"They came out within two days of my call and had a written estimate in hand by the end of the visit. The foundation work took three days and my doors have been opening and closing without sticking for the first time in years. They pulled the permit, too - I did not have to ask."
Robert K., Longview - Foundation repair
"I noticed the mortar on my chimney was crumbling badly after last winter. The crew matched the color of the original mortar well enough that you cannot tell where the repair is. They finished in one day and showed me the work before they left so I could see exactly what was done."
Sandra M., Marshall - Tuckpointing
"We had a section of brick near our garage that had shifted and was letting water into the wall. They found the source of the problem, not just the visible crack. The repair has held through two rainy seasons without any sign of trouble. Worth every dollar."

Longview sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks during dry spells - that constant movement pushes and pulls on concrete slabs every year. Homes built before the 1990s are most at risk because older construction methods did not account for how dramatically this soil moves. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension explains expansive soils and why they are uniquely challenging for homeowners in this region.
Longview averages around 47 inches of rain per year - well above the national average. That moisture works into mortar joints and accelerates breakdown, especially on older homes. Water is the single biggest enemy of brick masonry, and our wet winters give it plenty of opportunity to cause damage.
Yes. When water has already seeped into cracked mortar and the temperature drops below freezing, that water expands and widens the crack. Longview does not freeze often, but when it does - as it did in February 2021 - the damage to masonry that already had small cracks can be significant.
Large trees within 20 feet of a foundation draw moisture from the surrounding soil, accelerating the drying and shrinkage cycle on one side of your home. Longview's mature pine and oak canopy is beautiful, but root activity is a real contributing factor in many of the foundation issues we see across the city.
Spring and early fall give the most reliable conditions for mortar curing in East Texas. Summer heat can cause fresh mortar to cure too fast and crack. Fall repairs seal open joints before the first freeze. That said, urgent repairs should not wait for the ideal season.
Stair-step cracks in brick, doors that stick or refuse to latch, floors that slope underfoot, and white chalky staining on exterior brick are all signs of active movement or water intrusion. In Longview's clay soil environment, these symptoms tend to get worse rather than stabilize on their own.

The Brick Industry Association publishes technical guidance on masonry maintenance that is useful for any homeowner who wants to understand what they are looking at before a contractor visit.
Active cracks that are still growing, open mortar joints that let in water, and any foundation movement should not wait. Stable hairline cracks that have not changed in six months are lower urgency - but worth monitoring.
Not always. Routine tuckpointing and brick replacement are typically maintenance and do not require a permit in Longview. Structural repairs - including foundation work and load-bearing wall repair - do. Ask before work starts.
They should remove old mortar to a proper depth before applying new material - not skim over the surface. New mortar should sit slightly recessed from the brick face, match the color of the original joints, and cure without cracking.
If you are not sure what you are looking at or whether it is urgent, call us at (430) 267-1978 and we will help you figure it out - no charge for the conversation.
Longview is the largest city in Gregg County and a regional hub for East Texas, with around 82,000 residents and a housing stock built primarily between the 1950s and 1980s. It sits about 120 miles east of Dallas, surrounded by the Piney Woods. You can read more about the city at Longview, Texas on Wikipedia and check demographic data directly at the U.S. Census Bureau. The brick ranch homes and traditional two-story houses that define neighborhoods like Pine Tree and Forest Hills are built on concrete slab foundations that sit on the region's challenging clay soils.
The city is home to the Longview Arboretum and Nature Center, a 42-acre public garden used by residents year-round, and the Maude Cobb Activity and Convention Center, a well-known community landmark. The Piney Woods setting means large lots with mature pine and oak trees are common - and those trees are a real contributing factor in the root intrusion and soil moisture issues we see on foundation and masonry jobs across the city.
Longview averages around 47 inches of rain per year, and the area gets hard freezes several times each winter. That combination of heavy moisture and occasional freeze events is what makes masonry maintenance here more demanding than in drier parts of Texas. We work on homes and properties all across Longview and Gregg County - from neighborhoods near downtown to newer subdivisions on the south side of town.
