Family-owned masonry across Carroll County and the Blue Ridge — fireplaces, patios, retaining walls and custom stone & brick, with craftsmanship you can see in every joint.
Chelo's Brick & Stone is a family-owned business built on two decades of hand-laid masonry across southwest Virginia. Owner Chelo Morales learned the trade the old way — one course at a time — and still personally walks every job from the first estimate to the final cleanup.
From a cozy stone fireplace to a full brick facade, a backyard patio to a retaining wall that holds the hillside, we build with proper footings, drainage and flashing so the work doesn't just look right today — it stands for generations.
New construction or restoration — if it's brick, stone or block, Chelo and his crew lay it by hand.
There are no shortcuts in good masonry. Every brick is buttered, set to a line, leveled and struck by hand. It's slower. It's also the difference between a wall that looks good for a season and one your grandkids will lean against.

Chelo built our stone fireplace and we get compliments on it constantly. He's a true craftsman — clean work, fair price, and he showed up when he said he would.
We had a crumbling chimney and a sketchy retaining wall. Chelo repointed the chimney and rebuilt the wall solid as a rock. Couldn't be happier with the work.
Our brick walkway and patio turned out better than we pictured. Honest, hard-working and meticulous. Already planning the next project with him.
