Stone masonry offers both timeless beauty and rugged durability for homes and businesses throughout Spokane, WA. Whether you’re installing a custom patio in Browne’s Addition, repairing a chimney in South Hill, or building a decorative stone wall in Indian Trail, professional masonry work adds long-term value and strength to your property. At Legendary Masonry – Spokane, WA, we specialize in stone masonry installation and repair that meets the unique needs of the Inland Northwest’s climate and architectural charm.
Property Evaluation and Project Planning
Every masonry project starts with a thorough assessment of your site. For new installations, we evaluate the slope, soil condition, drainage, and purpose of the structure to design a lasting solution. Spokane’s seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and occasional snowmelt runoff make proper planning essential to prevent shifting, cracking, and moisture damage.
If you’re requesting a repair, we inspect the existing masonry for signs of deterioration, such as crumbling mortar, loose stones, or water penetration. Many older Spokane homes feature original stone elements that need careful restoration. Once we understand the scope of the project, we build a plan tailored to your property and the region’s conditions.
Selecting the Right Stone for Spokane’s Climate
Spokane’s architecture often blends rustic character with clean, modern lines. Whether your property leans toward Craftsman, traditional, or contemporary styles, natural stone fits right in. We work with materials such as granite, basalt, limestone, and locally sourced fieldstone—stones that perform well in cold winters and hot, dry summers.
If you’re restoring existing masonry, we do our best to match the original materials. Our goal is always to preserve the authenticity of older homes while providing structural improvements that stand up to the elements.
Preparing a Solid Foundation
A strong foundation is essential for any successful masonry installation. For new construction, we clear the site, grade it to ensure proper drainage, and pour a reinforced base using concrete or compacted gravel, depending on the application. Spokane’s variable temperatures and moisture levels demand a stable base to avoid shifting or cracking.
In repair projects, we remove any damaged stone or failing mortar, examine the underlying structure, and rebuild the base if necessary. Whether you’re repairing a retaining wall, patio, or steps, we make sure everything is properly supported to ensure long-term performance.
Expert Installation and Seamless Repair
Our experienced masons take great care to hand-set each stone with precision and skill. Using weather-resistant mortar suited to Spokane’s conditions, we ensure your structure is built to withstand freezing temperatures, moisture exposure, and natural wear over time.
During repairs, we reset loose stones, replace broken pieces, and repoint mortar joints to reinforce the integrity of the feature. We aim to blend the repair seamlessly with the original work so that the result appears as one unified, natural structure—not a patch job.
Final Inspection and Stonework Maintenance
Once your masonry project is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection and clean the site. For exterior work, we often recommend applying a breathable sealant to protect your stone from water absorption, freeze damage, and staining—especially important during Spokane’s wet and cold months.
We also offer guidance on proper stone care. Seasonal maintenance like removing debris, checking for cracks, and resealing can significantly extend the life of your masonry. With just a little attention, your stone features will remain beautiful and functional for decades to come.
