Masonry Built for Coastal Conditions
Port Arthur sits just miles from the Gulf, which means salt air constantly attacks your masonry. We see it everywhere from Twin City Highway to Lakeshore Drive. That salty moisture penetrates brick and mortar, causing efflorescence (those white stains), spalling, and accelerated deterioration. Properties near Pleasure Island or along Sabine Lake deal with even more intense exposure. Your masonry needs special protection that standard contractors often skip.
We use mortars and sealers specifically designed for coastal environments. These materials resist salt penetration and allow moisture to escape without trapping it inside your masonry. This is critical work that separates a professional masonry contractor from someone who doesn't understand Port Arthur's unique coastal challenges. Your investment deserves materials and techniques that actually work in this environment.
Storm-Resistant Masonry Solutions
Anyone in Port Arthur remembers Rita and Ike. Tropical storms and hurricanes are facts of life here, which is why your masonry construction must be engineered for high winds and flooding. We reinforce retaining walls with proper drainage and steel reinforcement. Our chimney rebuilding includes hurricane straps and proper flashing that won't blow off when winds hit 100 mph. These details matter when the next big storm rolls through.
The foundation waterproofing we install also accounts for potential flooding. Port Arthur's low elevation means water can rise quickly during heavy rain or storm surge. We build drainage systems that handle extreme water volume and use waterproofing membranes rated for submersion. This level of preparation keeps your home protected when weather gets serious.
Our Process
Comprehensive Property Assessment
We start by inspecting your property in person. This means looking at your masonry's current condition, checking for salt damage and moisture intrusion, and assessing how coastal exposure affects your specific location. If you're near the refineries along Highway 87 or closer to the marinas off Lakeshore, we factor in those environmental conditions. You'll receive a detailed written estimate that breaks down exactly what work is needed, why it's necessary, and how much it costs.

Port Arthur's water table sits just a few feet below ground in many areas. When you dig for foundation work or retaining walls, you often hit water before you reach stable soil. This creates major challenges for masonry construction that requires deep footings. We handle this by using specialized drainage systems, compacted aggregate bases, and in some cases, helical piers that extend down to load-bearing strata. These solutions aren't cheap, but they're necessary to build masonry that doesn't settle or shift over time.
The soil itself is heavy clay that expands when wet and contracts when dry. This constant movement stresses masonry foundations and causes cracks. That's why proper site preparation and drainage matter so much here in Port Arthur. We don't just pour a footing and hope for the best. We engineer solutions based on soil conditions, water table depth, and your specific property characteristics. This is the difference between masonry that lasts decades and work that fails within years.
