Expert Masonry Services in Portland, Maine.
Hey there neighbor,
I’m Sam Peterson, owner of Masonry Portland Maine, and if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance your brick wall, patio, or chimney is trying to tell you something. Maybe it’s cracked, crumbling, or looks like it just went through a long winter on the Eastern Prom. Don’t worry, you’re not alone. This city’s weather has a special talent for turning beautiful masonry into modern art.
I started Masonry Portland Maine because I was tired of seeing homeowners get stuck between fly-by-night contractors and overpriced big firms that treat you like a line item. We’re the small, local team that shows up when we say we will, gives you straight talk, and treats your project like our own home in Deering Center. And yes, we clean up when we’re done.
If you’ve ever tried to get something built or fixed around here, you know Portland weather doesn’t play nice. The salt air, snow, ice, and those April freeze-thaws do a number on your mortar joints. But we’ve been repairing, restoring, and rebuilding everything from Back Cove to Cape Elizabeth for over a decade.
So, sit back, grab your coffee from Bard or your beer from Allagash, and let me walk you through what we do here at Masonry Portland Maine.
We proudly serve homeowners and businesses across Greater Portland: Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Falmouth, Scarborough, Cape Elizabeth, Yarmouth, Freeport, Gorham, Windham, Cumberland, Biddeford, and Saco.
If you’re anywhere between Back Cove and Casco Bay, we’ve probably done a project near you.

Portland is full of history. From the brick facades in the Old Port to the Victorian homes on the West End, our city’s architecture has stories baked right into the mortar. Our restoration and preservation work keeps that story alive. We restore old brick, stone, and concrete surfaces to their original strength and charm, without erasing the character that makes Portland what it is.
We use period-accurate materials and methods to match original textures and tones, so your home or building keeps its historic integrity. Whether it’s repointing a 100-year-old wall or replacing crumbling limestone on a church in the Arts District, we take the time to do it right. Because in a city this old, shortcuts don’t last.
Learn MoreIf your foundation or load-bearing walls are starting to look like they’ve been through one too many Sea Dogs doubleheaders, it’s time for a professional. Structural masonry is the backbone of your property. Cracks, bowing walls, or uneven settling can lead to bigger problems if ignored.
At Masonry Portland Maine, we repair and reinforce structural elements so your building stands solid through every nor’easter. We handle everything from foundation stabilization and structural retrofits to full wall rebuilds. Our team knows how to strengthen your structure without disrupting its look or function.
It’s not glamorous work, but it’s the kind that lets you sleep through a storm knowing your house is as sturdy as the Portland Head Light.
Learn MoreYou know what separates “a house” from “the house everyone slows down to look at”? Details. We create custom decorative and architectural masonry that gives your property personality. From brick arches and stone veneers to ornate lintels and column bases, we bring craftsmanship and creativity to every project.
Our goal is simple: to make your space beautiful and lasting. Whether you want a classic brick entranceway for your home in Rosemont or a modern stone accent wall in your new office downtown, we’ll design something that fits your vision. The fun part is seeing how good masonry can turn something ordinary into something memorable.
Learn MoreAh, the Maine summer, three perfect months when everyone wants to be outside. Let’s make the most of it. We design and build patios, walkways, retaining walls, and outdoor kitchens that make your yard feel like an extension of your home.
Picture this: a stone patio with a fire pit for those cool coastal evenings, a granite walkway that winds through your garden, or a sturdy retaining wall that actually holds back the hillside instead of slumping into your neighbor’s fence.
We use high-quality stone, concrete, and pavers suited for Maine’s climate, and we make sure the drainage is spot-on so it lasts through the freeze and thaw. Whether you’re in Falmouth, South Portland, or right on Munjoy Hill, we’ll give you outdoor spaces that make you want to invite the whole neighborhood over.
Learn MoreWater is sneaky. It finds every little gap, freeze-expands, and before you know it, you’ve got damage that costs way more than a repair would have. That’s why our waterproofing and building envelope services are so important.
We seal, coat, and protect masonry surfaces to keep moisture out and your investment intact. From below-grade foundation waterproofing to surface sealants and drainage systems, we make sure your structure can handle Portland’s coastal humidity and winter moisture.
A lot of homeowners forget this step until they see leaks or efflorescence (those white stains that mean your brick is crying for help). Don’t wait for that. We’ll help you prevent it.
Learn MoreIf you’re lucky enough to have a fireplace in Portland, you know it’s the heart of the home once the temperature dips below 40 which is about eight months of the year. But when the chimney starts cracking or the mortar’s flaking off, it’s more than an eyesore. It’s a safety hazard.
We repair, rebuild, and restore chimneys, caps, crowns, and flues to full safety standards. We also build new fireplaces, indoor or outdoor, that fit your space perfectly. Whether you want to roast marshmallows in the backyard or cozy up inside, we’ll make sure your fireplace works beautifully and safely.
And yes, we can make it look like it belongs in a Maine magazine spread.
Learn MoreYou know how it goes a nor’easter blows through, a tree limb hits your wall, or that old retaining wall finally gives up the ghost. When that happens, you don’t need to wait a week for someone to call you back. We offer emergency repair services for cracked walls, collapsed chimneys, and other structural issues.
We respond fast, assess the situation, stabilize the area, and plan long-term repairs to keep you and your property safe. Portland weather is unpredictable, but we’ll always be there when you need help most.
Learn MoreThink of it like an annual checkup for your property. Our masonry inspections and maintenance services help you spot small problems before they turn into big ones.
We inspect for cracks, spalling, settling, mortar decay, water infiltration, and other red flags. Then we repair or seal what’s needed to keep your building healthy. If you’re a property manager or own a historic building near Congress Street or the Old Port, this is especially important. Regular maintenance is the difference between a quick fix and a costly rebuild.
Learn MoreHave a big idea but don’t know how to start? We offer design and consulting services for homeowners, architects, and contractors. From concept sketches to detailed material planning, we’ll help you design your masonry project with function, form, and local style in mind.
Portland has a unique mix of old-world craftsmanship and modern design, and we love helping people blend those elements. Whether you’re restoring a historic facade or building a modern courtyard in East Bayside, we’ll make sure your design fits your vision and the local landscape.
Learn MoreCracked mortar, loose bricks, or water stains are common signs that your masonry may need attention. You might also notice uneven surfaces, crumbling joints, or moisture inside your home near brick or stone walls. A professional inspection can confirm whether repairs are needed and prevent more serious damage later on.
The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the project. Small repairs can often be completed in a day, while larger builds or restorations may take a few days to several weeks. Our team provides clear timelines before work begins so you always know what to expect.
Spring through fall is the ideal time for most masonry projects since temperatures and humidity are more stable. However, certain repairs and indoor projects can be completed year-round. We use materials and methods suited to Maine’s seasonal conditions to ensure strong, lasting results.
Regular maintenance and proper waterproofing are the best ways to protect masonry. We recommend sealing brick and stone surfaces, maintaining flashing and drainage, and scheduling routine inspections. These steps help prevent cracking, staining, and structural issues caused by moisture over time.
Professional masons have the training, tools, and experience to ensure every part of the job is safe and durable. Masonry requires skill and precision to prevent structural or moisture problems. Working with mason experts guarantees quality workmanship and results that stand the test of time.
With proper materials and maintenance, good masonry should last decades. Our work is designed to handle Portland’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles, salt air, and moisture.
Simple upkeep goes a long way: clean surfaces once a year, reseal as needed, and inspect after winter. We can handle that for you through our maintenance program.
