Learn MoreTell us what you are seeing - sticking doors, a crumbling chimney, a wall that is pulling away. You do not need to know the technical name for the problem. We will ask a few simple questions and get you scheduled for a free on-site assessment. We respond within 1 business day.
One of our crew visits your property, walks the damage, and gives you a plain-English explanation of what is going on and what it will take to fix it. You get a written estimate before anyone picks up a tool. No pressure, no surprise charges.
Once you give us the go-ahead, we schedule the job, pull any required permits, and get it done. Most residential masonry jobs take one to three days. We clean up each day and walk you through the finished work before we leave.
We are licensed through the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors and carry full general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Every job - large or small - is covered before we start.
We come to your property, look at the actual damage, and give you a written price. No phone estimates, no ballpark numbers, no charge for the visit. You decide whether to move forward on your timeline.
We live and work in the Wiregrass region. We know the clay soil, the storm seasons, and the housing stock. We are not a franchise or a traveling crew - we are your neighbors.
Every repair we make comes with a written warranty covering both materials and labor. Foundation work often includes a multi-year transferable warranty that moves with the home if you sell.

"We had cracks in the brick around three of our windows that kept coming back every year. The team came out, explained what was causing it - the soil shifting during dry spells - and repaired it properly. That was two seasons ago and we have not seen a new crack since."
Marcus T., Dothan - Brick repair
"The chimney on our 1970s ranch had not been touched in years. They did a full inspection, replaced the mortar, put a new cap on, and finished the job in one day. They also told us exactly when it would be safe to use the fireplace again - which I really appreciated."
Sandra R., Enterprise - Chimney repair
"I called about a dip in my floor that I thought was a foundation issue. They came out, assessed it, and found it was actually the crawl space supports. They fixed the actual problem - not just what I described on the phone - and the floor is solid now. Fair price, clean work."
Jerome K., Ozark - Foundation repair
We respond within 1 business day - no obligation. After you submit, someone from our office calls to learn more about your project and schedule a free on-site estimate at your convenience. You get a written price before any work begins.

Thin, vertical hairline cracks near door frames are often just settling and pose little structural risk. Horizontal cracks across a basement wall or wide stair-step cracks through brick are the ones to act on quickly - they signal the wall is being pushed or pulled by soil movement. When in doubt, get an assessment. The undefined Safety Institute of America notes that water is the primary driver of masonry deterioration across all climates.
Dothan averages about 58 inches of rain per year - nearly 20 inches above the national average. That volume pushes water into tiny mortar gaps, widening them season by season. On south- and west-facing walls that catch driving rain, mortar can fail decades sooner than on sheltered walls. Routine inspection every few years catches the problem while it is still a $300 fix rather than a $3,000 one. The National Park Service Preservation Briefs {" "} cover mortar selection and repointing best practices in detail.
New mortar cannot bond properly to old, crumbling material. Skipping the removal step - just filling over the top - is the most common shortcut that causes tuckpointing to fail within two or three years instead of twenty-five. A quality repair requires cutting old mortar out to a consistent three-quarter-inch depth before packing in new material. If you can see a contractor's crew skipping this on a job site, that is a sign to ask questions.
Cosmetic repairs - refilling mortar joints or replacing a few bricks - typically do not need a permit. Work involving structural changes to a foundation, a chimney rebuild, or a large retaining wall usually does require one through the City of Dothan Building Inspection Division. A licensed contractor handles the permit application and coordinates the required inspection. Skipping a required permit means the work will not be inspected - and that can create problems if you ever sell the home.
Tuckpointing targets the mortar joints between bricks - grinding out old material and packing in fresh mortar. Brick repair addresses the bricks themselves - replacing cracked or spalled units, reanchoring sections that have shifted, or addressing areas where water has gotten behind the face of the wall. Many jobs involve both. A contractor who only offers one solution to every problem is worth a second opinion.
Done correctly with the right mortar mix for your brick type, tuckpointing should last 25 to 30 years. Foundation repairs with proper drainage corrections in place typically last decades. The biggest factor is whether the root cause - soil movement, drainage, or water intrusion - was addressed alongside the visible damage. A repair that only fixes the symptom will keep coming back. Ask your contractor what caused the problem before agreeing to any scope of work.
Dothan Concrete & Masonry is a licensed and insured masonry contractor based in Dothan, AL, serving 12 cities across southeast Alabama and southwest Georgia since 2020.
We hold a current license through the Alabama Licensing Board for General Contractors, which covers all masonry and concrete work performed in the state of Alabama.
Since 2020, we have completed masonry projects ranging from single-day chimney repairs to multi-week foundation stabilization jobs - always with our own crew, never subcontracted out. Learn more about us.
Any job over $1,500 or any repair that involves structural work - foundations, retaining walls, chimney rebuilds - is worth two or three written estimates. Not to find the cheapest price, but to make sure you understand what different contractors are actually proposing to do.
A real warranty is in writing, names a specific time period, and spells out exactly what is covered. Verbal warranties and vague promises of 'standing behind our work' do not protect you. Ask for the warranty document before you sign the contract.
A crack in your brick wall might be from soil movement, a drainage problem, or the mortar just reaching the end of its lifespan. Patching it without knowing which one means you will likely see the same crack return within a few years. A good contractor tells you the cause - not just the fix.
The Brick Industry Association publishes technical guidance on masonry repair and mortar selection that is worth reading before any larger project. When you are ready to get an expert opinion on your property, call us at (334) 605-4941 or submit a message online.
Dothan is the largest city in southeast Alabama, home to around 72,000 people and the regional hub for shopping, medical care, and services across parts of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. It sits in the heart of the Wiregrass region - named for the tough native grass that once covered the flat, sandy terrain. Most of the city's housing stock dates from the 1950s through the 1980s: block after block of single-story brick ranch homes built on concrete slab foundations. Learn more about Dothan's demographics and housing at the U.S. Census Bureau.
Those older homes sit on sandy soil that drains quickly but shifts gradually under slabs and foundations over time - a pattern that explains why foundation repair and tuckpointing are two of the most common masonry calls we get across the Wiregrass region. The city also averages about 58 inches of rain per year, and those storms come hard and fast - every gap in a mortar joint is an open door for that water. Dothan is also well known as the home of the National Peanut Festival, one of southeast Alabama's biggest annual events, and Southeast Health is one of the largest employers in the region.
Dothan Concrete & Masonry has been working on homes across Dothan since 2020 - from the older brick ranch neighborhoods near downtown to the newer subdivisions spreading north and west toward the bypass. We know the homes here, the soil conditions, and what the local storm seasons do to masonry year after year. When something needs attention, we are close by and ready to take a look.
