They came out quickly for the estimate, rebuilt the chimney to the roofline, and even fixed a few extra bricks.
Came out quick for estimate. Took apart my chimney to the roof line and basically rebuilt it in one day. Even fixed a few errant bricks on the ground. Recommend them for any brick work.
They were responsive, did a great job redoing the porch, and had the best pricing out of five quotes.
This company is very responsive, and did a great job re-doing my porch. I will certainly be using them again to do all of my brick work! Pricing was the best I received out of the other 5 quotes I got.
A family business that was professional, friendly, on time, and did excellent work.
Family business, one son did the estimate, another did the job. Both professional, friendly, came right on time, and did excellent work. Thank you very much!
They went above and beyond to make a large brick patio look like new.
Great company. We have a very large brick patio that needed to be power washed and replace the polymeric sand. He went over and above to make sure our patio looked like new. Would definitely hire again.
The tuckpointing and brick work looked awesome.
These guys were great, my tuck pointing and brick look awesome. Highly recommended.

Lovell Masonry provides masonry services for residential homes, including restoration, brick paver installation, and repairs for a driveway, patio, porch, or walkway. Brick pavers can shift, settle, or open gaps over time, and those areas should be repaired before the project grows.
Lovell Masonry offers senior and military discounts on eligible masonry projects. Discount details can vary by project scope, so contact the team to talk through the work and ask what may be available.
Brick can look solid from the street while the joints are already failing. You may see cracks, loose pieces, crumbling mortar, mildew, or water sitting after rain. Once moisture gets behind the brick, the home is less protected.
A closer look helps. A professional masonry crew can check the damage, explain the steps, and provide an estimate before work starts. The first call should be easy and direct.
A small masonry repair can become a bigger job when it is ignored. Brick that should have been repaired in spring may continue to move through another Michigan winter. The same can happen with chimney repair, porch repair, or brick pavers near a driveway.
Type N mortar is often the right option for residential masonry repair because it has strength without being too rigid. Good trade work is not just art. It takes precision and detail.
Lovell Masonry can repair the visible areas homeowners rely on every day, including chimney repair, front porch work, driveway edges, patio borders, and a walkway that no longer sits level.
A repaired chimney should shed water correctly. A repaired porch should feel stable. A repaired walkway should stand up to normal use. Quality craftsmanship shows in those small details.
Brick paver installation can bring structure and beauty to an outdoor space when the base, pitch, and edges are handled correctly. A dream patio or clean walkway still needs proper build work underneath.
Brick pavers may need to be lifted, leveled, and repaired when the base settles. Sometimes individual pieces are replaced. Sometimes the larger area needs restoration to make the surface safer and easier to enjoy.
Before you hire a company, check whether it is licensed and insured. Look at Google reviews, Google photos, and BBB details if they are posted. Customers often mention excellent work, a friendly crew, and a great experience when communication and cleanup are handled well.
You should be able to trust the estimate and understand the steps. The right team will offer a clear option and continue only when you are ready.
Lovell Masonry handles brick and masonry work across Metro Detroit and Southeast Michigan. The team takes pride in the trade and in doing work that helps ensure the home stays protected.

Answers to common questions about masonry repair, chimney repair, and brick pavers in Metro Detroit.
Brick should be repaired when you see cracks, loose mortar, spalling, movement, mildew, or water getting into the wall. Spring is often a good time because mortar can cure in milder weather.
Yes. Brick pavers can often be lifted, reset, and repaired if the base is still usable. If the patio, walkway, or driveway has deeper settling, the project may need more base work.
Yes. Chimney repair may include damaged brick, failing mortar, minor cracks, or chimney cap issues. The repair should use materials that fit Michigan weather.
Ask whether the contractor is licensed and insured. Check Google reviews, posted Google photos, and BBB information. Look for clean work, clear communication, and whether customers would definitely hire the crew again.
