Masonry Contractor in Kearns, UT
Much of the housing in Kearns dates from before 1980. We repair, repoint and rebuild brick and block across Kearns, and work with the Municipal Services District when a permit is needed.
Older housing, by the numbers
Kearns' 2022 Moderate Income Housing Plan, using 2020 American Community Survey data, reported that 59.4% of housing units were built before 1980 and 30.4% before 1960. Those are dated estimates, but they describe a community where a lot of masonry has decades of weather behind it.

Kearns Masonry FAQs
The Greater Salt Lake Municipal Services District (MSD Building Services).
Not necessarily. Age alone does not answer it; the Utah Division of Emergency Management explains how unreinforced masonry is identified and why an evaluation is needed.
It keeps water out of the wall and protects the brick. It does not strengthen the home against earthquakes (FEMA).
