Yes, Chelo's Brick & Stone takes on commercial masonry work, including CMU block walls, brick veneer on commercial buildings, site retaining walls, and repair or repointing on existing commercial structures. The same freeze-thaw and footing principles that apply to residential work apply here, just at a larger scale.
Commercial masonry covers a wider range than most people expect: structural CMU block for a new building shell, brick or stone veneer on the exterior of an office or retail space, retaining walls that hold back a graded parking lot or loading area, and straightforward repair work like repointing on an older commercial building that's shedding mortar.
Commercial jobs usually mean tighter coordination: working around a business's operating hours, staging materials on a site that other trades are also using, and building to plans an architect or engineer already stamped rather than designing from scratch. The masonry itself still has to be built right, footings below frost line, proper drainage behind any retaining wall, correct mortar type for the block or brick being used.
We work directly with property owners as well as general contractors and builders on commercial jobs. If you're a GC managing the rest of a build and need the masonry portion handled, that's a normal part of what we do, see our note on working with builders for how that process usually goes.
