Masonry in Port Coquitlam: what the housing stock looks like
Port Coquitlam is predominantly a post-war and mid-century residential city, with a solid core of 1950s–1970s homes in Mary Hill, the Hyde Creek area, and around the Poco Trail. These homes were built with brick chimneys, concrete block foundations, and in many cases brick accents that are now 50–70 years old and need maintenance. The newer Citadel Heights and Riverwood developments from the 1990s and 2000s are starting to show wear on original veneer work and retaining walls. Downtown PoCo has a small commercial brick core along Shaughnessy Street.
Common masonry projects in Port Coquitlam
Post-war chimney repair and repointing
Mary Hill and Hyde Creek's 1950s–1970s homes have brick chimneys that are at the age where mortar joints open, crowns crack, and water starts tracking inside. We assess, repoint, and rebuild crowns as needed.
Concrete block foundation repair
PoCo's older homes often have concrete block or brick crawl space walls that show settlement cracks and failed mortar. We repair and repoint foundation masonry and advise on moisture management around the perimeter.
Retaining wall repair in Citadel Heights
Citadel Heights' sloped lots had retaining walls built in the 1990s — timber tie and segmental block — that are now aging. We replace timber tie walls with permanent masonry and repair block walls with drainage improvements.
Stone veneer updates on newer homes
Riverwood and the newer PoCo subdivisions have homes approaching 20–30 years where original stone veneer or brick accents need repointing, cleaned, or replaced. We match existing materials where possible.

Why local expertise matters in Port Coquitlam
PoCo's post-war housing stock has specific masonry characteristics — thinner brick, softer mortar from that era, and concrete block foundations with drainage issues tied to Mary Hill's clay soils. Understanding what 1960s construction looks like and what it needs is different from working on newer homes.
