Working with Windsor Heights' Established Properties
Windsor Heights is one of the older suburbs in the Des Moines metro, and many homes here date back to the 1950s and 1960s. These properties have beautiful original brickwork, but decades of Iowa weather take their toll. We regularly work on tuckpointing projects throughout the city, restoring mortar joints that have crumbled or washed out. This work isn't just cosmetic. Damaged mortar lets water seep behind the brick, which can freeze in winter and cause serious structural problems.
Chimneys are another common concern in Windsor Heights. Many older homes have brick chimneys that lean slightly or show cracks near the roofline. These issues develop over time as foundations settle and mortar deteriorates. We inspect chimneys carefully, checking for loose bricks, damaged flashing, and interior flue problems. Sometimes a partial rebuild is enough, but in other cases, we recommend a complete rebuild to ensure safety. Your family deserves a chimney that works properly and won't pose a fire hazard or let cold air into your home during winter.
Making the Most of Compact Yards in Windsor Heights
Properties in Windsor Heights tend to have smaller lots compared to newer suburbs like Waukee or Johnston. That means homeowners need to be creative with outdoor spaces. We help maximize your yard with custom paver patios, built-in seating walls, and compact fire pits that fit perfectly in tight spaces. A well-designed patio can transform a small backyard into a functional outdoor living area where you can relax and entertain guests.
Retaining walls also come into play here, especially in areas with sloped yards near Colby Park or along University Avenue. These walls create level terraces that give you more usable space while preventing soil erosion. We use materials that complement your home's existing style, whether that's natural stone, concrete block, or brick. Every project starts with careful measurements and planning to ensure the finished product looks great and functions properly. Your yard might be small, but it can still be beautiful and practical with the right masonry work.

Masonry Maintenance for Windsor Heights Properties
Regular maintenance extends the life of your masonry and prevents expensive repairs down the road. Here in Windsor Heights, where many homes are 50 to 70 years old, this matters even more. We recommend inspecting your brickwork every few years, especially after harsh winters. Look for crumbling mortar, cracks in bricks, or white staining called efflorescence that indicates moisture problems. Catching these issues early means simpler, less expensive fixes.
Steps and walkways also need attention. Brick or stone steps that shift or crack become safety hazards, particularly in winter when ice forms. We repair or rebuild steps to meet current safety standards while preserving the character of your home. Foundation waterproofing is another service that protects your investment. Water seeping through foundation walls damages interiors and weakens structures over time. We apply proper waterproofing membranes and ensure drainage directs water away from your home. Windsor Heights properties have stood for decades, and with proper care, they'll stand for many more. We help you protect your home with quality masonry maintenance.
