Local Masonry Specialists in Philadelphia
SMG Plastering INC provides professional masonry throughout Philadelphia, PA. Our crews work out of 830 Crum Creek Road, Media, PA 19063, so Philadelphia projects get an owner-supervised team that already knows the neighbourhoods, the building stock and the conditions that cause masonry problems here.
Masonry is permanent when it's done right and expensive when it isn't. SMG Plastering INC builds and restores brick, block and natural stone across Media, Haverford, West Chester and Delaware County: retaining and garden walls, chimneys, front steps and stoops, columns and piers, fireplaces, window sills, and full stone veneer facades.
Philadelphia's building stock is unlike anywhere else in the region: block after block of solid masonry rowhomes, party walls shared between neighbors, parapets and cornices exposed on every side, and a century or more of layered repairs. SMG Plastering INC works throughout the city — South Philly, Fishtown, Manayunk, Chestnut Hill, Northeast and West Philadelphia — on the specific problems that architecture creates.
Every Philadelphia project begins with a free on-site assessment and a written, itemized proposal within 24 hours — covering preparation, materials, schedule and price with nothing hidden. For water, mold and storm emergencies in Philadelphia, PA, we answer 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions
Masonry in Philadelphia — Questions, Answered
Do you work with natural stone as well as manufactured products?
Both. Natural fieldstone and bluestone offer unmatched depth and longevity; manufactured veneer is lighter and more budget-friendly. We show samples on site so you can compare them against your existing masonry in daylight.
Can you repair a leaning or cracked retaining wall?
Often, yes — but only after we identify the cause, which is usually drainage or an inadequate footing. Rebuilding with proper base, drainage stone and weeps costs less than repairing the same wall repeatedly.
How long does a masonry project take?
A set of front steps may take two to three days; a large retaining wall or full veneer facade can take two to four weeks including footings and cure time. You'll get firm dates in your written proposal.
Do you handle Philadelphia L&I permits for masonry and siding work?
Yes. Structural masonry, facade work above a certain height, and siding replacement generally require Licenses & Inspections permits. We file applications, coordinate inspections and carry the insurance certificates the city requires.
Can you repoint a shared party wall between rowhomes?
We do this regularly. Party wall and parapet work usually involves coordinating access with a neighbor, which we help arrange, and we document conditions on both sides before starting.
