Serving Conway, AR and surrounding areas. (501) 273-0789
Conway Masonry & Concrete is a masonry contractor serving North Little Rock, AR, specializing in brick repair, tuckpointing, and foundation repair. We have worked on mid-century brick homes across the city since 2020, with next-business-day scheduling and written estimates before any work starts.
North Little Rock has one of the largest concentrations of mid-century brick ranch homes in central Arkansas, and after 50 or more years of freeze-thaw winters and summer heat, most of them need some level of mortar or brick attention. Our brick repair work includes color-matched mortar, salvaged brick sourcing for older homes, and a clean finish that blends with the existing wall.
Mortar on North Little Rock homes built in the 1950s and 1960s is often well past its service life, especially on south- and west-facing walls. Tuckpointing removes the worn material and presses in fresh mortar that seals the wall against the heavy spring rains and hard freezes that this city sees every winter.
Homes near the Arkansas River floodplain in North Little Rock can experience hydrostatic pressure on their foundations after heavy spring rains, and the city's low-lying neighborhoods are prone to drainage problems that accelerate foundation movement. We address the structural repair and flag drainage issues that would cause the problem to come back.
Sloped lots in neighborhoods throughout North Little Rock erode steadily under the city's heavy spring rainfall, and older landscape ties rot and fail over time. A masonry retaining wall built on a proper footing handles the load that wood timbers cannot and lasts decades without replacement.
Chimneys on North Little Rock's older brick ranch homes are often the first place mortar damage shows up because they sit fully exposed to weather from every direction. Cracked chimney caps and deteriorating mortar joints are a direct path for water into the attic, and the repairs are straightforward when caught before the flue liner is affected.
Many North Little Rock driveways poured in the 1970s and 1980s are now cracked or heaved by tree roots and the city's freeze-thaw cycles. Paver driveways installed with a proper compacted base handle that movement better than poured concrete and are easier to repair if a section shifts later.
North Little Rock has a median home age around 1969, which means a large share of its housing stock is more than 50 years old. A city built on brick ranch homes is a city that needs consistent masonry maintenance, and most of those homes have not had mortar work done since they were built. The freeze-thaw cycle that central Arkansas experiences every winter is the main driver of that backlog. Temperatures in Pulaski County drop below freezing dozens of times per season, often swinging 30 or 40 degrees in a single day, and every one of those swings works on any cracked mortar joint. What starts as a hairline crack in a single cold season can become a gap wide enough to let water into the wall by the following spring.
The city's location along the north bank of the Arkansas River adds another dimension. Low-lying neighborhoods are in flood zones, and the water table in parts of the city is close enough to the surface that heavy spring rainfall can push against foundations from outside rather than just flowing around them. Homes in Argenta - the oldest part of the city - often have original construction from the early 1900s with materials and methods that a contractor unfamiliar with historic masonry might damage rather than repair. A masonry contractor who works regularly in North Little Rock knows to ask the right questions before pricing a job on a historic property.
Our crew works throughout North Little Rock regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect masonry work here. The Argenta Arts District is one of the most distinctive masonry environments we work in - the historic brick buildings and older residential streets require careful material matching and an understanding of how original early-1900s construction behaves differently from the postwar ranch homes found in the rest of the city.
In neighborhoods like Park Hill, Indian Hills, and Lakewood, we see the typical pattern of 1950s and 1960s brick ranch homes where the mortar has simply reached the end of its service life. Homeowners in these areas are usually dealing with a maintenance issue that has been building for years rather than sudden damage. Being close to Burns Park and Dickey-Stephens Park means we are familiar with the full geography of the city and can reach any neighborhood efficiently.
We also serve neighboring Sherwood, AR, which shares similar housing stock and climate conditions with the north side of North Little Rock. Homeowners on either side of that line can expect the same thorough assessment and written estimate process.
Call or submit the estimate form on this site. We reply within one business day to arrange an on-site visit at a time that works around your schedule.
We inspect the full scope of the problem - not just the surface damage - and deliver a written estimate before any work is scheduled. You know exactly what you are paying for and why, with no add-ons after the project starts.
We pull required permits for structural jobs, show up on the agreed date, and work through the project on schedule. Most brick repair and tuckpointing jobs wrap up in one to three days. You do not need to be home the whole time.
When the job is done, we walk through the finished work with you and go over any maintenance steps - like keeping fresh mortar dry for the first 24 to 48 hours and directing water away from repaired sections during heavy rain.

(501) 273-0789North Little Rock is Arkansas's fourth-largest city, sitting directly across the Arkansas River from Little Rock with a population of roughly 65,000 people. The city is divided into distinct neighborhoods that each have their own character and housing story. Argenta, the historic downtown district, has some of the oldest streets and buildings in the city, with early 1900s homes and commercial brick buildings that have been steadily revitalized in recent years. Park Hill and Indian Hills are quiet residential neighborhoods filled with the 1950s and 1960s brick ranch homes that define much of the city's housing stock. Burns Park, one of the largest city parks in the United States at over 1,700 acres, runs along the northern edge of the city and provides a green anchor for neighborhoods on that side of town.
About 55% of North Little Rock's housing units are owner-occupied, with the remainder being rentals - a mix that means a steady population of homeowners who are actively maintaining properties that in many cases are more than 50 years old. The city's brick-heavy building culture goes back to the mid-century period when brick ranch construction was the standard for new homes throughout central Arkansas, and that legacy means masonry maintenance is a routine part of homeownership here in a way it might not be in cities with newer housing stock. If you are in neighboring Sherwood, our service area covers you as well.
