Mountain Masonry is a family-owned and operated masonry construction company specializing in historic masonry preservation, restoration, and repair throughout Colorado and the surrounding region. With three generations of experience since 1979, we are committed to preserving the craftsmanship, character, and structural integrity of historic buildings and masonry structures.

Our work focuses on the careful restoration of brick, stone, terra cotta, and historic mortar, using appropriate materials and time-tested techniques that respect the original construction. We understand that historic masonry requires a different level of knowledge and attention to detail than modern construction—and we take pride in doing that work the right way.

In addition to preservation work, we have extensive experience in residential, commercial, industrial, and governmental masonry projects. We provide masonry repair, restoration, tuckpointing, façade restoration, masonry waterproofing, and select new construction when needed. Our team is also capable of producing shop drawings and 3D models to support efficient and accurate project execution. We offer free estimates for all masonry projects.

Building Integrated Modeling

3D Model of the brick layout for a public school building detailing placement and quantity of bricks being usedSince 1979, Mountain Masonry has completed many projects including but not limited to masonry work on; small repairs, custom fireplaces, new brick or stone homes, fences, industrial buildings, schools, institutional buildings, and commercial masonry projects of various sizes.

Currently 65% of our work is in new commercial construction involving brick, CMU, and stone, 30% of our work is in Historic Restoration of masonry, and 5% of our work is on small residential projects involving repairs, brick, CMU, and stone.


Computer Aided Design | 3D Modeling | Shop Drawings

In commercial masonry construction while many of our competitors often struggle to use a computer, we are currently setting the standard in the use of Building Integrated Modeling or "BIM". BIM is a type of software that has begun to replace the use of Computer Aided Design or CAD, in building design and construction.

For years other trades such as HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical have used either CAD to create coordination drawings, or more recently BIM to create coordination models that are used to prevent running into conflicts or other issues when they are installing their materials. In many cases their materials are imbedded in, or penetrate through the walls we build.

We are one of few masonry contractors nationwide that are capable of creating our own modeling and becoming part of this process. This makes us more efficient, prevents mistakes, and creates a better final product. In addition to modeling for coordination, we use BIM from the very beginning of a project.

We build a model during the estimating process to gain an extremely accurate quantity of materials. If we are awarded the project our model is converted into shop drawings that we use to order materials, schedule deliveries and coordinate with other trades.
