Masonry Construction
Masonry construction delivers lasting beauty and structural strength for commercial buildings. As your general contractor, we provide complete masonry services from structural block work to architectural brick and stone installations for property owners who value quality and permanence.
Masonry construction has served commercial buildings for centuries because it delivers unmatched durability, fire resistance, and aesthetic flexibility. Modern masonry combines traditional craftsmanship with engineered systems that meet current building codes while providing the timeless appearance property owners value.
DeSoto Concrete Contractors provides full-service masonry general contracting for commercial projects. We work directly with property owners, coordinating masonry work with structural and architectural requirements. From structural CMU block to ornamental brick facades, we deliver masonry systems that perform and impress.
Masonry applications in commercial construction include structural CMU bearing walls, architectural brick veneer, stone cladding and features, retaining walls and seat walls, decorative site walls and columns, firewall construction, and property perimeter walls.
Modern commercial masonry often combines multiple materials. CMU provides economical structure, brick adds attractive facade, and stone accents create visual interest. We coordinate these elements into cohesive systems that meet structural, weather, and aesthetic requirements.

What's the difference between structural and veneer masonry?
Structural masonry carries building loads - walls support roof and floor systems. Veneer masonry is non-structural - brick or stone attached to backup walls for appearance. Each requires different design and detailing.
How does masonry construction timing affect project schedules?
Masonry proceeds more slowly than some systems due to hand-laid construction. We sequence masonry to minimize schedule impact - often beginning early and progressing while other trades work interior areas.
Can masonry match existing buildings for additions?
We can match existing brick or stone closely but exact matching is difficult because masonry products change over time. We work with suppliers to find closest available matches and can blend units for better appearance.
What maintenance does commercial masonry require?
Masonry requires minimal maintenance - periodic repointing of mortar joints, cleaning for appearance, and caulk joint maintenance at transitions. Properly constructed masonry can perform 50+ years with basic maintenance.
