"We had a crack running from the corner of our front window straight to the ceiling - classic foundation movement. The crew showed up on time, explained what they found, and had it stabilized in two days. No drama, no upselling. Six months later the crack has not budged."
Marcus T., Cape Coral - Foundation repair
"Our chimney mortar was falling out in chunks after Ian. I called three places - these guys were the only ones who gave me a written estimate before asking me to commit to anything. The tuckpointing work blends in completely. You cannot tell it was ever repaired."
Sandra W., Bonita Springs - Tuckpointing
"Needed a retaining wall along the back of the property where the soil was eroding after heavy rain. The project came in on budget and finished a day ahead of schedule. The wall looks solid and has held up through two storm seasons without any movement."
David R., Estero - Retaining wall construction
We respond within 1 business day - no obligation, no pressure. After you submit, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for your schedule.

Most jobs are scheduled within the same week. If you are outside Fort Myers, we still come to you for the initial estimate at no charge.
Fort Myers sits on sandy, organic soils that absorb and release moisture quickly during rainy season. When soil under a slab gets saturated and then dries out repeatedly, it can wash away or compress - leaving voids that cause slab movement. The masonry contractor industry calls this "differential settling," and it is the leading cause of foundation calls in Lee County.
CBS (concrete block structure) construction dominates Fort Myers because it resists hurricane-force wind and termite damage better than wood frame. The mortar joints between blocks are the weak link - they need periodic inspection and repointing, especially on homes within a few miles of the Gulf where salt air accelerates breakdown.
In a dry northern climate, mortar joints can last 25 to 30 years. In Fort Myers, expect 15 to 20 years on well-protected walls and less on south- or west-facing surfaces that take direct sun and afternoon rain. Catching failing mortar early keeps the repair to a repointing job rather than a brick replacement project.
The best window is November through April - cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and outside storm season. Mortar cures better in mild conditions, and you avoid the scheduling crunch that happens every spring. That said, experienced local contractors work year-round. If your mortar is failing, do not wait for perfect weather.
Structural work - foundation repairs, chimney rebuilds, load-bearing wall changes - requires a Lee County building permit. Cosmetic repointing generally does not. The Fort Myers Building Department processes permits for jobs within city limits. We recommend checking the Lee County Building Department at leegov.com for current requirements.
It depends on the cause and your policy. Sudden storm damage may be covered - gradual settling usually is not. The Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation {" "} requires licensed contractors for structural repairs, which matters for claims. Document damage promptly with photos and use a licensed, permitted contractor to preserve your coverage.
The Brick Industry Association publishes detailed technical guidelines on mortar types, repair methods, and material selection for residential masonry.

Hairline cracks in mortar joints are usually cosmetic and can wait. Diagonal cracks stepping along the mortar line suggest soil movement beneath the structure and should be assessed by a mason soon. Horizontal cracks in block walls are the most urgent - they can signal structural pressure.
Small areas are manageable for a motivated homeowner. The critical step is grinding out the old mortar to three-quarters of an inch depth before applying new material. Applying fresh mortar over crumbling old mortar looks fine for a few months and then fails. Structural walls and chimney mortar should be left to a licensed contractor.
Verify their Florida contractor license at myfloridalicense.com before signing anything. Ask for a written, itemized estimate and confirmation that permits will be pulled for structural work. Get two or three estimates for any job over $1,000. A contractor who skips permits or pushes you to decide on the spot is one to avoid.
The Foundation Repair Association provides homeowner-facing resources on how to evaluate repair methods and contractor credentials. If you are unsure whether your masonry needs attention, the fastest way to find out is a free on-site assessment - call us at (239) 266-9050.
Fort Myers is a growing city on the Caloosahatchee River in Southwest Florida, home to roughly 87,000 residents as of the most recent Census estimates. Most of its housing stock was built between 1970 and 2005 - old enough that foundations, mortar joints, and masonry structures are starting to show the wear that comes from decades of subtropical heat, humidity, and hurricane exposure. The city is best known for the Edison and Ford Winter Estates along the river - a reminder that Fort Myers has a long history of built structures that deserve careful maintenance.
The city spans several distinct neighborhoods, from the older in-town areas near downtown Fort Myers River District to newer master-planned communities on the eastern outskirts near Gateway. Homes throughout the city are almost universally CBS (concrete block structure) construction with stucco exteriors - a building style that holds up well but requires specific masonry knowledge when repairs are needed. Many properties also back up to canals, which means increased salt air exposure and faster-than-average wear on exterior masonry surfaces.
Hurricane Ian made a direct hit on the Fort Myers area in September 2022, as reported by NPR and other outlets. The storm caused widespread structural damage across Lee County - and many homeowners are still discovering foundation movement, cracked block walls, and deteriorating mortar joints that trace back to that event. Fort Myers Concrete & Masonry has been serving Fort Myers since 2018 and continues to work on storm-related repairs alongside routine masonry maintenance across the city.
