Masonry waterproofing in Claremore, OK
Rogers County · ZIP 74017, 74019 · Published pricing · Call (918) 362-4398
Claremore sits far enough from Tulsa that most masonry contractors will not drive it, which is why so much of its brick has gone unrepaired. The downtown on Will Rogers Boulevard is early 1900s brick with soft mortar and uncapped parapets, the neighborhoods around the university and the lake are 1970s to 1990s brick veneer ranches, and the newer subdivisions along Highway 66 are 2000s builder brick with the usual weep hole gaps.
Rogers County clay is the same swelling montmorillonite as the rest of the metro, and the Verdigris River bottom on the east side stays wet for weeks after the spring storms. Haikey Creek Masonry Waterproofing runs Claremore weekly and prices it off the same published table: repointing at $1,200 to $5,500, whole house sealing at $1,000 to $3,500, chimney crowns at $900 to $3,500, with a hose test at the start of every job.
The Claremore chimney is worth a paragraph on its own. The 1970s ranches around the lake almost all have a brick chimney on the outside wall with a poured crown that split decades ago, and water running down the outside of the flue has spalled the top six courses on most of them. Rebuilding above the roofline runs $3,500 to $8,000; catching it at the crown stage is $900 to $3,500.
West side rain, east side ground water
Claremore is on Keetonville Hill sandstone on the west and river bottom clay on the east, and the two sides of town fail differently. West side houses get wind driven rain through open joints on the high walls and dry out fast. East side houses near the Verdigris get the slow damp band at the slab that never dries. Tell us which side you are on and we can usually guess the fix before we arrive.
Claremore and the Rogers County side
Regular stops include Will Rogers Boulevard downtown, the streets around Rogers State University, Claremore Lake, the Belvidere Mansion blocks, the Verdigris River bottom, Keetonville Hill, the Highway 66 subdivisions south of town, Claremore Expo area. If your wall is near those, a crew has probably already worked your street, and the price is the same table as everywhere else: the cost guide.

Claremore homeowners ask
- Do you really come out to Claremore?
- Yes, weekly. Claremore is about forty minutes from Broken Arrow and we group the Rogers County jobs so there is no trip charge for a scheduled visit. Same week visits for active leaks depend on the route that week.
- How much to fix a cracked chimney crown on a 1975 ranch?
- Crown repair, sealing the stack and resetting the counterflashing runs $900 to $3,500. If the brick above the roof has already spalled through, a rebuild is $3,500 to $8,000, and we photograph it from the roof before quoting.
- The brick on my downtown building is crumbling near the top. What is going on?
- The parapet has no cap and the wall is drinking from the top, which is normal for Will Rogers Boulevard buildings. Coping plus repointing the upper courses and sealing the front is priced in our $4,000 to $25,000 commercial range.
- How much does brick sealing cost in Claremore?
- A single story brick veneer ranch around the lake is $1,000 to $2,000 for a whole house silane and siloxane repellent; a two story house is $2,000 to $3,500. Repointing first is extra if the joints are open.
- Is there a permit for tuckpointing in Claremore?
- No. Repointing, brick replacement and sealing are maintenance work with no permit in Claremore. A chimney rebuild above the roof or work on a downtown building in the historic district can need one, and we handle that when it applies.
