Masonry Block Services by Sargent and Sons

Concrete masonry block (CMU) is one of the most reliable and widely used building materials in modern construction. At Sargent and Sons Stoneworks, we offer professional CMU construction services, including masonry wall repair for both residential and commercial projects that require strength, precision, and long-term durability. Whether you're building a foundation, retaining wall, garage, addition, or a structural masonry wall, our concrete masonry block solutions deliver the stability and performance needed for serious load-bearing work.

Masonry block, commonly referred to as a concrete block or CMU (concrete masonry unit), is crafted from a blend of cement, aggregate, and water, shaped into solid rectangular blocks. In CMU construction, these blocks are stacked and reinforced with mortar, steel rebar, and occasionally concrete fill, resulting in remarkably strong masonry walls. Concrete masonry block is highly regarded for its high compressive strength, fire resistance, moisture resistance, long lifespan, and cost-effective construction, making it a superb choice for various building applications. Additionally, understanding masonry wall repair is crucial for maintaining the durability and integrity of structures built with CMU.

At Sargent and Sons Stoneworks, we specialize in a diverse array of CMU construction and block masonry work, including: foundation block walls, basement walls, garage and addition construction, retaining walls, structural load-bearing walls, crawl space foundations, masonry wall repair, block repair and rebuilding, block wall waterproofing and sealing, as well as block steps and entry structures.

One of the most important uses of CMU construction is in foundation construction. A properly built concrete masonry block foundation supports the entire structure above it, making precision and craftsmanship critical. We ensure every foundation includes: proper footing preparation, accurate leveling and layout, steel reinforcement (rebar where required), solid mortar joints for stability, and waterproofing and drainage considerations. A strong foundation is what everything else depends on, including effective masonry wall repair.
