Bricklaying in Richmond: what to know
New brickwork in Richmond ranges from feature walls and entry columns in Steveston's heritage-influenced homes to brick accents on the modern builds going up in Brighouse and City Centre.
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 Richmond 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.
Richmond properties: what we see
Richmond sits near sea level on a river delta, which fundamentally changes the engineering requirements for any masonry structure. The water table is high, the soil compresses under load, and drainage doesn't happen the way it does on sloped lots. Steveston has heritage brick and some of the oldest commercial masonry in the region. The City Centre and Brighouse areas have dense residential and commercial development where stone veneer and block work are common. Terra Nova's newer houses have original stone veneer installations that are now 15–20 years old.
We work throughout Richmond — including Steveston, Brighouse, Terra Nova, City Centre — 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 Richmond
- 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 Richmond
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.
