Winter Masonry Services That Work Inside — When It’s Too Cold Outside
As temperatures drop and outdoor projects slow down, winter becomes the ideal time to focus on interior masonry repairs that protect your home from the inside out. Whether you're dealing with cracked basement stone walls, deteriorating mortar, or foundation issues, addressing them now can prevent small problems from becoming costly structural concerns in the spring.
Our expert masons specialize in working efficiently within your home, using clean, safe techniques to repair and restore aging masonry — even during the coldest months. It’s proactive maintenance that protects your investment and gives your home a solid foundation for years to come.
Don’t wait for warmer weather to take action.

We had chipmunk damage to our back paver patio that was growing very uneven. Steve Parrot, from Hicon, Inc, came out to assess the work that needed to be done. In ten minutes he was assuring me they could handle the job. When it was all done I was amazed at how professional he was and how friendly and knowledgeable the repair guys were. They worked quickly and competently to set right the uneven pavers. It now looks great!! The price was also reasonable. I would call on them again any time! They were exactly what we needed.
