Masonry Contractor in Draper, UT - Stone, Brick and Walls Built for Sloped Lots
Precision Lehi Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor from Lehi working in Draper, UT. We find out why brick, block or stone is failing before we repair it, and we build new retaining walls, walks and outdoor kitchens.
Draper: older brick and newer stone fronts
From our base in Lehi, Draper is just across the county line to the north, and the homes we work on there tend to fall into two groups. Around the older middle of town, near the town center, there are houses with brick and chimneys that have been through a lot of seasons, and the calls are usually about worn mortar and leaks. Farther out, newer subdivisions have stone veneer and brick on the fronts and bigger backyards that get used hard.
That mix decides most of our work here. On the older homes the job is matching brick and mortar that's been in place for decades, and on the newer ones it's usually veneer, walls and yard work on lots that slope more than they look from the street.

Masonry work we do in Draper
Masonry restoration
Older brick homes near the middle of Draper often show worn joints and flaking brick faces. Our masonry restoration repairs what's failing to match what's still sound.
Stone veneer installation
Newer Draper homes often have stone veneer across the front. When stones crack or loosen, we find out why before resetting any, so it's not just a patch.
Retaining wall construction
Sloped backyards on Draper's east side often need a wall to level them. We build block and stone walls with drainage so water doesn't build up behind them.
Walkway construction
Homes backing onto Draper's trails often want a path out to the back gate. We build stone and paver walks on a well-packed base so they stay even.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Big Draper backyards get used well into the evening. We build grill islands and outdoor kitchens in block, brick or stone around how you cook.
Foundation block wall installation
Additions and detached backyard units go up across Draper, and each needs a solid base. We lay reinforced block foundation walls square and true for the framers.
Working in Draper: permits, inspections and slopes
Permits for building and remodeling in Draper come from the city's Building Division, which reviews the plans and sends inspectors out to check the work against local and state building rules. That puts part of your schedule on the city's calendar, so when your job needs a permit, I go over what it calls for at the estimate, and we file the application and book the inspections ourselves. If you're comparing contractors, the city doesn't ask contractors based elsewhere who come in for a job to hold a Draper business license, so don't count that against an out-of-town crew like ours, and ask instead whether they're licensed and insured, which we are. Price moves with the size of the job, the brick, block or stone you choose, and what we find once the old work is open.
On the east side, lots climb toward Corner Canyon, and getting block, stone and mortar to the back of a steep yard takes some planning, so I look at access and where we can stage material before I price anything. We do the same kinds of jobs just to the north in Sandy and South Jordan, and the drive down from Lehi over the Point of the Mountain is a short one, so a Draper site visit is easy to fit in.

Brick, block and stone for Draper homes
Draper masonry questions, answered
Do I need a permit for masonry work when I remodel my Draper home?
Yes, Draper requires a building permit when a home is remodeled or something new is built, and the city inspects that work too. If you're not sure your job counts as a remodel, I'll go over it at the estimate, and when it needs a permit, we take care of the paperwork.
How do I apply for a retaining wall permit in Draper?
You apply through Draper's online services portal after registering for an account, and the portal keeps a submittal checklist for retaining walls. When we're building your wall and it needs a permit, we put that application together for you.
How long does a permitted masonry job take in Draper?
Longer than the masonry alone, because Draper doesn't offer same-day inspections and doesn't guarantee the date and time you request. We ask for inspections ahead and plan each stage of the work around them, and I'll walk you through that order at the estimate.
What permit does a backyard ADU need in Draper?
An accessory dwelling unit, a living unit added to, built inside or detached from a single-family home on the same lot, needs a permit from the city's Planning division and no business license. If yours is a detached unit going up on a block foundation, we can lay those walls once your plans are set.
Does Draper require a soils report before building a new home foundation?
Yes, before the city accepts plans and a permit application for a new home, it has to have reviewed, approved and accepted a geotechnical engineering report for the parcel, which is a study of the ground. The permit also has to be ready to issue when you apply, so we lay block foundation walls once that's in place and to the plans that come out of it.
How much does masonry work cost in Draper, UT?
There's no single price, because in Draper the cost mostly follows how steep and reachable your yard is, how closely new stone or brick has to match what's on the house, and whether a permit and inspections are part of the job. I'll give you your own figure after I've seen it in person at the estimate.
