor Spaces Built for Reno Living
Reno homeowners want to make the most of our 300 days of sunshine. A well-designed stone patio or outdoor kitchen extends your living space and takes advantage of our gorgeous weather. Unlike Tahoe, where snow limits outdoor use for months, Reno properties can enjoy outdoor spaces nearly year-round with proper planning.
We design patios and outdoor features that handle our temperature extremes without cracking or shifting. Materials get selected based on your property's sun exposure and drainage patterns. Properties in Northwest Reno need different drainage solutions than South Meadows due to soil composition and slope.
Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces are especially popular here since cool evenings make them usable from spring through fall. Built-in seating and cooking areas turn your backyard into the entertainment hub your family deserves. We handle everything from initial design through final landscaping coordination. The result is an outdoor space that adds real value to your property and gives you a place to actually relax.
Why Chimney Maintenance Matters in Reno
Many Reno homes rely on fireplaces during cold snaps and winter storms. Your chimney takes a beating from temperature changes, wind, and weather exposure. Cracked mortar joints let water seep in, and over time this leads to serious structural problems.
Homes in the foothills and near Mount Rose see more freeze-thaw cycles than valley properties. This accelerates chimney deterioration and can create dangerous conditions. Loose bricks at the crown or damaged flashing allow moisture into your home. We inspect chimneys throughout Reno and catch problems before they become emergencies.
Regular maintenance prevents expensive rebuilds and keeps your family safe. We check for structural issues, damaged mortar, and proper flashing. When repairs are needed, we match materials to your existing chimney and complete the work efficiently. Your fireplace gives your home character and warmth. Let us help you maintain it properly.
