What We Build

Masonry done the way it was meant to be

From a single chimney repair to a full outdoor living space, every project is built by hand with natural stone, brick, and decades of know-how.

Fireplaces & Mantels

Hand-cut stone and cast-stone fireplaces, surrounds, and mantels, indoor and out, including Isokern installs.

Chimneys & Restoration

Chimney repair, tuckpointing, sealing, inspections, and brick restoration that brings tired masonry back to life.

Outdoor Living

Patios, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, pizza ovens, and fountains that turn a backyard into a destination.

Stone & Brick Veneer

Full and thin stone veneer, limestone panels, and wainscot that give any wall the weight of real stone.

Retaining Walls & Hardscape

Engineered stone retaining walls, pavers, paver pedestal systems, and roof decks built to hold for decades.

Fountains & Water Features

Custom stone fountains and water features that become the centerpiece of a garden or courtyard.

Stairs, Coping & Pavers

Stone and brick stairs, pool coping, interior stone floors, and pre-cast installation, set true and level.

Wine Cellars & Specialty

Brick and stone wine cellars, fireplace faces, surrounds, and bespoke stonework for one-of-a-kind spaces.

The Petty Difference

A family name set in stone

Petty Masonry began with Arthur Petty in 1954 and has been built, joint by joint, by the family ever since. Today the same hands-on standard runs through every crew, with more than 80 years of combined masonry experience on the wall.

We work in natural stone and brick because they last. Done right, masonry is the part of a home that outlives everything around it, and that is the only way we know how to build it.

Restoration

We bring old masonry back to life

Cracked mortar, leaning chimneys, and weathered stone are our specialty. We restore failing masonry to structural and visual health, matching original materials so the repair disappears. Ask us for a free chimney inspection.
