Masonry Contractor in Bountiful, UT

Bountiful has a National Register historic district at its center and specific retaining wall requirements. We repair chimneys and brick, restore older masonry and build engineered walls across the city.

Retaining walls: engineering and inspections

Bountiful's retaining wall handout, linked from the city's Building page, requires a permit for walls four feet tall or taller and a site specific design stamped by a Utah registered civil, structural or geotechnical engineer (Retaining Wall Permit Requirements).

Covered walls get city inspections, and the engineer of record provides inspection reports. The handout is dated December 2021, so confirm it is current with the Building Department.

The Bountiful Historic District

The National Park Service records the Bountiful Historic District, bounded generally by 200 West, 500 South, 400 East and 400 North, as significant for its architecture and community development (National Register record). For older masonry there, the usual care applies: compatible mortar, gentle cleaning and matched replacement units (masonry restoration).

Davis County windstorms and chimneys

Downslope windstorms are a documented hazard in Davis County. The National Weather Service recorded a 102 mph gust in nearby Centerville during the December 2011 event (NWS), and the county's emergency management history covers the same storm (Davis County). After a major wind event, look over your chimney from the ground for loose brick, a shifted cap or damaged flashing.
