Quality Wellington Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Wellington, FL. We repair block, brick and mortar and build walls, paver driveways and walkways for homeowners in the Village of Palm Springs.
Palm Springs is a small village, and most of what we work on here is single-story concrete block houses on modest lots, many of them a few decades old, with apartments and shops along the busier roads. It's a short drive from our base in Wellington, and the houses feel a lot like the ones we see in Greenacres.
On houses that age, the block itself is usually sound and the trouble shows up around the edges: a walkway that's settled, a garden wall with a crack running through the joints, a patio slab tipping toward the house. The ground here is flat and sandy, so most of our work comes down to a firm base under the masonry and somewhere for the water to go.
When a crack opens along your slab edge or block foundation wall, we find what moved first, then repair only the block and joints that need it.
Explore serviceOlder chimneys here take years of sun and storms, so we check the concrete top, the flue cap and the mortar joints before deciding what to rebuild.
Explore serviceWe grind out mortar that's gone soft and pack in fresh, color-matched joints, working on just the sections that need it so your wall sheds rain again.
Explore serviceCracked or flaking bricks get cut out and replaced with the closest match we can source, so the repair blends into the wall around it.
Explore serviceYou want a driveway that stays flat, so we dig out soft fill and pack a solid base before the first paver goes down.
Explore serviceOn lots this flat, retaining walls usually hold a raised bed or a small grade change, and we put drainage behind them so rain doesn't push them out.
Explore serviceFor an older wall or facade that's stained, cracked and patched over the years, we clean it gently, repair what's failed and match new work to the old.
Explore serviceWe build masonry fireplaces indoors or out, and the plan starts with where the firebox sits, how the chimney rises and where the smoke goes.
Explore serviceWe set thin stone over block or stucco walls, and most of the work is the prep behind it, so water that gets in has a way out.
Explore serviceA block wall around your yard or pool is only as good as what's under it, so we size the footing and the steel before laying a course.
Explore serviceFor an addition or a new outbuilding, we lay the block foundation walls on a level footing, filled and reinforced where the plans call for it.
Explore serviceYou pick the grill, sink and fridge, and we build the block base, counters and stone or stucco finish around them, with room left for gas and power.
Explore serviceA walkway from the drive to the front door should drain to the side, so we set the slope and the base before laying pavers, brick or stone.
Explore serviceWe build brick garden walls, planters and pillars, picking a brick and mortar color that suits your house and a footing sized to carry it.
Explore serviceNatural stone steps, walls and fire pits go together piece by piece, and we fit each stone so it sits on its own weight with tight joints.
Explore serviceWhen a few joints have cracked or washed out, pointing fills them with fresh mortar to keep rain out, a smaller job than redoing the whole wall.
Explore serviceBuilding permits in Palm Springs come from the Village's own Planning, Zoning & Building Department, and after a storm the Village asks you to apply there before structural repairs start, so on a permitted job the permit review can set the start date. Before you hire anyone, ask for their state license, which comes from Florida's Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and check whether it's certified, which is good anywhere in Florida, or registered, which only counts where the holder also has a local certificate of competency. The Village also wants contractors registered with it before they start work or pull permits, and it requires its business tax receipt even from contractors whose office sits outside the Village. We're licensed and insured, and when a job calls for a permit, we apply for it and set up the inspections. The price moves with how much old masonry has to come out, how hard the brick or stone is to match and how much base work the ground needs, while the schedule turns on the permit and the weather. I'll go over both with you at the estimate, which is where you get your own figure.
Rain is the other thing we plan around. Records for West Palm Beach, just outside the Village, show a little under 62 inches a year, with June, August and September the wettest months, so we schedule mortar and paver work around the afternoon storms and give walls and walkways a way to shed water. We see the same houses and the same weather on jobs in West Palm Beach and Westgate, so very little here catches us off guard.
Tell us about the crack, the worn joints or the wall, driveway or walkway you have in mind, and we'll reply within one business day. Then I come out to look at the job and write the estimate myself, right there at your house. It's free, and there's no pressure to book.
(561) 268-0510Yes, the Village wants every building permit application notarized by both the owner and the contractor, whatever the job is worth. When your job needs a permit, we prepare the application and tell you when it's ready for your signature, so you know that step is coming.
Palm Springs works under the Florida Building Code, in the current edition the Village has adopted. On a permitted job, that's the code the inspections check the work against, and it's the code we build to.
Most of the Village sits outside the official hurricane evacuation zones. The Village notes that a home can still fall in Evacuation Zone A if it's a manufactured home, of substandard construction or in a flood-prone area. If a storm does damage a wall or chimney, the permit comes before the structural repair, as covered above, and we handle that application for you.
We're based in Wellington and work in many cities around it, including the ones listed here and others nearby. If you don't see yours, give us a call and ask.
Our hours run until 10 PM on weekdays and 9 PM on weekends, so you can call (561) 268-0510 after work or send the form whenever it suits you.
