Premium masonry Services Built With Precision

Steps, Stoops & Walkways

Bluestone, brick, concrete block, and natural stone steps and walkways built to NJ code. We pour proper footings below frost line so your steps don’t heave after the first hard winter.

Retaining Walls

Block and natural stone retaining walls with proper batter, drainage aggregate, and drainage pipe behind the wall. A retaining wall without drainage fails — we build them to last.

Brick & Stone Repair

Repointing deteriorated mortar joints, replacing spalled brick, resetting displaced stone, and waterproofing. We match mortar type and color to the existing structure.

// The Detail That Separates Durable Masonry from Failed Masonry

Most masonry problems in New Jersey come from two sources: movement and water. When bases are poorly compacted, footings are inadequate, or drainage is ignored, freeze–thaw cycles can shift the structure and open cracks in the mortar joints.

That is why preparation is never treated as an extra. We evaluate the site, existing structure, soil conditions, water flow, and exposure before recommending repair or replacement. For new masonry, we build with proper excavation, compacted base material, reinforcement where needed, appropriate mortar selection, and drainage details suited to the project.

Good masonry is not only about how it looks on day one. It is about how it performs after years of rain, snow, ice, heat, and daily use.

// Why Quality Masonry Is Worth Doing Once

Quality masonry improves curb appeal, function, and long-term durability. When the structure is built correctly, it resists movement, controls water, and holds its appearance over time.

Built for New Jersey Weather: Masonry in this region must handle freezing, thawing, rain, snow, and ground movement. Proper preparation helps reduce cracking, settling, separation, and premature failure.

Drainage That Protects the Structure: Steps, patios, and retaining walls all need to move water correctly. We account for slope, aggregate, drainage paths, and wall drainage so water does not collect where it can cause damage.

Curb Appeal That Holds Up: Brick, stone, concrete, and bluestone can improve the appearance of a home when installed with clean lines, proper spacing, and careful finishing.

Clear Scope Before Work Begins: You receive a written estimate explaining the work, materials, preparation, and expected timeline before the project starts.

Why Best Choice GC

// Why nj Homeowners Trust Our Masonry Work

We Diagnose Before We Build

Before quoting, we evaluate drainage, soil movement, existing cracks, exposure, load, and how the masonry will connect to the surrounding property.

We Use the Right Materials

Exterior masonry requires the correct mortar, base preparation, reinforcement, and water-management details. We do not use a one-size-fits-all approach.

We Match Existing Masonry Carefully

For repairs, we match brick, stone, mortar color, joint profile, and finish as closely as possible so the repair looks intentional — not patched.

Written, Transparent Estimates

We provide clear estimates with material, labor, scope, and project details so you understand what is included before approving the work.

words from our happy clients

Our chimney needed repairs and this crew made it look brand new. The brickwork is sharp and draft is way better now. They listened to what I wanted and didn’t rush me into choices. Super happy with the results.

I needed my siding repaired after a storm and this business came through fast. They matched my previous one so well you can’t even tell the difference. Price was fair too. These guys know their stuff.

Stephanie Massingill
Siding

We had an old deck rebuilt into a space we actually enjoy using. The work was on schedule and they even helped us with some small design ideas we hadn’t thought about. Now we use that space every single day.

Hired them for roofing and I can’t complain one bit. Crew showed up on time, worked hard, and got it all done in just a couple days. No leaks since and it looks clean from the street too.

Nadia Gatica
Roofing

I had my roof and gutters done recently, and they did an amazing job. It was freezing that day, but they still showed up on time and got right to work. Everything looks great, and the gutters are working perfectly. They finished faster than I expected and cleaned up everything before leaving. They’re starting my siding next month, and I’m really excited to see how it turns out. Definitely recommend them.

Such amazing work was done in my house, front and back. John and his team are very professional and they brought life to my 1900 old House. We are beyond happy how everything turned out. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Best Choice GC. They’re a family-owned company, and it really shows in how they treat their customers. From the start, they were very responsive and got me an estimate quickly, which made the whole process easy. We hired them for exterior work, and their team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout the project. They kept me updated along the way and made sure the job was done right. 10/10 would recommend

Melissa Jacob

Just had my roof replaced and I’m really glad I chose best choice. The crew was on time, worked hard, and kept everything clean, which I really appreciated. The roof looks great and you can tell the work was done right. They answered my questions and pricing was fair with no surprises. Overall a really smooth experience, I’d definitely recommend them.

I hired “Best Choice GC “for my house gutters/guard. John handled everything gutter-related for me. He cleaned out all the old buildup, flushed the downspouts, re-secured a sagging section, and installed gutter guards so I don’t have to deal with this every fall. He was on time, walked me through the options for guards without any pressure, and the price matched his quote exactly. He even took before/after pics and hauled away all the debris. True professional. Already gave his number to family/friends.
