Building Near the Sabine River
Properties in Orange face unique challenges from Sabine River flooding and high groundwater levels. Neighborhoods along Green Avenue and Division Street know this well. When the river rises during heavy spring rains or tropical weather, basements flood and foundations crack from hydrostatic pressure. Your masonry work needs proper waterproofing and drainage design to handle these recurring conditions. We don't just patch problems. We engineer solutions that address the root causes.
We've worked on countless Orange masonry projects where previous contractors installed retaining walls without adequate weep holes or drainage systems. Those walls failed within years because trapped water built up pressure and pushed them over. Our approach includes proper base preparation, drainage tiles, and engineering that accounts for Orange's water table depth and seasonal fluctuations. This is how professional retaining wall installation should be done.
Preserving Orange's Historic Character
Downtown Orange features beautiful historic homes and buildings from the early 1900s. These structures have unique brick colors and mortar mixes that require expert matching for proper restoration. When we handle brick restoration work on Front Street or near the Heritage House Museum, we take time to analyze the original materials and create custom mortar blends that match in color, texture, and strength. This preserves the historic integrity while ensuring structural soundness.
Many Orange homeowners want to maintain their property's historic charm while upgrading functionality. We understand that balance. Your century-old chimney might need complete rebuilding inside while preserving the original brick exterior. Your settling front steps require structural reinforcement that isn't visible from the street. We've completed dozens of these sensitive restoration projects where maintaining Orange's architectural heritage matters as much as fixing structural problems.
Our Process
Thorough On-Site Evaluation
We visit your Orange property to assess your masonry needs in person. This includes examining existing damage, testing structural integrity, checking for water intrusion, and understanding how your property's location affects masonry performance. If you're near the river or in an older neighborhood with mature trees, those factors influence our recommendations. You receive a detailed written estimate that explains what work is needed, why it matters, and what it costs. No pressure tactics, just honest professional advice.

Orange sits on heavy clay soil that expands significantly when wet and shrinks when dry. This constant movement creates stress on foundations, retaining walls, and paved surfaces. During wet spring months, your soil swells and pushes against foundation walls. In summer drought conditions, it contracts and leaves gaps under footings. This cycle repeats year after year, causing cracks and settlement in masonry that wasn't properly engineered for these conditions.
We account for soil movement in every project. Foundation repairs include proper reinforcement and waterproofing. Retaining walls get engineered drainage systems that prevent water buildup behind the wall. Patio and walkway installations start with compacted aggregate bases that remain stable despite soil movement underneath. These engineering details add cost upfront but save you thousands in future repairs. Orange residents need masonry contractors who understand local soil conditions, not someone following a generic playbook.
