Built on Experience, Not Promises
Three Generations of Masonry Experience
Masonry has been the family trade since 1993, passed down through three generations of the Johnson family.
Masonry Is Our Specialty
We're not trying to be everything to everyone. Masonry is what we do, and it's what we've focused on for decades.

A Trade Built by Hand, Passed Down Through Generations
Masonry is skilled work. Every brick laid, every joint pointed, every stone set — it's done with the kind of attention that comes from decades of doing it. That's the difference between masonry that lasts and masonry that doesn't.
Three generations of the Johnson family have built their livelihoods around this trade. When you work with Louis Masonry, you're working with people who know the craft — and who care about getting it right.

Charleston Masonry Questions, Answered
Straight answers to the questions Charleston-area homeowners and businesses ask most about brick, chimney, and commercial masonry work.
How do I know if my Charleston home needs tuckpointing or full brick replacement?
If mortar is crumbling, receding from the brick face, or you see gaps and loose units, tuckpointing usually solves it. Full brick replacement is needed when bricks themselves are cracked, spalling, or structurally failed. Louis Masonry assesses both on-site across the Charleston area and recommends the right scope.
Does Louis Masonry offer monthly payment plans or financing for masonry repairs?
Yes. Louis Masonry offers flexible financing through a soft-credit-check partner, with monthly payments as low as $89 and 0% down options available. Prequalification takes about 60 seconds and does not impact your credit score, so you can complete chimney, brick, or patio repairs now and pay over time.
Can Louis Masonry handle commercial brick and stone construction in South Carolina?
Yes. Louis Masonry is a residential and commercial masonry contractor serving South Carolina. Recent commercial projects include AutoZone, Baptist Hill Middle School, gas stations, and storage facilities — covering brick facades, CMU structural walls, storefronts, and full commercial build-outs across the Lowcountry.
What is the average cost of chimney repair in Charleston, SC?
Chimney repair costs in Charleston vary with scope: minor mortar repair and tuckpointing runs a few hundred dollars, while partial or full chimney rebuilds run several thousand. Louis Masonry provides a clear, itemized recommendation after an on-site assessment, and financing is available for larger repairs.
