Serving Conway, AR and surrounding areas. (501) 273-0789
Conway Masonry & Concrete is a masonry contractor serving Maumelle, AR, providing stone veneer installation, brick repair, tuckpointing, and retaining wall construction for the city's 1980s through 2000s brick homes. We have served the central Arkansas area since 2020 and reply to every new request within one business day.
Maumelle homeowners are updating the curb appeal of their 1980s and 1990s brick-front homes, and stone veneer is one of the most popular ways to modernize a facade without a full rebuild. Our stone veneer installation work covers accent sections, full gable faces, columns, and retaining wall caps - all installed with proper moisture barriers and flashing to handle central Arkansas rain.
Most homes in Maumelle were built between the mid-1980s and early 2000s, and at that age brick veneer exteriors begin to show spalling, cracked faces, and settled sections where the mortar has given way. Maumelle's clay soil shifts with every wet and dry cycle, and that movement is the most common reason brick and mortar fail on homes here. We match replacement brick and mortar color to the original so repairs are seamless.
Brick homes in Maumelle that are 25 to 40 years old often have mortar joints that have shrunk, cracked, or eroded below the brick face. Once mortar recedes, water enters the wall during the heavy spring rains central Arkansas sees every year, and that moisture accelerates damage through every subsequent winter freeze-thaw cycle. Tuckpointing removes the failed mortar and replaces it with fresh material that seals the wall and stops the cycle.
Maumelle was built into hilly, wooded terrain near Pinnacle Mountain, and many homes sit on sloped lots where the yard drops away behind the house. Without a properly constructed retaining wall, that slope erodes with every rain and creates drainage problems that work back toward the foundation. We build block and stone retaining walls with footed footings and drainage gravel behind them - designed for the soil and rainfall conditions specific to this area.
Maumelle's owner-occupied residential character means homeowners invest in permanent solutions rather than temporary fixes. A concrete block privacy or property-line wall is a low-maintenance boundary that holds up to central Arkansas's humidity and freeze-thaw winters far better than wood fencing. These walls also carry value when homes sell in Maumelle's above-average home value market.
Homes on Maumelle's wooded and sloped lots face ongoing drainage and soil movement challenges that can gradually stress slab foundations. The clay soil that covers much of central Arkansas expands when it absorbs Maumelle Lake-area runoff and contracts during summer dry spells, and that cycle puts cumulative pressure on concrete slabs over decades. We assess, repair, and address the drainage conditions that cause the problem in the first place.
Maumelle was developed as a planned community starting in the early 1970s, with most of its housing built between the mid-1980s and late 1990s. That concentrated construction window means a large share of the city's homes are now 25 to 40 years old - the exact age range when brick veneer mortar has reached or exceeded its service life, when concrete driveways and sidewalks have been through enough freeze-thaw cycles to develop cracks, and when original landscape features need to be assessed or replaced. Maumelle's clay-heavy soil is the underlying driver behind much of this wear. The soil swells when it absorbs the 50 inches of annual rainfall central Arkansas receives and shrinks back during dry stretches, and that movement stresses every masonry element on the property year after year.
The city's geography adds another layer of complexity. Maumelle sits between the Arkansas River to the south and Maumelle Lake to the north, and many neighborhoods were built into hilly, wooded terrain with natural drainage paths that cross residential lots. Homes on sloped lots near Pinnacle Mountain State Park deal with erosion and drainage conditions that flat-lot homes elsewhere in central Arkansas do not face. Winters in Maumelle are mild but real - temperatures cross below freezing dozens of times per season, and any water sitting in a cracked mortar joint or concrete surface expands when it freezes, advancing the damage further with each cycle. A contractor who has not worked these specific soil and slope conditions will miss important details at the assessment stage.
Our crew works throughout Maumelle regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect masonry work here. The brick-front homes built in Maumelle's original planned subdivisions in the late 1980s and early 1990s are the most common property type we encounter - single-family homes on modest to mid-size lots, often with a sloped rear yard and mature trees that contribute to drainage and root-related concrete issues. Structural masonry permits for Maumelle properties are reviewed by the City of Maumelle Community Development Department, and we manage that process as part of every project that requires it.
The Highway 100 corridor and Maumelle Boulevard are the main routes we use to reach neighborhoods across the city, from the older sections near Maumelle Community Park to the newer streets that have been added along the city's northern edge. Homeowners in Maumelle tend to own their properties for the long term - the city has a high owner-occupancy rate and above-average home values for the region, which means most of the people we work for want the job done right rather than done cheap. We also serve nearby Little Rock, AR, just 12 miles to the southeast, for homeowners in that area looking for the same level of masonry work.
We also cover North Little Rock, AR across the river, where the mid-century brick housing stock presents a different set of masonry challenges. If you are in Maumelle and need an assessment, call us or submit a form and we will schedule a site visit within one business day.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form on this page. We reply to every Maumelle inquiry within one business day to confirm details and schedule a site visit.

For projects that require a City of Maumelle permit, we pull it before work begins. You do not need to be present during most masonry work, but we keep you updated on progress and any findings that affect the scope.
We clean up the work area before leaving and walk you through what was done. For mortar or veneer work, we note any cure time recommendations so you know how to care for the new work during the first few weeks.

(501) 273-0789Maumelle is a planned community of approximately 18,000 residents located about 12 miles northwest of downtown Little Rock along the Arkansas River. The city was designed from scratch starting in the early 1970s and incorporated in 1985, which means its neighborhoods are notably uniform in age - the vast majority of homes were built between the mid-1980s and late 1990s. The housing stock is predominantly single-family, owner-occupied, brick-front ranch and two-story homes on modest lots, with a high rate of long-term residents. Home values in Maumelle are consistently above the Arkansas state median, reflecting a community where people invest in their properties and expect quality results when they hire contractors.
The city is geographically defined by two water features: the Arkansas River along its southern edge and Maumelle Lake to the north, which serves as a drinking water reservoir and recreational area. Much of the city's terrain is hilly and wooded, with neighborhoods built near Pinnacle Mountain State Park, one of the most recognized landmarks in central Arkansas. Maumelle functions primarily as a residential suburb, with most residents commuting to Little Rock or North Little Rock for work. For homeowners in the neighboring areas, we also serve Sherwood, AR to the northeast - another Pulaski County community with a similar 1970s through 1990s brick ranch housing stock that presents comparable masonry repair needs.
