Bricklaying in Port Coquitlam: what to know
New brickwork in Port Coquitlam ranges from entry features on newer Citadel Heights homes to garden walls and planters in the established Downtown PoCo area.
Bricklaying is the core of what we do: brick installation and repair, by hand, laid level and true. We build new brick walls, facades, garden and boundary walls, piers, columns, planters, and feature brickwork across Burnaby and Metro Vancouver, and we repair brick that's cracked, settled, or failing. Good bricklaying isn't just stacking brick. It's the right footing, consistent joints, proper coursing, and brick that's bonded to last. Whether you need new brick installed or existing brick repaired, we get the fundamentals right.

When Port Coquitlam homeowners call us for bricklaying
A new brick wall or facade
Planning new brickwork on a home, garden, or addition? We lay it level, plumb, and bonded properly so it lasts.
Cracked or damaged brick
Brick that's cracked, loose, or shifting needs proper repair, cutting out and replacing units, not just filling over the problem.
Brick piers, columns, or steps
Entry columns, gate piers, and brick steps need real footings and accurate coursing to stay straight. That's our wheelhouse.
Matching an existing brick wall
Extending or repairing existing brickwork takes a careful match on brick and joint so the new work disappears into the old.
Port Coquitlam properties: what we see
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.
We work throughout Port Coquitlam — including Downtown PoCo, Citadel Heights, Mary Hill, Riverwood — and we know how the terrain, housing stock, and climate vary across the city. Every quote reflects what we actually see on site.
How we do bricklaying in Port Coquitlam
- 1
Plan and footing
We lay out the work and pour a footing sized for the wall and the soil. The footing is what keeps brick from cracking and settling.
- 2
Set the brick
Courses go up level and plumb with a string line, consistent joints, and the right bond pattern for the job.
- 3
Repair and match
On repairs we cut out damaged brick, install a match, and blend the new units and joints into the surrounding wall.
- 4
Tool the joints
Joints are tooled to a clean, consistent profile that sheds water and looks sharp.
- 5
Clean up
We clean the face, clear the site, and walk the finished brickwork with you.
Why choose Burnaby Masonry for bricklaying in Port Coquitlam
Installation and repair under one roof
New brick or broken brick, we do both, so you don't need a separate trade for each.
Level, plumb, and bonded right
Sloppy bricklaying shows and weakens the wall. We check our lines course by course.
Footings done properly
We don't lay brick on bad ground. The footing gets done right so the wall stays straight.
Repairs that match
We match brick and joint on repairs so the fix blends into the existing wall instead of standing out.
