C&M Concrete & Masonry is Plymouth Meeting's trusted masonry contractor — we serve Montgomery County with expert stone work, brick masonry, chimney repair, retaining walls, stone veneer, and complete masonry restoration. From historic stone foundation repointing to brick chimney rebuilds and structural retaining walls, our craftsmen deliver work engineered for Pennsylvania's demanding climate.
Plymouth Meeting sits at the crossroads of Montgomery County — a community where historic stone farmhouses stand alongside mid-century brick neighborhoods and modern commercial development. The masonry here tells the story of the region: Wissahickon schist foundations on 18th-century structures, brick colonials from the post-war building boom, and contemporary stone veneer on newer construction throughout the Plymouth Meeting and Whitemarsh Township area.
At C&M Concrete & Masonry, we're proud to serve Plymouth Meeting and the surrounding Montgomery County communities. Our masonry division handles everything from structural foundation restoration to decorative stonework — brick masonry, natural stone installation, CMU block construction, chimney repair and rebuilding, retaining walls, repointing and tuckpointing, stone veneer, stucco, and masonry waterproofing.

We provide complete residential and commercial masonry installation and repair services throughout the Plymouth Meeting area.
The Wissahickon schist and fieldstone foundations beneath many Plymouth Meeting homes have stood for centuries. But the lime-based mortar binding them deteriorates over time. Our repointing process carefully rakes out failed mortar and packs fresh mortar matching the original in composition, color, and compressive strength. We use historically appropriate lime mortars on older homes because modern Portland cement is too hard and can damage softer historic stone. Read about our repointing and tuckpointing services.
Your chimney takes the full force of Montgomery County weather year-round. Deteriorated mortar joints, spalling bricks, leaning stacks, and water-stained ceilings are all signs your chimney needs professional attention. We provide everything from minor repairs to full chimney teardowns and reconstructions, with proper concrete crowns, chimney caps, and flashing integration.
Brick and CMU block remain essential in Montgomery County construction. We install and repair structural brick walls, concrete block foundations, brick veneer, and exterior brick features. Plymouth Meeting's mid-century brick homes often need mortar restoration as the original mortar ages. See our brick masonry and block construction pages.
Stone veneer transforms any wall into a focal point. Using natural Pennsylvania fieldstone, bluestone, or limestone — or high-quality manufactured stone — we install over properly prepared substrates with moisture barrier, metal lath, scratch coat, and setting bed for permanent bonding. Explore our natural stone and stone veneer pages.
Plymouth Meeting's varied terrain often requires retaining walls. We design and build masonry retaining walls using natural stone, concrete block, and poured concrete — every wall engineered for local soil conditions, slope angle, and drainage. See our structural concrete page.
Stucco protects masonry walls with a classic appearance. We install traditional three-coat stucco systems and repair failing stucco, plus comprehensive waterproofing: penetrating sealers, parging, crack injection, and drainage solutions. Visit our stucco services page.
Masonry is durable, but not invincible — especially in Plymouth Meeting. Understanding what's happening to your brick and stone is the first step toward protecting it.
Montgomery County averages 60+ freeze-thaw cycles annually. Water penetrates porous brick and mortar, freezes (expanding ~9%), then thaws — each cycle widening micro-cracks until visible damage appears.
Water enters through cracked mortar, failed flashing, or porous brick — causing efflorescence, mold, interior damage, and accelerated deterioration. Proper waterproofing stops water before it causes damage.
Plymouth Meeting's varied soils expand when wet and contract when dry, putting lateral pressure on foundation walls. This causes cracking, bowing, and mortar joint failure — especially in older stone foundations.
Brick, mortar, and stone each expand at different rates with temperature changes. Over decades, this differential movement breaks the bond between mortar and masonry, causing systematic cracking patterns.
Repair vs. replacement? Most masonry issues are repairable if caught early. Repointing deteriorated mortar and addressing drainage can add decades of life. Schedule a professional inspection before a small problem becomes a major expense.
