Additional Services We Offer
Home Remodeling
Remodeling in Cheltenham centers on thoughtful updates that honor each home's original character. Homes here have solid foundations—brick facades, classic layouts, Victorian details, rooms designed with purpose. Our work builds on that foundation, opening interiors where it makes sense, bringing natural light deeper into the home, and shaping spaces that feel comfortable, practical, and built for how families live today.
Outdoor Kitchens
Outdoor kitchens in Cheltenham function as true extensions of the home, not weekend projects. Stone counters shaped for cooking flow, covered structures that work through every season, and layouts that move easily from preparation to gathering.
Outdoor Living Spaces
Comfortable patios shaded by mature trees, fireplaces that anchor cool-weather nights, seating walls shaped for conversation, and walkways laid with stone or pavers that guide movement through gardens.
Exterior Renovation
Exterior renovation in Cheltenham is about elevating what's already there. A refreshed facade, new entry sequence, or rebuilt steps shifts the entire feel of the property without disrupting the home's integrity. We work with stone, brick, stucco, and slate in ways that preserve proportion and texture.
Kitchen Remodeling
We design kitchens that stay warm under use, with surfaces chosen for performance and finishes selected for quiet sophistication. Stone counters, tiled walls, custom cabinetry, and subtle metal accents come together with accuracy.
Bathroom Remodel
Clean tile lines, solid stone accents, organized fixtures, and lighting that supports calm routines. Every element, from waterproofing to ventilation, is integrated from the start.
History Preservation Services
Cheltenham's historic homes—including properties in the Wyncote and La Mott Historic Districts—call for restoration that respects scale, material, and era. We refine stone, restore brickwork, and rebuild architectural details with the same restraint used in the original construction.
What APS Provides as Your Cheltenham Masonry Contractor in Cheltenham
-
Full-Service Masonry
Cheltenham homes often combine classic brick construction with decorative stone accents and later additions, creating structures that require close reading of how each wall was originally built. Our skilled masons evaluate patterns in mortar, shifts in foundation lines, and the way older materials carry weight. This work supports structural integrity through wall repair services, masonry restoration, and targeted masonry repair that keeps the architecture stable without altering its character.
-
Brick Pointing
Brick pointing on Cheltenham properties demands technical accuracy. Mortar color, texture, and permeability influence the entire wall's performance. Our masons rebuild joints with blends tailored to the original brick, supporting structural health through freeze–thaw cycles and preventing moisture from settling behind the surface.
-
Chimney Installs and Repair
Chimney installations and repairs must balance performance and appearance. Many chimneys anchor large fireplaces or sit prominently above Victorian rooflines, making them central architectural features. We handle chimney repair and chimney install projects as full-system work: caps, liners, flues, masonry shells, and surrounding brickwork.
-
Custom Masonry Designs
Custom masonry in depends on scale, restraint, and material use. We design stone services and specialty features that enhance patios, garden edges, entries, and transitional outdoor areas. Each design reflects the property's architecture and the homeowner's preferred layout.
-
Bluestone Masonry
Bluestone is a natural fit for patios, walkways, and entertainment spaces. Its performance depends entirely on what sits beneath it. We prepare sites with accurate elevation plans, proper drainage, and bedding materials chosen for season-to-season stability.
-
Brownstone Masonry
Brownstone appears on some steps, sills, and architectural accents in the neighborhood. Its longevity depends on restoration methods that respect porosity and original finish. We repair surfaces with techniques suited to the stone's natural aging pattern, avoiding aggressive fillers that lead to early failure.
Our Masonry & Concrete Services – Foundations, Patios & Structural Work
-
Concrete Driveways
Driveways often serve as the property's first impression, whether leading to a detached garage or curving toward a brick-front entrance. We form and pour each driveway with attention to grade, water movement, and alignment with the home's architecture.
-
Concrete Steps
Steps play a functional and architectural role. They need to feel stable underfoot while matching the proportions of brick facades, stone accents, or decorative Victorian details. We rebuild steps with reinforced forms, clean rise-and-run ratios, and finishes that blend naturally into surrounding masonry.
-
Concrete Foundations
Local homes often include older foundations, additions, or basement levels that require precise evaluation and repair. We repair and construct foundations with techniques designed to prevent water infiltration, support heavy structural loads, and extend the life of the property.
-
Concrete Patios
Patios are built for both everyday use and large gatherings. Whether positioned near a garden edge, backyard terrace, or shaded outdoor room beneath the township's mature tree canopy, each patio must drain correctly and sit level through seasonal ground shifts.
-
Stamped Concrete
Stamped concrete offers a refined look without the maintenance demands of natural stone. Patterns inspired by slate, brick, or flagstone create a surface that feels substantial while staying practical for our area's weather.
-
Concrete Excavation
Excavation must be handled with care. Established lots, mature trees that create the township's signature tree-lined streets, existing walkways, and complex utility lines require precise planning. Our team uses compact equipment and staged access routes that protect the property while preparing the site for foundations, patios, or drainage installations.
Cheltenham-Specific Construction Considerations
These Township properties demand careful precision. Every masonry job requires a professional approach shaped by true expertise, steady coordination, and a clear understanding of how these structures behave over time. Our skilled contractors plan each phase carefully so your house receives work that fits both the architecture and the long-term masonry needs of the property.
-
Historic masonry integration and structural preservation
Many Cheltenham homes combine original brick construction with later stone accents or additions. The Wyncote and La Mott Historic Districts contain some of the township's most significant architecture. We stabilize these structures with restoration methods that respect the original build. Foundation repointing, structural tie-ins, and wall repair services are handled carefully, keeping the architecture intact while strengthening what supports it.
-
Material matching for Cheltenham's Victorian and period architecture
Brick types, mortar blends, stone accents, and period details vary widely across the Cheltenham area—from the Queen Anne homes of Wyncote to the brick twins of Melrose Park. Our team matches materials by tone, texture, and finish so every repair or restoration settles seamlessly into the existing masonry. This level of accuracy reflects the professional expertise expected on Cheltenham properties.
-
Access planning across residential lots and tree-lined streets
Cheltenham homes often sit on established lots with mature landscaping and street parking considerations. We stage equipment and create work paths that protect lawns, garden borders, and existing hardscaping. The site remains orderly from beginning to completion, giving homeowners confidence throughout the project.
-
Coordinated work with architects and construction teams
Larger renovations and high-value improvements in Cheltenham often involve architects, designers, or building managers. We coordinate each detail with the full team, ensuring the masonry scope aligns with structural goals, aesthetic requirements, and the overall vision for the property.
Your home benefits from masonry work shaped by real expertise and a clear understanding of how brick, stone, and foundation lines should perform over time. Whether you're preparing for a full restoration or refining one part of the property, APS can get it done for you.
