I am a third generation mason with over 40 years experience in the masonry industry. I do masonry restorations and repairs. I believe the true measure of success is satisfied customers and my number one priority is customer satisfaction. I will always operate my business with honesty and ethics above all else. A lot of the masonry projects over the last 20 years, especially in Texas, have been performed by semi-skilled tradesmen and the need for skilled craftsmen has never been greater. I do the work myself or with my son, a fourth generation mason. We would like an opportunity to serve you, restore, and repair your brick or stone. We also do room additions and new construction and look forward to working with you. References available, insured for your protection.
did what he said he would do. did a good job matching the morter especially sense we have an older home.

Dennis (and Ross, the man he had working for him/ with him, )were just what we wanted. Professional, honest, and hard working. The agreed upon repairs to our patio and outdoor fireplace project turned out great. Dennis listened to our ideas and gently led us in the right direction when we had our own opinions. Later, looking at the finished product, I’m so glad we listened to him. The grout color I had offered would have NEVER looked right. We are very pleased. The price he quoted for the work he did felt right. He didn’t price gouge, even in this economy. We would highly recommend.

Ltc was able to come up with a creative solutions for damage to an 8' x 3'garage wall with custom brick The wall needed to be taken apart cleaned and relayed.. LTC drove to Tyler to find matching brick and squeezed me in between his larger projects. The work was beautifully done and matched perfectly. He kept his work area very neat. Extremely polite. Would highly recommend!

Dennis did an outstanding job on the repair of brick on my porch and other areas where the bricks had broken or had come loose around windows and the side of my home. HIs professionalism, work ethic, and reliability from the beginning of the project to the end was excellent. I would highly recommend him for any masonry project. He has many years of experience and knowledge so that any project would be done and handled with the utmost care and expertise.

Dennis earns a 5 star rating for his fair pricing, reliability, work ethic and quality of work. We contracted with Dennis after visiting with several masons, and selected him because of his humility, quiet professionalism, extensive work history and earlier work he did as a subcontractor for a remodel project we had hired another contractor for. This project was rebuilding our living room fireplace and two additional brick and stone pillars for an outdoor porch extension. We did not have a specific design in mind, preferring to leave that up to Dennis and his assistantâ s craftsmanship. He (they) did not disappoint. The design was original, complimentary to the home interior and more than we expected. Recommend without a smidgen of reservation. A real pro, who delivers more than expected, which is a rarity in East Texas.

Dennis Smelly of LTC Brick and Stone did an outstanding job on our stone repair job and we highly recommend him. Dennis has been in the business a long time and has built the reputation that consistently earns him a 5 star rating. He is punctual and will let you know if he is running late for the appointment. Dennis was immediately able to determine that the workmanship on the stone installation was poor; the previous contractor used too much sand in the mortar so that it was not going to last. Before he started, Dennis dropped by to pick up a sample of the stone so that he could match it with the stone he needed to purchase. He was more concerned than we were about matching the exact color of the mortar! Looking at all the repairs now, you would never know that it ever needed repair. Itâ s beautiful and now, will last for years to come.

Dennis repaired our chimney due to spalling. He rebuilt several rows of bricks. He did a great job at a reasonable price. Would hire him again if the need arises.

I had an odd shaped hole knocked in an outside brick wall by a plumber to get to a leak in the kitchen wall. Dennis, with LTC Brick and Stone, far exceeded my expectations at repairing this hole. I could not have been more pleased. He is polite, professional and a Christian. Such a winner of combined traits. I highly recommend him.

Dennis Smelley and his crew at LTC Brick & Stone did a fantastic job on our stone wall. He obviously understands the importance not only of the science of masonry work but the art as well. We couldn't be more pleased!

My stone mailbox needed to be rebuilt. The initial build was completed by an employee of Dennis and was not satisfactory. Dennis stood behind his work and tore down and rebuilt the structure to my satisfaction.
