About
Three generations of brick and stone.
Old Country Masonry was started in 1998 by a Croatian-trained mason and is now run by his sons. We are a local crew that restores Metro Detroit brick and stone, one home at a time.
Our story
Old tools. Honest accountability.
We learned masonry the old way. Lime mortar mixed by hand. Brick courses checked with a string line. No job is finished until the homeowner walks it with us. We pair that craft with written estimates, dated job photos, and straight answers from start to finish.
No call centers. No subcontracted travel crews. The mason who quotes your job is on the crew that builds it.

What we stand for
Four principles. No exceptions.
Craft First
Hand-mixed mortar, hand-laid brick. No shortcuts.
Licensed & Insured
Fully licensed and insured for your protection and peace of mind.
Local Accountability
Owner-operated. The mason who quotes you builds it.
Clean Sites
Sod repaired, brick swept, dumpster gone the day we finish.
The Pledge
Headache-free. No hidden fees.
Four written promises that govern every project we take.
Fixed-Price Quotes
Written line-item quotes. The number we send is the number you pay.
No Hidden Fees
No change-order games. Scope changes only with your written approval.
No Pressure Sales
We give you an estimate and leave. You decide on your timeline, not ours.
Same Crew, Start To Finish
The lead mason who quotes the job is on site every day until walkthrough.
The Craft
Precision mortar matching.
Most repairs fail aesthetically before they fail structurally. Our four-step matching protocol makes the new work disappear into the old.
- 01
Era Identification
We date the original brick course (pre-1920 lime, 1920 to 1950 hybrid, post-1950 Portland) before mixing a single batch.
- 02
Color Spectrum Match
Wet and dry mortar samples are compared against the original in three light conditions (morning, noon, late sun).
- 03
Aggregate Sourcing
Sand is sieved to match the grain size and tint of the original, sourced regionally rather than bagged off the shelf.
- 04
Sample Panel Approval
A 12-inch test panel is laid, cured 48 hours, and signed off by you before full repointing begins.
Reference Mix · Pre-1920 Lime
Sample panels are documented, dated and archived with your project file.
