Quality Wellington Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Wellington, FL. In Palm Beach Gardens we repair cracked brick, block and stone, and we build the walls, driveways, walkways and outdoor kitchens homeowners have in mind.
Palm Beach Gardens is a short drive northeast of us. Most of the houses we walk around there are concrete block finished in stucco, with paver driveways, pool decks, entry columns and low garden walls. A call usually starts with a crack someone noticed along a wall, a paver that's dropped near the garage or a wall they'd like added, so the first thing I do is work out whether we're looking at surface wear or something moving underneath.
The ground is much like what we find in Jupiter and West Palm Beach. It's sandy and slow to drain after a summer storm, so we look at where the water goes before we set a block or lay a paver.
When a crack climbs from the slab or a door starts sticking, we check whether the house is still moving, since patching over movement only cracks again.
Explore serviceChimneys here take years of sun and storm rain, so we check the crown, the concrete top that sheds water, before choosing a repair or partial rebuild.
Explore serviceWe grind out mortar joints that have gone soft or sandy and refill them to match the old color, leaving the sound joints alone.
Explore serviceA spalled brick, one whose face has flaked off, can usually be cut out and replaced on its own once we find a close match.
Explore serviceWe lay new paver driveways from a packed base up, and when old pavers sink where cars turn, we fix the base instead of just resetting the top.
Explore serviceWhere a yard drops toward a lake or a low corner, a retaining wall holds the soil, and the drainage behind it matters as much as the blocks.
Explore serviceOlder brick and stone features, from entry columns to garden walls, can often be cleaned, repointed and repaired back to sound shape without tearing them down.
Explore serviceWant a fireplace out on the lanai? We plan the firebox, hearth and chimney around how you'll use it and where the smoke needs to go.
Explore serviceStone veneer is a thin layer of real or cast stone set over block or stucco, and how the wall underneath is prepped decides whether it stays put.
Explore serviceWe build block walls for privacy or to screen pool equipment, filling the hollow cores with steel and concrete where the height calls for it.
Explore serviceFor an addition or a raised floor, we lay the block foundation walls on the footing, keeping them level and square so everything above sits right.
Explore serviceAn outdoor kitchen on the patio starts as a block frame, so we plan the counter height, the grill opening and the utility runs before laying it.
Explore serviceA walkway from the driveway to the front door or around the pool needs a firm base and a slight slope so rain runs off instead of puddling.
Explore serviceWe build brick garden walls, planters and entry walls on a proper footing, picking a brick and mortar color that sits well with the house.
Explore serviceFor natural stone columns, seat walls or steps, we fit each piece by hand so the joints stay tight and the weight sits evenly.
Explore serviceShort runs of cracked or missing mortar can usually be pointed without redoing the whole wall, which keeps a small problem a small bill.
Explore serviceIn Palm Beach Gardens, the city's Building Department issues permits for most construction, remodeling and repair work. A permitted job shouldn't start until the permit is in hand, because work begun early can bring a stop-work order. The city also says most projects must be done by a licensed contractor. We're licensed and insured, and when your job calls for a permit, we apply for it, set up the inspections and go over it all with you at the estimate.
The price moves with what we find once we look closely: how far a crack runs and whether it's still moving, how much base has to come out under sunken pavers, the brick, block or stone you choose and how easy it is to get material to the back of the lot. The schedule turns on the permit, the inspections and the afternoon storms, since fresh mortar shouldn't take a downpour. I come out, look at the job and write the estimate myself, so you see the figure for your own house before you decide. That's the same way we work for homeowners down in Boynton Beach.
Tell us what you're seeing or what you'd like built, and we'll reply within one business day to set a visit. The estimate is free, done on site and comes with no obligation. You'll see what's wrong and what it takes to fix before you decide anything, or you can call (561) 268-0510.
(561) 268-0510Often, yes. The city requires a permit for most construction, remodeling and repair work, and its list includes structural changes and additions or alterations to buildings. For a freestanding wall or a paver job, the city's Building Services Division at 561-799-4210 can tell you what applies, and we'll go over it with you at the estimate.
New FEMA flood maps took effect in December 2024, and the city says they could affect residents who are now placed in higher-risk zones. If you're planning a wall, a driveway or work near the foundation, look up your zone first, and we'll plan the grading and drainage around it.
You can if you qualify as an owner-builder under Florida law, because the city lets qualifying owners apply for certain permits. You then take on full responsibility for the work and for meeting code. That's a lot to carry, so when you hire us, we apply for the permit as part of the job.
We're based in Wellington and work in many cities around it, including the ones listed here. If your city isn't on the list, call and ask, because there's a good chance we're already working nearby.
Call (561) 268-0510 or use the form, because one look usually tells you whether a crack is just surface wear or something that needs fixing now.
If something about your brick, block or pavers has you wondering, give us a call and I'll talk it through with you.
