Maya RichardsonI’m the kind of architect who prefers classic over modern designs. I’ve always admired brick streets and stone facades—even better if they’re in Columbus.
When my friend told me about an inherited historic house with a chimney and all, I was very excited and visited him immediately. But when his retaining wall started leaning, my admiration quickly turned into urgency—he should fix this ASAP.
I wasted no time and helped him find reliable masonry contractors in Columbus who build for longevity—not shortcuts. If your property also needs proper restoration, here are the best ones we considered.
How much do masonry contractors charge in Columbus?
Masonry contractors in Columbus typically charge between $250 and $1,200 for repairs, with specialized projects like chimney rebuilding often exceeding $5,000. The final cost depends on the labor rates, accessibility, and materials.
1. Utmost Renovations
Address: 10175 US-62, Orient
Contact Details:
- +1 614 237 5388
- [email protected]
Business Hours:
- Mon-Fri: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Sat-Sun: Closed
Utmost Renovations stands out as a two-generation family business in which the owners work directly on projects—unlike larger firms, where clients deal with coordinators.
They were founded in 1999, but their technicians hold more than 150 years of combined experience in masonry repair and consulting.
Their services include brick and stone replacement, masonry wall rebuilding, cleaning and sealing, and historic masonry and stone restoration.
Conveniently, these services cover everything from small repairs to full building projects for both residential and commercial properties.
We also appreciate that the staff emphasizes competitive rates that match Columbus’s averages. This can range from $9 to $14 per sq ft for repairs and walls, already covering labor, top-tier materials, site prep, cleanup, and owner supervision.
But due to their small family team structure, a client we spoke with mentioned getting slower responses on occasion.
Their professionalism and high-quality masonry really stood out
“I had an excellent experience with Mark, Van, Mac, and the entire team. Their professionalism and high-quality masonry work really stood out. They repaired and sealed joints, caulked around windows and steps, tuckpointed, replaced and stained damaged bricks, and refreshed the chimney and foundation, beautifully restoring and protecting my historic home in German Village. They kept me updated throughout the process, explained each step, and ensured we were always on the same page. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with this reliable, professional team again.”

Great people, workmanship, and prices
“Great people, great workmanship, and fair prices. I used another company previously and wish I’d found Utmost earlier. Mark is a great guy, running a family business and will make sure the the project is done right. Will use for my future projects.”

2. Mark Monnette Masonry
Contact Details:
- +1 614 798 0788

Business Hours:
- Daily: 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Mark Monnette Masonry has served the Columbus area since 1985. We appreciate that owner Mark Monnette personally discusses each project to ensure a precise match to customer needs.
They offer a wide range of services for residential and commercial projects. It includes repairs to stone, brick, and concrete for homes, as well as general masonry work.
These are handy for most small-to-medium jobs, and someone we spoke with noted that the crew always believes no job is too small.
While the company doesn’t list prices online, its staff provides free quotes, making it easy for customers to compare prices immediately.
The staff accepts both cash and checks too. However, we feel younger clients relying on apps like Venmo or PayPal might feel restricted.
For any inquiries, you may contact them by phone for a quick response. It’s great for us that they are reachable every day, anyway.
Great attention to detail, even for a small job
“Mark Monnette masonry is simply the best. What I loved about Mark was how much attention to detail he paid even though he was doing a very small job for us. I also loved his pricing. Other people wanted to replace the entire sidewalk but when he saw that he could patch the sidewalk and make it look brand new and save us a lot of money we loved that idea. We are really pleased with the work he did on our sidewalk and are really pleased with his prices. I’ve uploaded a before and after picture to show you why we were so pleased.”

Friendly, timely, and very professional
“I highly recommend Mark. It is difficult to find contractors willing to do small jobs. Mark was friendly, timely, and very professional. He did great work tuck pointing the brick veneer at my residence….all at a reasonable cost.”

3. Alberto Masonry and Home Improvement
Address: 826 Joyful St
Contact Details:
- +1 614 902 7148
- [email protected]
Business Hours:
- Mon-Fri: 8:00 am – 7:00 pm
- Sat: 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Sun: Closed
Established in 2003, Alberto Masonry and Home Improvement brings over 20 years of licensed, insured work to Columbus homes and businesses within 90 miles. They combine masonry with full-home upgrades, such as countertops and roofing.
Additionally, we appreciate their use of premium granite, quartz, and stone. These typically hold up better against Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles and daily wear. Plus, they often last 20 to 50 years with less cracking or fading than cheaper brick or concrete, and they are more durable.
With these high-quality materials, they can cover masonry repairs in areas such as sidewalks, patios, and chimneys. The team also handles home upgrades, including roofing, shower tiles, and siding, saving people from having to hire multiple contractors.
Many clients appreciate the free estimates and the no-upfront-fee policy. The company even accepts cash, checks, and Zelle (a US peer-to-peer payment service) for added convenience.
However, one individual we interviewed reported delays due to a permit requirement. The team had to pause work mid-project to sort out some city-approvals.
Courteous, on time, and know what they are doing
“Juan and Ceasar were great! If you need someone to do excellent work at a fair price call these guys. They are curtious, on time and know what they are doing. And cleaned up the job site like they were never there. I recommend them highly!”
-Mark Donahue, Google Review
Kept me up to date, responsive, and respectful
“I can’t say enough good things about this company and specifically Juan who I worked with throughout the project. They were very well priced and most importantly the care they took with the project was excellent. We had to have brick work redone on our home that would pass city inspection as well as satisfy the historical commission and they handled both with ease making sure the brick work matched the rest of the home seamlessly. Juan kept me up to date at all times and was responsive and respectful. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone in the area.”

4. Steve Parker Masonry
Address: 108 E Dublin Granville Rd, Worthington
Contact Details:
- +1 614 260 7513
Steve Parker Masonry has operated as a third-generation family business specializing in stone, brick, and block work in Ohio since 1894. Owner Steve Parker handles every detail personally, ensuring no corners are cut.
Their core offerings include stone work, brick repair, pavers for patios/driveways, block builds, and full masonry fixes.
What we like most about them, though, is their confidence in using traditional tools suited to Ohio freezes. They don’t endorse any flashy tech, and we reckon that’s been working for them so far.
And while there are no publicly available fee ranges, they already boast master-level craftsmanship. This is why we think they are likely in the mid-to-high Columbus price range.
Another thing to note is that they don’t list their operating hours online, so we believe their crew may not always be available to address urgent needs.
Great to work with, very polite and knowledgeable
“Steve Parker Masonry did a fantastic job refurnishing our outdoor C-shaped sandstone barbeque built in the 1960’s! The stones in the barbeque had collapsed to the inside in multiple spots and the concrete top was in poor shape. Steve Parker recognized the stone and bought matching stone, filled the hollow space between the stone walls with concrete blocks to give it more structural integrity, rebuilt the damaged sections of the walls, filled cracks, power washed, and sealed the barbeque. It looks great! Multiple friends and family and even the postal carrier have commented on how good it looks! We are now able to use it again with confidence. Steve was great to work with—very polite and very knowledgeable in his field! I would highly recommend Steve Parker Masonry!”
-Kelly Gaddis, Google Review
Handled it with professionalism from start to finish
“Steve and his team did an outstanding job on my backyard retaining wall and stone steps. The project was fairly complex and required thoughtful planning, and Steve handled it with professionalism from start to finish. He kept me clearly updated throughout the process, was easy to work with, and the final result exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely use his services again.”

5. Daniels Masonry Restoration
Contact Details:
- +1 614 496 2508
- [email protected]
Business Hours:
- Mon-Fri: 8:00 am – 6:00 pm
- Sat-Sun: Closed
Daniels Masonry Restoration was founded in 2015 and is backed by owner Tom Daniel’s over 29 years of hands-on masonry repair experience in central Ohio.
The team focuses on licensed and insured work for both homes and businesses, offering custom fixes that match exact needs. In our view, this is their edge above other cookie-cutter companies.
We also believe they are highly capable, since they can handle a broad range of services. Notable services include brick, stone, and chimney repairs—rebuilding, tuckpointing, replacements, and power washing.
Their one-year satisfaction guarantee also backs every project, which we think demonstrates their confidence.
Regarding fees, they emphasize high-quality work at affordable rates and offer free estimates. They likely take on jobs ranging from $5,000 to $50,000, depending on the size of the job.
Just one thing to consider, though: their South Columbus location adds drive time for jobs on the north side. It’s best to manage your expectations for extra charges or longer wait times if your location isn’t nearby.
Fantastic job within my budget and completed on time
“Tom Daniels’ crew recently completed work on my 1920 brick home, patching and filling missing mortar on 3 sides of the house – in some areas large chunks missing. The main challenge was matching the existing mortar color which was a deep red — and they did a fantastic job doing so. When they were finished it’s almost impossible to tell where the new mortar was placed. They also worked within my budget and completed on time. They were here at 8:30am each day and cleaned up when they left. I would highly recommend their services to anyone, especially if trying to keep the historical integrity of the house.”
-Mike Miller, Google Review
Worked quickly and were upfront and honest
“I worked primarily with Trisha and Tom. I’m selling my house and had a Request to Remedy with a very short window to get the work completed. They worked quickly, within my timeline, and were upfront and honest about the work needing done. Fantastic, low stress experience during a very very busy part of my life! Would recommend”
