Conway Masonry & Concrete is a masonry contractor serving Conway, AR, specializing in foundation repair, tuckpointing, and brick repair. Serving Conway homeowners since 2020 with next-business-day response times.
Conway sits on Faulkner County clay soil that swells and contracts with every wet spring and dry summer, and that movement is the most common reason foundations crack and shift here. Whether you are in one of the older neighborhoods near downtown or a newer subdivision off Dave Ward Drive, our foundation repair work is sized to the actual problem, not a one-size package.
Many Conway homes built in the 1950s through 1970s have original brick that is now showing cracked mortar, spalling, or stair-step cracks after decades of Arkansas freeze-thaw winters. Catching mortar damage early keeps a straightforward repair from turning into a major rebuild.
Tuckpointing removes worn mortar from between bricks and replaces it with fresh material that seals the wall against water. In Conway, the combination of hot summers and occasional hard freezes makes mortar wear out faster than in cooler climates, so older brick homes benefit from this service every 20 to 30 years.
Conway's heavy spring rainfall and clay-heavy soils can turn a sloped yard into an erosion problem in just a few seasons. A properly engineered retaining wall controls that movement and protects both your landscaping and the ground around your foundation.
Tree roots in Conway's established neighborhoods can buckle an older concrete walkway quickly, and the city's clay soil doesn't forgive an undersized base. A new paver or concrete walkway with a proper compacted base will stay level through years of Arkansas weather.
Chimneys in Conway take the hardest weather abuse of any masonry on your home, exposed to both summer heat and the occasional ice storm that coats the Arkansas River valley. Cracked mortar and a damaged cap let water into the flue, which is one of the most common causes of water damage in attics across this area.
Conway sits on expansive clay soil that is the single biggest driver of masonry problems in Faulkner County. This soil swells significantly when it gets wet and shrinks back when it dries out, putting every foundation, retaining wall, and paved surface through repeated stress every year. Homes built between the 1950s and 1980s were often set on shallower footings than modern standards require, which means that soil movement has had decades to accumulate. What looks like a small crack on the outside of a brick wall can trace back to years of foundation shifting that a contractor unfamiliar with this area might miss entirely.
Conway's climate adds another layer of challenge. Summers regularly push into the mid-to-upper 90s with high humidity, which accelerates mortar breakdown on brick walls and exterior masonry. Then winter brings freeze-thaw cycles that turn small mortar cracks into large ones, sometimes in a single cold season. Parts of the city closer to Cadron Creek and the Arkansas River corridor also deal with higher water table levels that can push hydrostatic pressure against foundations - a condition that requires both structural support and drainage to address properly. A masonry contractor who works regularly in Conway knows to look for all of these factors together rather than treating each problem in isolation.
Conway Masonry & Concrete has been serving Conway homeowners since 2020, pulling permits regularly through the City of Conway Building Department for structural masonry work across Faulkner County. Our crew works in all parts of Conway, from the older neighborhoods near downtown and Oak Street to the newer subdivisions on the north and west sides of the city, and we know how the local housing stock differs from one part of town to another.
The neighborhoods near the University of Central Arkansas campus often have homes built before 1970 with original foundations that have been quietly shifting for decades. Out toward Dave Ward Drive and newer subdivisions like Breckenridge, homes are younger but may have concrete driveways and walkways that are hitting the age where the base prep is starting to show its limits. We route jobs along the corridors we know well - Interstate 40 access makes it easy to serve both Conway and nearby communities efficiently.
We also work regularly in Vilonia, AR, just up the road from Conway, where the soil conditions and housing types are similar to Conway's established neighborhoods. Homeowners in both communities can expect the same approach: a thorough look at the full problem before anything is priced or scheduled.
Reach out by phone or through the estimate form on this site. We reply within one business day to schedule an on-site visit at a time that works for you.
We walk the full problem area - not just the visible damage - and provide a written estimate before any work is scheduled. You will know the full scope and price before anything starts, with no surprise add-ons after the fact.
For structural work, we pull the required City of Conway permits before the crew arrives. Most jobs run one to five days. We work independently, so you do not need to be home every day during the project.
When the job is complete, we walk the finished work with you and explain any maintenance steps that will extend its life - things like managing drainage away from your foundation or keeping new mortar dry for 24 to 48 hours after the repair.

(501) 273-0789Conway is the county seat of Faulkner County and one of Arkansas's fastest-growing cities, sitting about 30 miles north of Little Rock along Interstate 40. The city is home to three universities - the University of Central Arkansas, Hendrix College, and Central Baptist College - which has earned it the nickname "City of Colleges" and shaped its neighborhoods into a mix of owner-occupied homes, older rental housing near campus, and new subdivisions expanding on the city's north and west sides. The city's annual Toad Suck Daze festival draws tens of thousands of visitors to the Arkansas River corridor each spring.
Conway's housing stock reflects the city's growth history. The neighborhoods closest to downtown and near the UCA campus include homes built in the 1940s and 1950s with original foundations, older brick, and materials that have had seven or eight decades to respond to Faulkner County's clay soil. Newer areas off Dave Ward Drive and in subdivisions like Breckenridge and Westbury are younger, but the concrete driveways and walkways in those neighborhoods are now hitting the 15-to-20-year mark where the base prep starts to show. We work across all of these neighborhoods regularly. If you are in Vilonia or other communities in Faulkner County, our service area covers you as well.
