Owensboro, KY, Masonry Services
The Ohio River region presents unique challenges for masonry, and at Bramwell-McKay Property Services & Consultants, we understand exactly what Owensboro property owners face. From the humid summers that cause mortar to degrade to the freeze-thaw cycles that can compromise even the strongest foundations, our Owensboro, KY, masonry services have been refined over four decades of serving the area.
We serve Owensboro homeowners and business owners with the same expectations in which we would want to be treated if we had to call masonry contractors on our own residential and commercial projects. We would want quality masonry work, and that is what we provide to you.
Owensboro's Masonry Challenges
Your property battles time every second of every day, and it also faces the pressure of the environment in the western Kentucky area. The region's clay-rich soil expands and contracts with seasonal moisture changes, creating stress on foundations and masonry structures that many homeowners struggle to find masonry contractors to properly address.

We take a restorative approach that prioritizes safety and the preservation of your home's original look and character.

Residential Masonry Elements & Additions
Enhance your home with new, custom masonry features designed for Kentucky's climate. We can build mailboxes, monuments, porches, walkways, retaining walls, and patios built to withstand local weather patterns.
Foundation Services for Owensboro Homes
The soil around Owensboro has a lot of clay in it. When it rains, that clay swells up like a sponge and holds on to the water. Then, when it dries out, it shrinks and cracks. Your foundation is sitting right in the middle of this constant expansion and contraction, and over time, the stresses do add up.
It's a good idea to get your foundation looked at, especially if you're noticing doors that stick, cracks appearing in your walls, floors that feel uneven, or windows that suddenly don't open and close like they used to. Sometimes you'll see actual cracks in your foundation walls, or maybe your basement feels damper than it should. These are your house telling you something's going on.
We offer these foundation services in the Owensboro area:
