Professional Masonry Services For Lasting Results In Ann Arbor, MI
The Great Lakes region runs through roughly 42 freeze-thaw cycles a year, and each one pries at mortar joints, chimney crowns and concrete slabs. Danaher Family Masonry and Restoration answers that with brick masonry, block masonry, stone masonry, tile services, concrete services and full restoration for residential and commercial properties around Ann Arbor, MI. We build new porches, chimneys, additions and retaining walls, restore historic facades and settled garden walls, repair cracked concrete driveways and patios, and install tile flooring in kitchens and bathrooms. Working with materials sourced from local suppliers, we handle consultation, design, material selection, site preparation and finish work, so nothing gets handed off midway.
Our Services
BRICK MASONRY
We lay and repair brick for porches, chimneys, additions and full new builds, then repoint aging joints so water stops working its way behind the wall. Decorative arches and patterns included.
BLOCK MASONRY
Concrete block gives you strength at a sensible price. Count on us for decorative walls, retaining structures, arches and custom finishes on new additions, laid level and reinforced to suit the load above.
STONE MASONRY
Local suppliers give us access to a wide range of natural stone for chimneys, retaining walls, additions and custom features. Older stonework gets restored rather than replaced wherever the original material is still sound.
TILE SERVICES
Kitchens, bathrooms and backsplashes get proper waterproofing before a single tile goes down, then straight grout lines and full mortar contact underneath. Ask about our seasonal discounts on tile work.
CONCRETE SERVICES
Driveways, patios and garage floors go in over a properly compacted base with joints cut where the slab wants to crack. Stamped, stained and textured finishes are available on any pour.
RESTORATION
Leaning garden walls, crumbling facades, failing chimneys and sunken walkways all come back. We find what let the water in first, then repair or rebuild only the section that has actually failed.
NEW BUILDS
Ground-up masonry for homes, additions and commercial buildings, with footings below the 42-inch frost line, drained wall cavities, correct flashing and weeps at the right spacing from the first course.
HISTORICAL RESTORATION
Older properties need mortar softer than the brick around it. We match color, texture and joint profile, repoint by hand, and keep original material in place wherever it can still do its job.
PORCHES
New brick porches, rebuilt steps, entryway landings and decorative detailing, set on footings below frost depth with risers within the 3/8-inch variation the code allows so nobody catches a toe.
CHIMNEYS
Chimney brick takes more freeze-thaw punishment than anything else on a house. Tuckpointing, crown replacement, spalling brick swaps and partial or full rebuilds keep the stack sound above the roofline.
CONCRETE REPAIR
Cracks under a quarter inch take a filler. Wider ones need undercutting and layered patching. Resurfacing, epoxy injection and spalling repair buy years out of a slab you already paid for.
TILE FLOORING
Floor tile only stays flat if the substrate does. Subfloors get flattened to the tolerance the tile size actually demands before porcelain, ceramic or natural stone goes down, so edges sit level and grout holds.
BRICK MASONRY
We lay and repair brick for porches, chimneys, additions and full new builds, then repoint aging joints so water stops working its way behind the wall. Decorative arches and patterns included.
BLOCK MASONRY
Concrete block gives you strength at a sensible price. Count on us for decorative walls, retaining structures, arches and custom finishes on new additions, laid level and reinforced to suit the load above.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between masonry repair and masonry restoration?
Repair fixes a specific failure, like a cracked joint or a loose brick. Restoration returns a whole structure to sound, original condition, which usually means rebuilding sections, repointing broadly, and matching materials so the finished work reads as one piece.
How do I know if a masonry problem is cosmetic or structural?
Stair-step cracks following the mortar joints, bulging walls, and openings that no longer sit square point to movement underneath. Surface flaking, stained brick and hairline shrinkage cracks are usually cosmetic. A close look on site settles which one you have.
How do freeze-thaw cycles damage masonry in Michigan?
Water soaks into brick, mortar and concrete, then expands as it freezes and forces the material apart. With roughly 42 cycles a year, Danaher Family Masonry and Restoration builds and repairs everything in Ann Arbor, MI with that pressure in mind.
How long does a masonry project usually take?
A porch repointing or a small repair often wraps within a few days. Chimney rebuilds, retaining walls and full restorations run longer, and fresh concrete needs 28 days to reach full strength no matter how quickly the pour itself wraps up.
