About MAC McAllen Masonry

Our Story and Commitment to McAllen

MAC McAllen Masonry was founded in 2025 with a simple mission: to bring honest, quality masonry work to homeowners and businesses throughout the Rio Grande Valley. We saw too many contractors cutting corners or overcharging for basic services, and we knew our community deserved better. Our founder started working in masonry right out of high school, learning the craft from seasoned professionals who taught him that every brick matters and every job reflects your character. After years of hands-on experience with residential and commercial projects, he decided to open MAC McAllen Masonry to serve the community he calls home.

We are proud to be locally owned and operated. That means when you call us, you are talking to your neighbors, not a faceless corporation. We understand the unique challenges that masonry faces in South Texas. The heat, humidity, and soil conditions here require specific techniques and materials that you can only learn from working in this environment. We have seen how improper mortar application can fail within months when contractors do not account for our climate. That is why we invest in ongoing education and stay current with the latest industry standards.

Professional Certifications and Recognition

Quality work starts with proper training and credentials. Our team holds licenses through the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, ensuring we meet state requirements for masonry contractors. We are fully insured with comprehensive general liability and workers compensation coverage, which protects both our crew and your property. Beyond the basics, we have earned certifications in specialized areas that set us apart from general contractors. Our lead technicians completed advanced training in structural masonry repair through the International Masonry Institute, giving them expertise in assessing and fixing foundation issues that threaten building integrity.

We also hold certifications from leading manufacturers including Cultured Stone and Eldorado Stone, which allows us to provide extended warranties on stone veneer installations. These partnerships mean we have direct access to technical support and premium materials that many contractors cannot offer. Our chimney specialists completed National Fireplace Institute certification courses, making us qualified to handle everything from routine inspections to complete chimney rebuilds that meet national safety codes. We have been recognized by local real estate agents as their preferred masonry contractor for pre-sale repairs, thanks to our reputation for honest assessments and quality workmanship that passes inspections.

Our Approach and What Sets Us Apart

Transparent Communication From Start to Finish

We believe you should never feel confused about what is happening with your property. Before we start any project, we walk you through the entire process step by step. You get a detailed written estimate that breaks down labor and materials, so there are no surprises when the bill arrives. During the work, we take photos at key stages and explain what we are doing and why it matters. If we discover additional issues, we stop and discuss options with you before proceeding. We never pressure you into unnecessary upgrades or scare you with exaggerated problems. Our goal is to give you enough information to make confident decisions about your home.

Skilled Craftsmanship Built on Experience

Masonry is as much art as it is construction. The difference between mediocre and exceptional work often comes down to attention to small details that most people never notice. When we do brick restoration, we match not just the color but also the texture and aging patterns of your existing masonry. Our mortar joints are consistent in depth and finish, creating clean lines that enhance rather than distract. We cut stone precisely to minimize visible seams in veneer work, and we build patios with proper slope for drainage that you can only see when it rains. This level of care takes time and skill that you develop through years of practice, not by rushing through jobs to maximize volume.

Respect for Your Property and Schedule

We understand that having contractors at your home disrupts your routine. That is why we show up when we say we will, clean up thoroughly at the end of each day, and protect your landscaping and existing structures from damage. Our crew wears identifiable company shirts and drives marked vehicles, so you always know who is working on your property. We communicate if weather or material delays affect our timeline rather than leaving you wondering what is happening. When we finish the job, we walk through the completed work with you to ensure you are satisfied before we ask for final payment. Many of our customers tell us they were surprised by how respectful and professional our team was, which is exactly the standard we set for every project.

Safety and Code Compliance Without Exceptions

Cutting corners on safety or building codes is never worth the risk. We pull proper permits for all work that requires them and schedule inspections to verify everything meets local standards. Our team follows OSHA safety protocols, uses proper fall protection when working at heights, and maintains equipment in good working condition. When we build retaining walls, we engineer them to handle soil pressure and drainage according to specifications. Our chimney work includes proper flashing installation and crown construction that prevents water intrusion and carbon monoxide hazards. If an existing structure does not meet current codes, we explain what needs updating and why it matters for your safety. This commitment to doing things right protects you from liability and ensures your masonry will last for decades.
