Jonesboro Masonry & Concrete is a masonry contractor serving Jonesboro, AR, with brick repair, tuckpointing, and foundation repair work on homes throughout Craighead County. We have been working in Jonesboro since 2016 and understand what the clay soils, humid summers, and freeze-thaw winters here do to brick and mortar over time.
Jonesboro homes built in the 1950s through 1970s are at the age where mortar joints fail and individual bricks crack - especially after years of clay soil movement and freeze-thaw cycles. Our brick repair service addresses both surface damage and the water intrusion that typically follows.
When mortar joints in Jonesboro brick homes start to recede or crumble, water finds a path inside every wet season. Tuckpointing removes the failed material and packs in fresh mortar matched to your original wall, stopping moisture before it reaches the structure.
The expansive clay soil throughout Craighead County swells with spring rain and shrinks in dry summers - that movement cracks and shifts foundations over time. We assess and repair foundations on Jonesboro homes that are showing diagonal cracks, sticking doors, or uneven floors.
Chimneys on Jonesboro homes take more weather exposure than any other masonry surface - summer heat, winter ice storms, and the occasional severe storm all accelerate deterioration at the top of the stack. We handle crown repair, tuckpointing, and structural chimney work for homes throughout the city.
Jonesboro properties near Crowley's Ridge and in lower-lying neighborhoods often deal with grade changes and drainage challenges that erode yards over time. A properly built masonry retaining wall holds soil in place and can redirect water away from your home's foundation.
Older brick homes and commercial buildings near downtown Jonesboro often have significant weathering that goes beyond a simple repointing job. Masonry restoration combines cleaning, selective brick replacement, and waterproofing to bring aging structures back to stable, presentable condition.
Jonesboro sits on Crowley's Ridge, a narrow strip of elevated land above the flat Mississippi Delta. The wind-deposited loess soil on the ridge drains differently than the heavy clay soils in lower-lying areas of the city, which means foundation and drainage conditions can vary block by block. Add in northeast Arkansas's regular freeze-thaw cycles - temperatures drop below freezing multiple times each winter, then rebound - and you have one of the more demanding environments for brick and mortar in the region. Water gets into small gaps, freezes, expands, and widens those gaps a little more each season.
A large share of Jonesboro's housing stock was built between the 1950s and the 1980s. Brick ranch homes from that era were laid with softer lime-based mortars that are now 40 to 60 years old and past their expected lifespan. Using the wrong replacement mortar on these older homes - one that is harder than the original - can cause the bricks themselves to crack over time, which costs far more to fix than the original repair. Matching materials to the home's age and construction is something a contractor with local experience knows to do. One who does not work here regularly may not.
We have been working in Jonesboro since 2016 and regularly pull permits through the City of Jonesboro's building department for structural masonry and foundation work. Our crew works on homes across the city - from the older brick ranches in established neighborhoods near Arkansas State University to newer construction in subdivisions off Caraway Road on the west side. We know what the soil looks like, how the winters affect mortar, and which types of brick were common in which eras of local construction.

(870) 393-5650Jonesboro is the fourth-largest city in Arkansas and the undisputed hub of northeast Arkansas, with around 78,000 residents in Craighead County. It is home to Arkansas State University, two major hospital systems in St. Bernards and NEA Baptist, and a mix of established older neighborhoods near downtown and newer subdivisions extending west and south. The city's residential character ranges from brick ranch homes built in the postwar decades to newer slab-foundation construction off Caraway Road and Southwest Drive. Commercial corridors along Highland Drive and near the Mall at Turtle Creek area reflect steady growth that has made Jonesboro one of the more economically active mid-size cities in the state.
The older neighborhoods closest to downtown and Arkansas State University's campus have a high concentration of brick homes from the 1950s through 1970s - the same properties most likely to need tuckpointing, brick repair, or foundation work today. Areas near Craighead Forest Park on the south side of the city mix established tree-lined streets with properties sitting on mature lots where root systems and drainage grade are routine masonry considerations. We also serve communities north and east of Jonesboro, including Trumann along US-49, where homeowners regularly call us for the same types of brick and foundation work common throughout this part of Arkansas.
