Brick and stone work in Jacksonville

I've run this business out of Tyler since 2013, and Jacksonville is one of the cities we cover from there, along with Henderson and plenty of others around Tyler. The calls here are a lot like the ones we get across East Texas. We see older brick homes with worn mortar, chimneys that need work, and yards that need a wall, a walkway or a driveway. Most of it is repair, and repair is what we're known for.

Older brick shapes most jobs here, because a patch only looks right when the brick, the mortar color and the joints match the rest of the house. Out in the yard, the slope and where the water runs decide how a wall or walkway gets built.

How the city side of a job works

In Jacksonville, Building Inspections enforces the city's building codes for homes and businesses. New homes and additions go through Planning and Development Services from the first submittal to the final inspection. The city set October 1, 2026 as the date Jacksonville moves to the 2024 International Building Codes, so permitted work here is checked against those codes now. We check with the city on each job before we start. When a permit is needed, we file it and keep the paperwork moving, so you don't have to make those calls yourself. We're licensed and insured, and the city can see who's doing the work on your house.

What moves the price and the schedule

The price comes down to how much wall there is, how much old mortar or brick has to come out, and how hard it is to match what's already on your house. Access counts too, because if we can't get a truck near your back yard, we haul block and mortar in by hand. The schedule usually waits on finding brick or stone that matches, and on the city's permit when a job needs one. I come out, look at the job myself and write the estimate, so the figure you get is for your house and not a guess over the phone.

Repairs that blend in and walls that hold

On a repair, we match the brick size, the mortar color and the shape of the joints so the patch looks like it was always there. If a sloped yard is washing out, retaining wall construction is usually the fix. The drainage behind the wall matters as much as the block you can see, because water pushing from behind is what tips a wall over. A lead mason runs our crew on site, and we keep you posted so you're not chasing anybody down. If your wall can wait a few years, I'll tell you that instead of selling you the job.

Masonry permit questions in Jacksonville

Do I need a permit for a brick wall in Jacksonville, TX?

If the wall works as a fence, the city's earlier permit guide says it needs a permit only if it's over six feet high. For other masonry work, the city's permit list doesn't give an answer either way. On each job, we check with Building Inspections and file the permit when one's needed.

Does a masonry contractor have to register with the City of Jacksonville?

Yes. The city requires every contractor who works in Jacksonville to register before it will issue a permit. You can get the registration requirements from the city at 903-589-3510. If you're comparing masons, ask whether they're registered, because the city won't issue a permit for your job until they are.

How much does a residential remodel permit cost in Jacksonville?

The city's fee schedule lists $150 for a residential remodel. New residential construction has a $400 base fee, and homes over 2,000 square feet add $0.20 per square foot to that base. The city's earlier permit guide says a remodel needs permits for the parts of the structure it affects, so your job decides which permits apply.

How long do I have to start work after getting a Jacksonville building permit?

The city's earlier permit guide says construction has to begin within 180 days after the permit is issued. It also says at least one inspection has to happen in every 180 days, or the city considers the work abandoned. You request inspections by calling 903-589-3510 or by going to the city's office in person, and we handle that as part of the paperwork.
