Masonry Contractor in Wichita Falls, TX - Repairs That Match Your Brick
Bedrock Wichita Falls Concrete & Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Wichita Falls, TX. We repair brick, stone, chimneys and foundations here, and build walls, walkways and outdoor kitchens that sit right with your house.
Wichita Falls houses and the masonry work they need
Wichita Falls is home base for us, and most of our calls here come from somebody whose neighbor told them about us. The work runs from a crumbling brick mailbox or a loose front step to chimneys, retaining walls and foundation repair. It lands on older brick houses with decades on them as often as on newer homes getting their first outdoor kitchen or paver drive. I started out doing those small fixes for neighbors on weekends, and I still give a single step the same attention as a big build.
We do the same work up the road in Burkburnett and over in Iowa Park. Here in the city, the age of the house decides most of the job, because older brick and mortar have to be matched by eye, while a newer home usually means building from scratch.
What we see on Wichita Falls houses
Here's what I run into on house after house around Wichita Falls, and why each one changes how we go about the work and what it ends up costing.
Plenty of brick houses here have aged for decades, so the real work in a repair is matching the old brick and mortar color.
When a house settles, mortar usually cracks first in a stair-step line, so we look at the foundation before patching the brick above it.
Mortar joints wear out before the brick does, and refilling worn joints in time usually saves you from replacing bricks later.
Price mostly follows how much brick, stone or block is involved, how hard the color match is and how easy the spot is to reach.
The schedule usually turns on finding matching material and, when the job needs one, getting the city permit and inspections lined up.
I come out to look at every job myself and give the estimate, so you hear what your house needs from the person who'll be working on it.
Where we work in and around Wichita Falls
We're based in Wichita Falls and work across the city and the cities around it, including Burkburnett and Iowa Park, doing the same brick, stone and concrete work in each one.
Masonry work we do in Wichita Falls
Foundation repair
When stair-step cracks show up in your brick or doors start sticking, we check the foundation first, because patching brick over a moving foundation usually won't hold.
Chimney repair
Loose bricks, washed-out joints or a cracked concrete cap on top let water into a chimney, so we rebuild what's failing and match the brick below.
Tuckpointing
On older brick walls where the mortar has gone sandy or sunk back, we grind out the worn joints and refill them in a color that matches.
Brick repair
Single cracked or loose bricks can usually come out alone, and we hunt down a replacement that matches closely enough to hide the patch.
Driveway pavers
If your concrete driveway is cracked and heaved, pavers set on a packed base give you a drive where one broken piece can be lifted and replaced.
Retaining wall construction
When a sloped yard keeps washing out, a retaining wall holds the soil in place, and we build drainage behind it so water doesn't build up against it.
Masonry restoration
For older brick and stone that's worn all over, we clean it, refill tired joints and swap out damaged pieces so the house keeps its original look.
Fireplace installation
When you want a fireplace indoors or on the patio, we build the firebox and surround in brick or stone that suits the rest of the house.
Stone veneer installation
Thin stone over a plain block wall, a column or a fireplace front gives you the look of stone without the weight of a full stone wall.
Concrete block walls
For a sturdy privacy wall, a garden wall or a base for something heavier, we lay concrete block on a poured footing so it stays straight.
Foundation block wall installation
When an addition, a garage or a crawlspace needs a block foundation wall, we lay it on a footing sized for the load it will carry.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
If you cook outside a lot, we build the grill island, counters and bar in brick, block or stone, laid out around how you actually use the space.
Walkway construction
When the path to your front door has sunk or cracked into a trip hazard, we rebuild it in brick, stone or pavers on a packed base.
Brick wall installation
For a new garden wall, mailbox or drive column, we lay brick picked to match your house so the new piece looks like it was always there.
Stone masonry
Natural stone suits steps, low walls and planters, and we fit each piece by hand so the joints stay tight and the wall sits solid.
Brick pointing
When only a few joints have cracked or crumbled, pointing just those spots in matching mortar keeps water out without redoing the whole wall.

Wichita Falls masonry questions we hear most
Who issues building permits for masonry work in Wichita Falls?
The city's Building Inspections division issues permits for construction work in Wichita Falls and inspects the work against building code requirements. Construction in the city has to follow City Codes and carry the correct permits and licenses. When your job calls for a city permit, we take care of the application and line up the inspections, and we'll go over it with you at the estimate.
Do contractors need a city license to work in Wichita Falls?
Yes, the Building Inspections division licenses and registers contractors who work in the city. Its forms include a contractor's license application, a contractor registration form and Code Compliance Bond forms at $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000. We're fully licensed and insured.
How do I get approval to build on a floodplain lot in Wichita Falls?
You apply for a Floodplain Development Permit, which the city lists under Public Works for development in floodplain areas. If your lot is in one, tell me when I come out, and we'll handle that application the same way we handle any other city permit.
How do zoning rules in Wichita Falls affect where I can build a wall or outdoor kitchen?
Your zone sets the limits, because most every parcel in the city falls under one of 14 primary zones, and each one sets requirements such as building setbacks and height limits. Zones run from Single-Family Residential to General Commercial, each with its own rules. We'll look at where your new wall or outdoor kitchen sits on the lot when I'm out there.
Does the City of Wichita Falls enforce neighborhood deed restrictions?
No, deed restrictions are enforced privately through the courts, not by the city. They're usually filed with Wichita County under your subdivision's name, so it's worth reading yours before you plan a new wall, column or outdoor kitchen.
How much does brick repair cost in Wichita Falls?
The cost comes down to the size of the repair, and you'll get your own number once I've looked at your house in person. Pointing a few cracked joints costs far less than tearing out and re-laying a section of wall, and an older house can add cost when matching brick takes some hunting. If the job turns out smaller than you feared, I'll tell you so.
