“The crew showed up on time, diagnosed the foundation issue the same day, and had the piers installed within two days. The sticking doors I had been dealing with for two summers finally close right again. I appreciated that they explained exactly what they were doing before they touched anything.”
David M., Conway - Foundation repair
“My chimney had been pulling away from the house for a couple of years and I kept putting it off. They filled the gap, repointed the mortar joints, and replaced the crown - all in one visit. The work matched the existing brick better than I expected for an older home.”
Sandra K., Little Rock - Chimney repair
“We had the front walkway and a small retaining wall done at the same time. The stone work on the retaining wall looks like it was always there. They cleaned up both days and gave us a clear explanation of the curing time before we could walk on it.”

A few things worth understanding before you schedule a repair or start a new project.
Clay soil expands when it absorbs moisture and shrinks as it dries - and central Arkansas gets both wet springs and dry summers. That repeated movement pushes on foundations and mortar joints every year, which is why many Conway homes need repairs every decade or so. Managing drainage around your home slows the cycle significantly.
Conway's winters rarely stay below freezing for weeks at a time - temperatures swing above and below freezing repeatedly. That cycle is harder on mortar than a sustained freeze: water soaks in, freezes and expands, then thaws, and repeats. A few winters of this can turn a small crack into a big repair. Repointing in fall stops the cycle before it starts.
Conway averages around 50 inches of rainfall per year, and spring brings the heaviest totals. The best window for masonry repairs is late fall or early spring - before the wet season - when temperatures are moderate and mortar can cure without being rushed by heat or disrupted by a freeze. Fall repairs protect your home through winter and into the next wet spring.
Mid-century homes in Conway were built with softer, lime-based mortar that flexes slightly with the wall. Using a hard modern mortar on these older bricks creates a mismatch - the mortar becomes stronger than the bricks, and the bricks crack instead of the joints. A knowledgeable mason matches the mix to your home's age. The Brick Industry Association publishes detailed guidance on mortar compatibility for older brick.
Yes, when plants and mulch hold moisture against the foundation wall. Conway's clay soil absorbs that moisture and expands, putting pressure on the foundation. Keeping soil sloped away from the house, maintaining gutters, and avoiding dense plantings within 18 inches of the foundation are the three most effective steps a homeowner can take between professional repairs.
A small crack in a mortar joint costs a few hundred dollars to fix. After one or two more freeze-thaw winters, water that entered that crack can reach the wall's interior, damaging insulation, framing, and drywall. The Conway Masonry & Concrete team often sees jobs that started as simple tuckpointing but expanded into wall repairs because they were put off too long. Early repairs are almost always the cheaper path. See more guidance from the National Park Service Preservation Briefs.

If more than about 30 to 40 percent of the mortar joints are deteriorated, a full repoint is usually more cost-effective than patching section by section. Individual bricks that are cracked through or hollow-sounding should be replaced. A mason can tell you in the estimate which approach fits your specific situation.
Standard homeowner's insurance in Arkansas typically does not cover foundation repair caused by soil movement or gradual settling - these are considered maintenance issues. Coverage may apply if damage resulted from a sudden event like a burst pipe. Always call your insurer before hiring a contractor to confirm what your policy covers. The Insurance Information Institute has a plain-language guide to what standard policies typically include and exclude.
The most common shortcut in masonry work is skipping proper mortar removal - applying new mortar over old damaged material rather than grinding it out first. This looks fine on day one but fails within a year or two. Ask any contractor to walk you through their removal process before you accept a bid. Price differences of 30 percent or more on identical scopes are usually explained by this step being skipped.

Conway is one of Arkansas's fastest-growing cities, with a population that has grown from around 43,000 in 2000 to over 67,000 today. That growth means a steady mix of newer subdivisions - like those off Dave Ward Drive and in neighborhoods on the city's north and west sides - sitting alongside established neighborhoods close to the University of Central Arkansas campus and downtown, where homes from the 1940s and 1950s still stand.
The city is home to three universities - UCA, Hendrix College, and Central Baptist College - which gives it the nickname the City of Colleges. The housing stock here reflects that history: a wide range of ages, from pre-war homes near campus to brand-new builds in developing subdivisions. Conway is the county seat of Faulkner County, sits along Interstate 40 about 30 miles north of Little Rock, and hosts the annual Toad Suck Daze festival along the Arkansas River - one of the largest festivals in the state.
The clay-heavy soils common throughout Faulkner County, combined with Conway's hot summers and unpredictable winters, put steady pressure on masonry year after year. Whether your home is in an older neighborhood near Oak Street, a mid-century brick build near Hendrix College, or a newer home that is now starting to show its first signs of settling, Conway Masonry & Concrete knows what the local conditions do to brick, stone, and concrete - and how to address it correctly.
