West Bloomfield is known as Oakland County’s lake township. Pine Lake, Orchard Lake, Cass Lake, Upper Straits and dozens of smaller lakes shape its neighborhoods, and the homes match: large brick colonials, sprawling contemporaries, lakefront estates and wooded lots with room for real outdoor living. Masonry here is often the main event, whether it’s a grand brick entry, a stone-wrapped great room fireplace or a lakeside patio with a fire feature.
Next Level Custom Brick is a family-owned masonry contractor serving Metro Detroit for more than 15 years. We design and build custom brick and stone features for West Bloomfield homeowners and keep existing masonry in top shape with chimney repair, tuckpointing and porch restoration.
Custom Masonry Services in West Bloomfield
West Bloomfield homeowners usually want two things from a mason: craftsmanship that matches the quality of the home, and a crew that respects the property while they work. That’s how we operate.
Outdoor Fireplaces, Kitchens & Seat Walls
Lake views and big backyards call for outdoor rooms. We build brick and stone outdoor fireplaces, grill islands, pizza-oven surrounds, pillars and seat walls designed around how you entertain.
Natural & Cultured Stone Veneer
Refresh a dated elevation, wrap columns and garage piers, or reface an interior fireplace floor to ceiling. We install stacked stone, ledgestone and fieldstone profiles with clean corners and tight, consistent joints.
Grand Entries, Porches & Steps
Wide brick or stone entry steps, landings and porch rebuilds give a large home a proper front door. We also repair entries that have settled, cracked or started to separate from the house.
Chimney Restoration
Large homes often have tall chimneys and multiple flues. We repair crowns and caps, tuckpoint, replace spalled brick, and rebuild chimneys above the roof when needed.
Brick Repair, Tuckpointing & Matching
Additions and remodels often leave a patchwork of brick. We match brick and mortar so repairs and tie-ins blend into the original walls.
West Bloomfield Areas We Serve
We work all across the township and in the neighboring lake communities of Orchard Lake Village, Keego Harbor and Sylvan Lake.
Pine Lake, Orchard Lake & Upper Straits Lake
Lakefront homes in these neighborhoods often have significant hardscape on the water side, including terraces, steps down to the shoreline and outdoor fireplaces. Water exposure and slopes mean every piece needs real footings and drainage, not just good looks.
Cass Lake & Keego Harbor Area
Around Cass Lake, the largest lake in Oakland County, many older cottages have become year-round homes. We help these homeowners rebuild steps, add stone veneer and replace chimneys that have outlived their original construction.
Neighborhoods along Maple, Orchard Lake & Middlebelt Roads
Many of West Bloomfield’s brick colonials and ranches were built from the 1960s through the 1990s and are now due for chimney work, tuckpointing and porch repair. Stone veneer updates are popular here as well.
Wooded Estates & Newer Custom Homes
On larger, wooded lots, we build natural stone walls, pillars at driveway entrances, outdoor fireplaces and walkways that fit the landscape.
Masonry Built for Lake Living
West Bloomfield’s lakes are what make it special, and they’re also what make masonry here demanding. Lakeside soil is often wet, slopes are common, and ice and wind off the water add wear every winter. Patios and walls near the shoreline need a deep, well-drained base, and stone and brick should be chosen for low absorption. We also pay attention to runoff so new hardscape doesn’t send water toward your foundation or into the lake.
Because many projects here are additions to high-value homes, matching matters. We take the time to source brick and stone that blend with what’s already on the house and adjust mortar color and joint style until a tie-in is hard to spot.

West Bloomfield Masonry FAQs
Can you design an outdoor fireplace for my West Bloomfield backyard?
Yes. We design outdoor fireplaces, fire pits and outdoor kitchens around your space, the views and how you use the yard, then build them on proper footings with materials suited to Michigan weather.
How do you match brick on a large home addition?
We identify the brick size, color range and texture, source the closest available match, and custom-blend mortar color. Where an exact match isn’t made anymore, we blend brick or plan the transition so it looks intentional.
Do you work in Orchard Lake Village and Keego Harbor?
Yes. We serve West Bloomfield Township along with Orchard Lake Village, Keego Harbor and Sylvan Lake.
Is stone veneer durable on a lakefront home?
Yes, when it’s installed correctly with a weather-resistive barrier, lath, scratch coat and proper flashing and weep details. Correct installation matters more than the stone itself, and that’s where we focus.
