Quality Wellington Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor working in Greenacres, FL, from our base in Wellington. We repair cracked block, brick and joints, and build walls, paver driveways and walkways that suit the house and the lot.
Greenacres sits a short drive east of us in Wellington. On our jobs there, it's mostly neighborhoods of single-story block-and-stucco houses, with townhouse and condo communities mixed in and shops along the main roads. A lot of those houses have been standing for decades, so the calls are often about a crack in a garden wall, a walkway that's settled or a driveway that's ready to be redone, much like the calls we get next door in Palm Springs.
Lots here tend to be compact, with tight side yards and walls close to the neighbors, so we plan where the block, pavers and mixer go before we start, and on older homes we match new work to what's already there instead of tearing out what's still sound.
When a footing settles and cracks show up in your block walls, foundation repair starts with finding why it moved, then fixing just that.
Explore serviceChimney repair covers loose brick, cracked crowns and worn joints at the top of the stack, and we check what's behind the damage before we price it.
Explore serviceTuckpointing means grinding out worn mortar joints and packing new mortar in, finished to match, so the brick face itself stays as it is.
Explore serviceIf a few bricks are cracked or flaking at the face, brick repair swaps those out for a close match and leaves the sound ones alone.
Explore serviceWe build driveway pavers on a compacted base sized for the cars it carries, and the plan turns on the driveway's width, slope and where water runs.
Explore serviceFor a raised planter bed or a grade change by the patio, retaining wall construction is planned around the height, the drainage behind it and its footing.
Explore serviceMasonry restoration brings an older wall, column or entry back to sound shape, and we decide joint by joint what needs work instead of redoing it all.
Explore serviceWant a fireplace inside or out on the patio? We plan fireplace installation around the firebox, the chimney or vent route and the base it sits on.
Explore serviceStone veneer installation puts a thin layer of real or manufactured stone over block or stucco, and how the wall underneath is prepped decides how well it holds.
Explore servicePrivacy and boundary walls are usually block around here. With concrete block walls, the footing, the steel and grout inside the cells, and the stucco finish set the plan.
Explore serviceWith foundation block wall installation, we lay the low block wall an addition sits on, level and square on its footing, so everything above stays true.
Explore serviceOutdoor kitchen masonry is the block or stone base for your grill, counter and sink, built around the appliances you've picked and the slab under it.
Explore serviceWe handle walkway construction from the driveway to the front door or around to the pool, setting the width and slope so it drains and walks easy.
Explore serviceIf you'd like brick rather than stucco, brick wall installation means picking the brick and the pattern first, then building on a footing sized for the wall's height.
Explore serviceStone masonry covers natural stone laid in mortar for walls, steps and columns, and the stone you choose drives how our crew cuts and fits each piece.
Explore serviceWhen only a few joints have cracked or dropped out, brick pointing fills those in with matching mortar, a small fix that keeps water out of the wall.
Explore serviceIn Greenacres, permits come from the city's Building Division, which has a permits line at 561-642-2052, and when your job needs one, the city's review and inspections usually set the schedule more than our crew does. Before you hire anyone, you can check their state license with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation, and a business located inside city limits also needs the city's Business Tax Receipt, even if it already holds a Palm Beach County one. We're licensed and insured, and when a job calls for a permit, we apply for it and set up the inspections, and I'll go over it with you at the estimate.
We do the same kind of work in Westgate and Royal Palm Beach, and the price here turns on the same things, which are the size of the work, how much old block or brick has to come out, how easy it is to get material to the spot and the block, brick, stone or pavers you pick. Besides the permit, what can stretch a schedule is what we find once old joints or block are opened up. I'll come out, look at it and write your estimate myself, and our crew does the work.
Tell us about the crack you're seeing or the wall, driveway or walkway you have in mind, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I'll come out to your Greenacres home, look at the job and write the estimate myself, free and with no obligation, and if you decide to go ahead, our crew does the work.
(561) 268-0510You apply online through the city's MGO permit system, since Greenacres no longer takes permit applications by email. Homeowners and contractors both start their permits there. When we're doing your job and it needs a permit, we file it for you.
Yes, if you own a one-family or two-family home and live in it, you can act as your own contractor, with certain restrictions. Those restrictions are set out in the city's Owner-Builder Affidavit and Disclosure Statement, which you fill out, have notarized and turn in with your permit application. If you're weighing it, I'm glad to walk through what the job involves at the estimate so you can decide.
The state licenses certified contractors, and anyone seeking that license has to pass a state certification exam first. Applicants for a certified building contractor license also have to attest that they carry public liability and property damage insurance, and get workers' comp or an exemption within 30 days of the license being issued. It's fair to ask any contractor about their license and coverage, us included.
We're based in Wellington and work in many cities around it. These are some that have their own page, and if your city isn't listed, call and ask.
Catching a cracked joint or loose block early usually keeps the repair small, so call (561) 268-0510 or send the form while it's still a simple fix.
If you've got a question about a wall, a crack or a permit at your Greenacres home, ask, and I'll give you a plain answer.
