Enhance the beauty, durability, and value of your property with professional brick masonry services from Innovation Asphalt & Patios. Serving Seattle, Bellevue, and surrounding areas, we specialize in constructing and restoring brick walls, facades, and structural elements for both residential and commercial clients

Key Features and Benefits

Durability and Longevity

Brick masonry structures are renowned for their exceptional durability. When constructed with high-quality, well-burnt, and uniform bricks, these walls can withstand the test of time, weathering, and pests, often outlasting other building materials with minimal maintenance

Energy Efficiency

Bricks have a high thermal mass, meaning they absorb and store heat efficiently. This property helps regulate indoor temperatures, keeping interiors cooler in summer and warmer in winter, which leads to reduced energy consumption and cost savings for heating and cooling

Fire Resistance

One of the inherent advantages of brick masonry is its fire safety. Bricks do not burn or emit toxic fumes, acting as a natural fire barrier and enhancing the overall safety of buildings

What Is Brick Masonry?

Brick masonry is the art and science of building structures using bricks, mortar, and supporting components. This skilled trade goes beyond aesthetics-brickwork provides essential protection from the elements, insulates your building, and forms a critical part of the structural envelope25. Whether you’re envisioning a classic brick wall, a striking facade, or a load-bearing structure, quality masonry ensures lasting performance and curb appeal.

Common Applications

Load-Bearing and Non-Load-Bearing Walls: Brick masonry is used for both structural (load-bearing) and partition (non-load-bearing) walls in buildings of all sizes. Facades and Architectural Features: Brick facades are popular for their beauty and resilience, often featuring decorative courses and arches for added style and support. Fireplaces, Chimneys, and Arches: The fire-resistant nature of brick makes it ideal for fireplaces and chimneys, while its versatility allows for the construction of arches and other architectural elements

Use only high-quality, uniform bricks and properly mixed mortar
Ensure even, fully filled joints and staggered brick placement for stability
Allow sufficient curing time before applying loads or finishes
Employ skilled masons for precise alignment, bonding, and finishing
