Structural Masonry and CMU Block Walls
Reinforced CMU block gives commercial buildings a strong, fire-resistant, low-maintenance structure. We lay block to line and level, place vertical and horizontal reinforcement, grout cells, and set embeds and anchors to the structural drawings. Proper reinforcement and grouting matter for seismic and wind performance, and we build to the engineer's specifications and local code every time.
Brick Facades and Stone Veneer
A well-built brick facade or stone veneer defines a building's identity while shielding the structure from weather. We install continuous flashing, weep systems, air gaps, and corrosion-resistant ties so moisture drains rather than collecting behind the wall. Clean mortar joints, consistent coursing, and crisp detailing around windows and openings deliver the finished look owners and tenants expect.
Our Process, Step by Step
- Consultation and scope review — we walk the project, review drawings, and understand goals and budget.
- Estimate and planning — detailed proposal covering materials, means, and methods.
- Permitting and coordination — we work within Spokane County and City of Spokane permitting and inspection requirements and coordinate with your other trades.
- Construction — layout, reinforcement, laying, grouting, flashing, and finishing.
- Inspection and cleanup — we support required inspections and leave a clean, tuned wall.
Materials and Options
Every project is different, so we help you weigh concrete block, clay brick, natural stone, and manufactured stone against appearance, structural role, maintenance, and budget. We describe options in generic terms and specify products suited to a commercial envelope in our climate, then match mortar type, color, and joint profile to the architectural intent.
Built for the Inland Northwest Climate
Spokane's cold, snowy winters put masonry through relentless freeze-thaw cycles. Water that gets into a wall and freezes is what cracks joints and spalls brick over time, so we build assemblies that manage moisture and drainage from the start. Attention to flashing, drainage, expansion and control joints, snow loading at site walls, and energy-efficient detailing helps your masonry perform for the long haul across our four-season climate.

In most cases, yes. When repairing or expanding an existing facade, we work to match brick or stone color, size, mortar type, and joint profile as closely as available materials allow. For restoration and tuckpointing, careful matching helps the repaired area blend with the original masonry.

Yes. Stonegate Builders is a licensed general contractor registered in Washington State, and like any properly registered contractor we are bonded and insured. We build to the structural drawings and local code and support the required inspections on every commercial masonry project.
Masonry is durable and low-maintenance, but it must be detailed to manage moisture. Spokane's freeze-thaw cycles crack joints and spall brick when water gets trapped inside a wall. We install flashing, weep systems, air gaps, and control joints so moisture drains, helping your masonry perform for the long haul in our four-season climate.
Structural masonry, such as reinforced CMU block, carries building loads and forms part of the structure itself. Veneer, whether brick or stone, is an exterior cladding attached to a backup wall for appearance and weather protection rather than for support.
Many commercial buildings combine both, and we build each to the appropriate code and engineering requirements.
Yes. We are based in Spokane and serve the greater Spokane area and the Inland Northwest, including Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Mead, Cheney, Deer Park, and surrounding communities. Reach out with your location and project details and we will let you know how we can help.
