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.

I hired Hicon to do masonry work on my fireplace...an entire tuckpoint job and the fireplace that was an eye sore turned into a great looking focal point. This was the second company that I had to hire...its hard to find good workers like John, Zach, and Dave!
