Learn MoreYou describe what you are seeing - a crack, crumbling mortar, a wall that is not quite right - and we ask a few quick questions. We can usually schedule a free on-site visit within a few days. There is no commitment to proceed, and you do not need to know the technical name for the problem.
We come out, walk the area with you, and look at the problem up close. We explain what we find in plain language and give you a written estimate that breaks down exactly what needs to be done, how long it will take, and what it will cost. We respond to all requests within 1 business day.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the job and get to work. We keep you updated at each stage. When the job is done, we walk through it with you, confirm everything meets expectations, and leave the site clean. Most jobs are finished in one to three days.
We are registered with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries and carry full general liability and workers compensation coverage. You can verify our license number before signing anything.
Every estimate starts with an in-person site visit at no charge. You get a written quote that spells out scope, materials, timeline, and price - before any work begins. No pressure to sign the same day.
We have been working in Medical Lake and the surrounding Spokane County communities since 2018. We know the local soils, the climate, and the housing stock - and we show up on time.
Every completed job comes with a written warranty covering both labor and materials. We explain the terms before we start and give you a copy when the work is done - so you have documentation if you ever sell the home.

They came out the same week I called, found two spots in the foundation I had not noticed, and had everything wrapped up in two days. The crew was easy to deal with and left the yard cleaner than they found it. Exactly what I hoped for.
David R., Medical Lake - Foundation repair
We had been putting off the chimney mortar work for a couple of years because we were worried about the cost and the mess. Neither ended up being an issue. The price was fair, they were done in one day, and the match on the mortar color is really good.
Sandra M., Cheney - Chimney repair
The retaining wall they built along our back slope has held up through two winters with no movement at all. They dug deeper than I expected them to and explained why - which I appreciated. The work is solid.
Tom B., Airway Heights - Retaining wall construction
We respond within 1 business day to schedule your free on-site visit - no obligation. After you submit, someone from our office will call to confirm a time that works for you and set up your free on-site estimate. Medical Lake Concrete & Masonry serves Medical Lake and 11 surrounding communities.

Freeze-thaw cycles are the main culprit. Water soaks into mortar, freezes, expands, and chips the joint apart - repeated dozens of times each winter. Medical Lake winters are cold enough that this process is aggressive. Inspect exterior masonry every spring after the ground fully thaws.
That white powder is called efflorescence. It means water has moved through your brick or mortar and left mineral deposits on the surface. The streaks themselves are not the damage - they are evidence that moisture is already inside your wall. The entry point needs to be sealed before the freeze-thaw cycle widens it.
For most structural work - foundation repairs, block wall installations, chimney relining - yes. Washington State requires contractors to be registered with the Department of Labor and Industries. You can verify any contractor's registration at the L&I site before you sign. Unregistered contractors cannot legally pull the permits that protect you.
Patching over failing mortar does not work - the new material does not bond to the old, and it fails quickly. Tuckpointing removes the damaged mortar to the right depth before fresh mortar is packed in. Done correctly by the Brick Industry Association's standards, it lasts 25 to 30 years. Surface patching may last one or two winters.
It does. The Channeled Scablands geology around Medical Lake includes areas of clay-like expansive soils that shift with moisture changes. When the soil expands in wet seasons and contracts in dry ones, it puts repeated stress on foundations and retaining walls. Knowing the local soil conditions shapes how we design and build structural masonry here.
It depends on the load, slope, and budget. Concrete block is the most common choice for structural retaining walls because it is strong, consistent, and cost-effective at most scales. Natural stone is durable and attractive but more labor-intensive. Brick is less common for retaining walls due to its moisture absorption. The American Society of Civil Engineers provides guidance on structural wall design for different soil and load conditions.

Since 2018, we have completed masonry and concrete projects across all 16 service areas - from foundation repairs and chimney work to retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and stone masonry. Every crew member is experienced with the specific soil conditions and freeze-thaw patterns common in this part of Eastern Washington.
Spring is the right time to get an assessment. Freeze-thaw cycles in Medical Lake can widen existing cracks or create new ones. Most are minor - a professional look will tell you which ones need action now and which can wait.
Usually yes. Foundation issues and damaged chimneys are among the first things a buyer's inspector flags. A documented repair with a warranty and permit records can prevent negotiations from collapsing and protect your asking price.
It gets worse. Each freeze-thaw cycle expands the gap a little more. What starts as a $500 tuckpointing job can turn into a $3,000 wall rebuild if water works its way behind the brick for several seasons. Early repairs are almost always cheaper.
The Brick Industry Association publishes detailed technical notes on masonry repair methods, material standards, and when professional work is required. If you have questions about what your specific situation needs, call us at (509) 241-9765.
Medical Lake is a small city of roughly 5,000 to 6,000 residents about 12 miles west of downtown Spokane in Spokane County. The lake at the center of town has been a gathering spot for generations, and the community has a distinct identity separate from the surrounding suburbs. Most homes here are owner-occupied single-family properties, many built between the 1950s and 1980s. A significant share of residents are connected to Fairchild Air Force Base, just a few miles away.
The local climate shapes the masonry work we do here more than anything else. Medical Lake sits on the eastern side of the Cascades, where winters are cold and real - January lows drop into the teens during cold snaps, and the area gets 40 to 50 inches of snow per year according to the National Weather Service in Spokane. Freeze-thaw cycles through late winter and spring are the main reason foundations crack, mortar fails, and driveways heave in this area. Homes near the lake and in lower-lying neighborhoods face additional moisture pressure during spring snowmelt.
Because most homes here were built between the 1950s and 1980s, many have original masonry that is at or past the point where maintenance is overdue. The Census data for Medical Lake shows a community of practical homeowners who take care of their properties long-term. That fits how we work. We give straight answers, written estimates, and do the job right the first time - whether your property is right on the water or out on a larger lot toward the county line.
