Learn MoreReach out by phone or through the contact form. Someone from our team gets back to you within one business day. Tell us what you are seeing - there is no need to know the technical details. We will ask a few questions to understand the situation before we come out.
A contractor visits your property, walks the area, and assesses the damage - including spots you may not have noticed yet. You receive a written estimate that explains exactly what work is needed, why it matters, and what it will cost. No pressure to commit on the spot.
Once you approve, we schedule the job, pull any required permits, and send a crew to complete the work. We clean up when we are done, walk you through every repaired section, and hand you your warranty documentation before we leave.
We hold an active Florida contractor license you can verify through the state DBPR. Every job carries liability and workers compensation coverage - so you are not exposed if something unexpected happens on your property.
We come to your property, assess the work in person, and give you a written estimate before anything is scheduled. There is no charge for the visit and no pressure to commit. You get the information and decide.
When you reach out, someone gets back to you within one business day - not three days later, not after a long voicemail chain. If the job is urgent, tell us and we prioritize accordingly.
Every job we complete comes with a written warranty. The coverage terms depend on the scope of work and are spelled out in writing before work begins - so you know exactly what you are getting.

The crew found two sections of failing mortar I had missed completely when they came out. They finished the tuckpointing in two days and the walls look like they did when the house was new. Rain came through two weeks later and nothing got in.
Carlos M., Miramar - Tuckpointing
My floors had been slightly off for two years and I kept putting off calling someone. They assessed the foundation, pulled the permit themselves, and had everything stabilized in three days. The doors close properly now for the first time in years.
Sandra R., Pembroke Pines - Foundation repair
We wanted a stone veneer on the front of the house before we listed it. They matched the existing color well and finished on schedule. Our real estate agent said it was one of the first things buyers commented on during showings.
James T., Fort Lauderdale - Stone veneer installation
We respond within 1 business day - often the same day. There is no obligation after your estimate, and no cost for the on-site visit. After you submit the form, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site assessment at a time that works for you.

Rain forces water into any gap in mortar joints. Once inside, it expands during temperature swings and widens those gaps season by season. Hollywood averages over 60 inches of rain annually, which is why masonry here deteriorates faster than in drier states.
Yes - and significantly. Salt is corrosive to both mortar and the steel reinforcement inside concrete block walls. Homes within a few miles of the Atlantic, as most of Hollywood is, should have mortar joints inspected every five to seven years rather than waiting for visible crumbling.
If you see diagonal cracks from door or window corners, floors that slope visibly, or white chalky stains on exterior walls, do not wait. These are signs that water has already entered the masonry or the structure has shifted. Catching problems early almost always costs less than repairing damage that has had time to spread.
It depends on the scope. Routine mortar repairs typically do not. But structural work - foundation repair, retaining walls, chimney rebuilds - usually requires a permit from the City of Hollywood Building Division or Broward County. The Broward County Building Division site has permit details. A licensed contractor handles the application for you.
Late winter through early spring - January through April - is the best window. Humidity is lower, temperatures are moderate, and mortar cures properly. More importantly, finishing before June means your exterior is sealed before hurricane season begins.
Mortar is softer than brick by design - it absorbs stress and movement so the bricks stay intact. Over 20 to 30 years, that softer material wears down. Think of it like caulk around a bathtub: the tub is fine, but the seal needs refreshing. The Brick Industry Association has in-depth guidance on masonry maintenance.

Learn more about our teamWhite chalky residue (called efflorescence) means water is moving through your masonry and carrying minerals to the surface. Tuckpointing the source joints stops the cycle. Surface cleaning removes the stain after the source is sealed.
Low bids often mean corners were cut on materials, licensing, or permits. In Broward County, unpermitted structural work can surface during a home sale and require costly remediation. A proper bid includes material costs, labor, and any permit fees - ask for a written breakdown.
Yes. Open mortar joints and cracked brick absorb significantly more water during a tropical storm than intact masonry does. Getting repairs done before June - when hurricane season begins - closes those entry points before the storms test them.
If you are not sure whether your masonry issue is urgent, the fastest way to find out is a free on-site visit. Call (754) 294-8074 or send us a message and we will schedule a time to come out.
Hollywood is a city of about 155,000 people located directly between Miami and Fort Lauderdale along the I-95 corridor. The city has its own downtown, beach, and distinct neighborhoods - from the older streets near the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk to the larger lots of Emerald Hills and West Hollywood. It functions as a real community, not just a pass-through suburb, which is why homeowners here take property maintenance seriously.
Most homes in Hollywood were built between the 1950s and 1980s during the postwar Florida building boom, according to Census data. That means a large share of the city's housing stock is concrete block construction - locally called CBS - with mortar that is now 40 to 70 years old. Many of these homes have never had a full masonry inspection. Add in Hollywood's salt air, heavy summer rainfall, and proximity to the Atlantic, and you have conditions that are consistently tough on masonry. Landmarks like the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and the city government centered at hollywoodfl.org sit in a city where the built environment has real age to it.
HWM Hollywood Masonry serves homeowners and property owners throughout Hollywood - from the beach-adjacent condos and small single-family homes on the east side to the newer construction on the western edges near Miramar and Pembroke Pines. Whether your home is in a neighborhood with HOA restrictions or a standalone property near the Intracoastal, we know how to work with the construction types and permit requirements specific to this city.
