Professional Masonry Contractor in Pine Hills FL - Built to Handle Florida

Most Pine Hills homes were built between the 1960s and 1980s using concrete block construction - a building method that holds up well in Florida's climate but requires consistent maintenance as the materials age. At 40 to 60 years old, the stucco exteriors on these homes have gone through thousands of wet-dry cycles, and the original mortar joints in block walls and chimneys have often softened to the point where water can penetrate. The combination of Orange County's summer storm season - which delivers heavy rain almost daily from June through September - and intense UV exposure the rest of the year means exterior masonry takes a beating year after year.

Pine Hills also has a notable share of rental and investor-owned properties where maintenance has sometimes been deferred over the years. Homes that have had multiple tenants often have exterior crack repairs that were painted over rather than properly addressed, plumbing penetrations that were never sealed, and concrete flatwork - driveways, walkways, patios - that has been left to crack and settle without attention. A masonry contractor who regularly works in Pine Hills knows what to look for on these older CBS properties and can prioritize the repairs that will have the biggest impact on keeping the home dry and structurally sound.

Pine Hills is a large unincorporated community in Orange County, sitting directly west of Orlando and home to roughly 66,000 to 75,000 residents depending on the census source. The community developed rapidly in the 1950s through 1970s and was marketed as the "City of Progress" during that period - a name long-time residents still recognize. Colonial Drive (US-50) runs east-west through the center of Pine Hills and is the main commercial corridor most residents rely on daily. The area borders State Road 408 (the East-West Expressway) to the south, giving residents quick access to downtown Orlando and the broader metro. You can read more about the community's history on the Pine Hills Wikipedia article.

The housing stock in Pine Hills is predominantly single-story concrete block ranch homes built between the 1960s and 1980s. At 40 to 60 years old, these homes are well-built but increasingly in need of the kind of masonry maintenance that keeps CBS construction performing the way it was designed to. The neighboring communities of Rosemont and Orlovista border Pine Hills and share similar housing stock and conditions. We also work regularly in nearby Orlando for homeowners in those adjoining neighborhoods who need the same type of concrete block and stucco expertise we bring to Pine Hills every day.
