Winter Masonry at JM Inc.: Why It’s Done Right

When people hear “winter masonry,” the first reaction is usually concern. Cold weather and construction don’t always seem like a good mix, especially when it comes to brick and block work.

But here’s the important part: it’s not about the season. It’s about control.

At JM Inc., when we perform masonry work in the winter, it’s done inside a properly enclosed and heated shelter. That changes everything.

It’s All About Temperature

Masonry materials need the right temperature to cure properly. If mortar freezes before it sets, that can cause problems. That’s why we don’t lay masonry out in the open during freezing conditions.

Instead, we create a controlled environment:

• Fully enclosed shelter to block wind and snow

• Supplemental heat to maintain proper temperatures

• Protected materials to prevent freezing

• Ongoing temperature monitoring

Inside that shelter, the masonry cures just like it would in mild spring weather.

It’s Industry-Approved

Cold-weather masonry isn’t guesswork. There are clear industry standards that outline how to do it properly. When those procedures are followed, as they are at JM Inc., the finished product is just as strong and durable as work completed in warmer months.

Why It Makes Sense

Continuing work through the winter helps keep projects on schedule, avoids long delays, and allows facilities, especially essential spaces like shelters, to be completed or remain operational sooner.

Most importantly, quality is never compromised.

The Bottom Line

Winter masonry inside a heated, enclosed shelter is safe, compliant, and reliable when done correctly. At JM Inc., we take the extra steps to ensure conditions are controlled and standards are met.

The calendar doesn’t determine quality. Proper planning does.
