Concrete & masonry in Clintonville
HOME SERVICES · CLINTONVILLE, COLUMBUS · ALPHABETICAL · PLACEMENT NEVER SOLD
Clintonville’s homes are beautiful and old — the neighborhood’s median house was built in 1953, and over a quarter predate 1940. That age shows up first in the masonry and concrete: brick chimneys and porch piers pointed with the softer lime-based mortars of their era, and driveways and walks that have survived seventy Ohio freeze-thaw winters on expansive clay soil.
What Verity-Verified means: every listed business’s identity and services are checked against its own published information, with the date shown — and registration checks are shown the moment they complete, never before. Placement is never sold; listings are ordered alphabetically.
A note on credentials for this trade: Ohio has no statewide license for concrete or masonry contractors (unlike plumbing, HVAC, and electrical). In Columbus, the checkable credential is the city’s contractor registration through Building & Zoning Services (Columbus Building Code Ch. 4114), which requires a $25,000 surety bond and proof of liability insurance. That registration — not a state license — is what our verification checks for this category, and our listings say so plainly rather than implying a license that doesn’t exist.

Common questions in Clintonville homes
Why does old brick need special mortar? Brick laid before roughly WWII was usually pointed with softer, lime-rich mortar. Repointing it with modern high-Portland mortar makes the joints harder than the brick itself — so seasonal movement and moisture escape through the brick faces instead, and the brick spalls. A mason who asks how old your house is before quoting a tuckpointing job is asking the right first question.
Repair, resurface, or replace a cracking driveway? Honest answer: it depends on what the base is doing. Surface cracks on a stable slab can be sealed or resurfaced; widespread cracking, heaving, or settlement usually means the base has moved — common on Central Ohio clay — and resurfacing over a failed base buys only a few seasons. A trustworthy contractor will tell you which situation you have rather than defaulting to the biggest job.
