Brick, Stone, and Masonry Services For Your Kansas City Home

Great Plains Exteriors provides stone and masonry services throughout the Kansas City area, including Kansas City, MO, Overland Park, and surrounding communities. Our team can help with brick repair, stone veneer, masonry repairs, and other exterior projects involving these materials.

Brick Repair
Cracked or damaged brick can affect both the appearance and protection of your home's exterior. We can assess areas that need attention and determine what repairs or replacement materials make sense for the project.

FAQ
What masonry repairs are common in Kansas City?
Common masonry repairs include cracked or deteriorated mortar, broken bricks, damaged stone, and areas where moisture has gotten behind the masonry. Kansas City’s freeze-thaw cycles can make these problems worse over time.
What is tuckpointing?
Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar from masonry joints and replacing it with new mortar. It can help prevent moisture from getting deeper into the wall and protect the surrounding brick or stone.
How does Kansas City weather affect masonry?
Kansas City experiences hot and cold temperature swings, heavy rain, and freeze-thaw cycles. Moisture that gets into masonry can freeze and expand, putting stress on brick, stone, and mortar. Proper materials, installation, flashing, and water management can help reduce these problems.
Can you use stone veneer on a home exterior?
Yes. Stone veneer is commonly used on exterior walls and accent areas. Thin and manufactured stone veneer options are available in a range of styles, allowing homeowners to change the look of an exterior without using full-depth natural stone.
Do masonry projects require permits in Kansas City?
Some masonry projects may require permits, particularly when the work involves structural changes. Requirements can vary between municipalities on the Missouri and Kansas sides of the metro, so the specific location and scope of the project need to be considered.
How should I choose a Kansas City masonry contractor?
Look for a contractor with local experience, knowledgeable staff, appropriate insurance, a clear scope of work, and an itemized estimate that explains the materials and services included. For larger projects, comparing multiple detailed bids can also help you understand what each contractor is proposing.
Can masonry work be part of a larger exterior project?
Yes. Stone and masonry can work alongside siding, stucco, landscaping, and other exterior improvements. If you’re planning several updates at once, we can help you consider how the different materials and finishes will work together in your next project.
Can you help with masonry for a new building?
Yes. Our experience includes new construction as well as remodeling and repair work. We can discuss the project, materials, and overall exterior with you before construction begins.
