Commercial Services

Commercial Masonry Contractor

Brick, block, and stone for storefronts and commercial buildings, laid straight, tied in, and built to last.

On a commercial building, masonry is the first thing a customer sees and the last thing you want to repair. A bowed wall, veneer that was never tied to the structure, or joints that let water behind the brick turn into spalling, rust stains, and a callback that closes part of your storefront. GM Tile Designs is a family-owned company with decades of masonry experience, and we build commercial brick, block, and stone to stand straight and stay dry. We serve The Woodlands, Tomball, and the greater Houston area.

What's Included

  • Storefront and Facade Masonry

    Brick and stone veneer, columns, and accent walls for retail, restaurant, and office exteriors that read clean and hold up.

  • Structural Block Work

    Concrete block walls and load-bearing masonry laid level and plumb, tied and reinforced to the engineer's plan.

  • Tied and Flashed Right

    Veneer is anchored to the structure and flashed so water drains out, not behind the wall where it does damage.

  • Repair and Tuckpointing

    We cut out failed mortar and repoint joints, reset loose brick, and patch veneer before water spreads through the wall.

Commercial Masonry Built to the Plan

Commercial masonry has a smaller margin for error than most people think. A storefront wall that runs out of plumb is obvious from the parking lot. Veneer that nobody anchored to the structure pulls away and cracks. Joints tooled the wrong way hold water instead of shedding it, and on a block wall that means efflorescence, spalling, and rust at the ties. The repair on a finished building costs far more than building it right the first time, and it can shut down part of your space while it happens.

We have laid brick, block, and stone for decades. We pour solid footings, keep every course level and plumb, tool the joints to shed water, and tie and flash veneer to the structure the way the plan calls for. On structural block we reinforce to the engineer's drawings. The same hands that hold a tight grout line on tile bring that control to a masonry wall, which is why we run commercial tile and masonry together on so many jobs. Whether it is a new facade, a block wall, or a repair, we build it to stand.

Commercial masonry we take on

  • Brick and stone facades, columns, and accent walls for storefronts and offices.
  • Structural and screen block walls laid plumb and reinforced.
  • Trash enclosures, site walls, and planters in matching brick or stone.
  • Tuckpointing, repointing, and veneer repair to stop water before it spreads.

A Trade Partner Who Hits the Schedule

General contractors keep a mason on the job who shows up on time, keeps the area clean for the next trade, and passes inspection without a callback. That is how we work. Our family-owned company completed the full tile and masonry package for a Chick-fil-A franchise build-out in Tomball, so we are comfortable on a commercial site, working into a construction sequence, and building to a passing inspection. Skilled craftsmen are on site every day, we are insured, and you get the scope and price in writing before we mobilize.

We are based in Magnolia and serve The Woodlands, Tomball, and communities across Montgomery and Harris counties. On the commercial side, the GCs who used us once call us back. This masonry scope is one part of our full commercial services, and when a project needs the trades together we run it with our restaurant and franchise build-out package. Builders and owners around The Woodlands and Tomball call us when the wall has to be right.
