Masonry is among the oldest and most trusted building methods in the construction industry, and at Dollar Contracting we carry that legacy forward with modern precision and craftsmanship. We specialize in brick, block, and natural stone construction for residential and commercial projects.
Whether you need a load-bearing block wall for a new commercial building, an elegant stone veneer facade for your home, or detailed tuckpointing to restore aging brickwork, our masons bring decades of hands-on experience to every project.
We handle historic restoration too — matching original materials, replicating mortar profiles, and meeting preservation standards while still satisfying modern structural requirements. Fireplaces, garden retaining walls, chimneys, and feature walls all fall within our scope.
