Brick repointing, stonework, retaining walls, and masonry repairs built to last for generations. CBJ Home Improvement has served homeowners from Baltimore to Bel Air.
Concrete pavers give you a clean, durable outdoor surface that holds up through Maryland winters without cracking the way poured concrete does. We build paver patios and walkways throughout Baltimore County — from simple front walkways to full backyard patio installs. Proper base prep is what makes a paver job last, and it's where most of the work happens before the first paver goes down.
A retaining wall holds back soil, levels out a sloped yard, and stops erosion before it becomes a real problem. We build block, brick, and natural stone retaining walls across Baltimore County — sized and reinforced for the load they need to carry. Drainage behind the wall is just as important as the wall itself, and it's something we always address properly from the start.
When mortar joints crack or crumble, water gets behind the brick and that's where damage starts. Repointing replaces the failed mortar and seals everything back up. Homes over 30 years old in the Baltimore area often need it — especially chimneys, front stoops, and older rowhouse brick. We match the mortar color and profile so the repair blends into the existing wall.
An outdoor fireplace turns your backyard into a year-round space. We build custom brick and stone fireplaces for patios across Baltimore County — wood-burning and gas, matched to the existing masonry on your home or built as a standalone feature. Every fireplace starts with a proper footing and is built to handle Maryland's freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or settling.
Your chimney takes the worst of Maryland's weather — heat, rain, ice, and freeze-thaw cycling all year long. Crumbling mortar, cracked bricks, a failed crown, bad flashing, or a missing cap are all problems we see regularly. We handle chimney repointing, crown repair and rebuild, flashing repair, and cap replacement across Baltimore County. Most chimney problems don't need a full rebuild — they need the right targeted repair done correctly.
Fill out the form and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. No pressure, no obligation — just a real conversation about your masonry project.
