Learn MoreTell us what you are seeing - cracked walls, sticking doors, water in the basement, whatever it is. We ask a few basic questions to come prepared. You do not need to know exactly what is wrong. We respond within 1 business day.
We visit your home, walk the problem area with you, and explain what we find in plain language. No pressure, no upsell. If structural work is needed, we handle the Kootenai County permit process before any work begins. You get a written estimate you can take time to review.
Our crew works methodically, cleans up each day, and completes the job on the timeline we committed to. For permitted work, a county inspector reviews the finished project. We walk you through everything when we are done so you know exactly what was repaired and what to watch for.
We are licensed through the Idaho Division of Building Safety and carry full liability and workers' compensation coverage. Every structural project is permitted and inspected through Kootenai County.
We come to your home, look at the actual problem, and give you a written estimate at no charge. We explain what is wrong, what needs to happen, and what can wait - in plain language.
We are a locally owned business headquartered in Post Falls, not a franchise or out-of-state company dispatching crews. We know Kootenai County's soil, weather, and building codes because we work here every day.
We respond to every inquiry within one business day and back our completed work with a written warranty. If something does not hold up after a repair, we come back and make it right.

"We had a bowing basement wall that got worse every spring. They came out, explained exactly what was causing it, and had it anchored within two days. The next winter came and went without it moving another inch. Finally feel good about our basement again."
- Kevin M., Post Falls, ID - Foundation repair
"The mortar on our chimney was crumbling pretty badly and we kept putting it off. They matched the new mortar color almost exactly to what was already there, so it does not look like a repair job at all. They also pointed out a loose cap we did not know about and fixed that same day."
- Sarah T., Coeur d'Alene, ID - Chimney repair
"We wanted a retaining wall along the back slope of our yard - about 40 feet. They gave us a written estimate the same week, pulled the permit themselves, and finished in four days. The wall looks solid and the yard drainage is a lot better now than it was before."
- Dan R., Liberty Lake, WA - Retaining wall construction

Post Falls winters create repeated freeze-thaw cycles that push water into small gaps, freeze it, expand the crack, then thaw - over and over all season. That is why cracks that look minor in October can be noticeably larger by April. Catching them before winter is almost always the cheaper path.
Both can cause it, but the entry point matters. If water is coming through a crack or joint in the foundation wall, that is a masonry issue - sealing it at the source stops the water without relying on a sump pump. A contractor can tell the difference during a free assessment. The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors provides homeowner guidance on reading foundation conditions.
Routine tuckpointing and cosmetic repairs generally do not. Structural work - foundation piers, retaining walls over a certain height, chimney rebuilds - does require a Kootenai County permit. A licensed contractor handles the permit process for you, and the county inspection that follows protects you when you eventually sell your home.
Poured concrete can crack from frost heave when installed without proper base preparation. Interlocking pavers flex with freeze-thaw movement and are easier to repair because individual units can be replaced without breaking up the whole surface. For driveways and walkways in Post Falls, a well-installed paver system generally outlasts poured concrete in this climate.
Late spring through early fall - typically April through October - is the right window. Fresh mortar needs to cure above freezing, and most contractors will not apply it once nighttime lows are consistently below 40 degrees. Scheduling in spring gets you ahead of the busy summer rush and gives repairs a full season to cure before the next winter.
The key question is whether they match the mortar strength to your existing masonry. Mortar that is too hard for older brick forces cracks into the brick faces rather than the joints - a much more expensive problem. Ask to see photos of completed jobs. The National Park Service Preservation Brief 2 covers mortar matching standards for masonry repair.

Small cracks cost less to fix now than after another Idaho winter. A crack that lets in water freezes, expands, and widens every season it is left alone. The gap between a $500 repair and a $5,000 one is usually just a few winters.
Replacing mortar joints (tuckpointing) is usually cosmetic and permit-free. When the brick or block itself needs to be replaced, or when any load-bearing wall is involved, that crosses into structural work requiring a county permit and inspection.
Those white chalky streaks mean water is moving through your masonry and leaving mineral deposits on the surface. The stain itself is harmless, but the water movement behind it is not - open mortar joints are usually the cause and the fix.
The Brick Industry Association offers detailed technical guidance on mortar types and masonry repair standards. When you are ready to talk about your specific project, call us at (208) 981-9130 or send a message.
Post Falls is one of the fastest-growing cities in Idaho, with a population that has grown from around 27,000 in 2010 to over 45,000 today, according to U.S. Census data. The city is built along the Spokane River, with parks like Q'emiln Park along the river corridor and newer subdivisions - like Prairie Falls and Copper Valley - spreading out toward the freeway. Whether your home is a few blocks from the river or in one of the newer neighborhoods on the east side, we work on properties all across Post Falls.
A large share of Post Falls homes were built during the 1990s and 2000s growth period, and many of them are now entering the age range where mortar, concrete flatwork, and foundations start showing real wear. The city is also home to major employers like Schweitzer Engineering Laboratories, which has helped bring a lot of working families and homeowners into the area. The City of Post Falls continues to grow fast, and with that growth comes more homeowners who care about keeping their properties in good shape.
The winters here are real - temperatures drop hard from December through February, and the freeze-thaw cycle every spring is the main reason masonry work is in constant demand in this area. Homes near the Spokane River and the older neighborhoods close to downtown along Falls Avenue tend to see more moisture-related damage, while the newer subdivisions further out deal more with frost heave and concrete cracking. Post Falls Concrete & Masonry serves all of it, and we have been working on homes here long enough to know what the local conditions do to masonry over time.
