Serving Hollywood, FL and surrounding areas. (754) 294-8074
HWM Hollywood Masonry provides masonry contractor services across Coral Springs, FL - including stone veneer installation, tuckpointing, and retaining wall construction. We work on the planned-community CBS homes this city is known for, and we respond within 1 business day with free on-site estimates.
Coral Springs CBS homes from the 1970s and 1980s often have plain stucco exteriors that have aged significantly - and stone veneer is one of the most effective ways to modernize them without tearing down the existing structure. Find out more about our stone veneer installation service, including how we handle the waterproofing layer that Broward County's humidity and hurricane-season rain demand.
Coral Springs sits inland from the coast but still gets about 60 inches of rain annually, most of it between June and September. Mortar joints on homes built in the 1970s and 1980s have often reached the end of their service life, and open joints let that summer rain work directly into the block structure. Tuckpointing before the rainy season closes those gaps while the weather cooperates.
A large number of Coral Springs properties back up to canals or retention ponds, and the soil on those lots stays saturated longer after heavy rain. A properly built retaining wall stabilizes the bank, prevents erosion into the canal, and protects the yard from slow creep that otherwise undermines landscape and hardscape over time.
Coral Springs homes with decorative brick accents - entry columns, garden walls, mailbox posts - take punishment from the combination of intense UV exposure, daily summer thunderstorms, and occasional hurricane-force winds. Spalling or displaced brick lets moisture into the wall cavity, so targeted repairs protect the broader structure from damage that compounds season after season.
With about 70% of Coral Springs housing owner-occupied and residents who tend to stay long-term, this is a city where homeowners invest in proper maintenance rather than quick fixes. Full masonry restoration - covering repointing, surface repair, efflorescence removal, and sealing - addresses years of deferred wear on CBS homes in one coordinated project.
Coral Springs HOAs often require that exterior improvements match neighborhood design standards, and a well-laid masonry walkway can satisfy those requirements while managing the drainage challenges that flat lots create after heavy rain. Proper slope and joint design keep water moving away from the home rather than pooling at the front door or foundation.
Coral Springs was built almost entirely between the late 1960s and early 1990s as a master-planned community in western Broward County. That compressed building timeline means a huge share of the city's housing stock is now 35 to 55 years old - and most of those homes are concrete block construction with stucco exteriors that have been living through South Florida summers since the Ford administration. The city gets roughly 60 inches of rain per year, nearly all of it between June and September, and that rainfall lands on flat terrain with sandy soil and a high water table. The result is that water has nowhere to go quickly, and properties with masonry that has gaps, cracks, or failing joints take that water directly into the block structure every summer. Homes that back up to one of the city's many canals face the added challenge of constantly saturated soil near the property line.
Because Coral Springs was developed as a planned community, most neighborhoods are governed by HOAs with exterior approval requirements that shape what masonry work can be done and what materials are permitted. Any contractor working here regularly knows that a job may need HOA sign-off before a permit can even be pulled, and that the two processes run on different timelines. Broward County also enforces High-Velocity Hurricane Zone construction standards on all structural masonry work, which means retaining walls, block walls, and exterior cladding all require engineered specifications and inspections. Coral Springs' inland location also means the city absorbs more intense afternoon summer heat than coastal areas - mortar and sealants degrade faster here than they would in a city that catches ocean breezes.
Our team has pulled permits from the City of Coral Springs Building Division for structural masonry projects across the city, which means we know the current permit processing times, what documentation exterior cladding and block wall projects require under Broward County wind code, and how the HOA approval process typically lines up with the permitting timeline. Getting those two steps sequenced correctly is one of the most common sources of delay on Coral Springs jobs, and we handle it upfront.
Coral Springs covers about 24 square miles, and the neighborhoods vary more than the uniform streetscape suggests. The areas near Mullins Park in the center of the city tend to have early-1970s construction on smaller lots with original-era stucco that has seen decades of summer heat. The neighborhoods in the northwestern part of the city - built in the late 1980s and early 1990s - have slightly newer construction, tile roofs, and often more elaborate front-facade stonework to match or update. Canal-adjacent lots throughout the city require extra care around base preparation and drainage, regardless of the job type.
We serve homeowners throughout this part of Broward County. Those closer to the coast will find our work in Deerfield Beach to the north, and homeowners southeast of Coral Springs can reach us through our Pompano Beach service area as well.
We respond to every inquiry within 1 business day. A brief description of what you are seeing - cracked mortar, peeling stucco, a wall that shifted after heavy rain - is enough to get started. You do not need to have a diagnosis ready before calling.
A crew member visits your property to measure the work area, assess the condition of the existing masonry, and identify any HOA or permit requirements that apply to your project. This visit is at no charge, and we will walk you through what we find and what we recommend before any work begins. If permit or HOA approvals are needed, we explain the timeline so there are no surprises.
We pull all required permits and handle the inspection schedule. On canal-adjacent properties, we take extra steps to protect base preparation from soil moisture during the project. You do not need to be present for every day of work, though we recommend being available for the start and completion walk-through.
When the job is done, we walk the finished work with you, confirm the permit is closed with the city, and hand over any documentation you need for HOA records or future resale. We are available by phone for follow-up questions at no additional charge.
We serve Coral Springs homeowners with free on-site estimates and a response within 1 business day. Licensed, permitted, and familiar with the planned communities and CBS homes throughout the city.
(754) 294-8074Coral Springs is a planned city in western Broward County with a population of around 134,000 people. It was developed starting in 1963 on flat land at the edge of the Everglades drainage basin, and most of its residential neighborhoods were built during a 25-year construction boom that ran from the late 1960s through the early 1990s. The result is a city with a consistent housing stock - single-family CBS homes on lots between 6,000 and 10,000 square feet, many with tile roofs, stucco exteriors, and canal or pond views in the backyard. About 70% of units are owner-occupied, which is notably high for South Florida, and the city consistently ranks among the safest in the state. The City of Coral Springs has also received national recognition for city management and quality of life, which reflects the investment residents make in their properties and neighborhoods.
The city is organized around major corridors like Sample Road, University Drive, and Coral Ridge Drive, with residential neighborhoods branching off in a grid pattern from those roads. Mullins Park serves as a central gathering space for sports and community events, and the Coral Springs Center for the Arts draws residents from across the city. The eastern part of Coral Springs has more condo and townhome density, while the western neighborhoods closer to the Sawgrass Expressway tend to have larger single-family lots and later construction dates. Homeowners in nearby Deerfield Beach and Pompano Beach to the east are also within our regular service area.
