Our Services
Comprehensive masonry, concrete, and construction capabilities for projects of every scale — from residential patios to industrial infrastructure. Since 1980, Virbitsky Masonry has delivered expert craftsmanship across Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Masonry
Our skilled masons bring decades of experience to every block, brick, and stone project. From load-bearing structural walls to decorative veneers, we deliver precision craftsmanship that stands the test of time. Every project starts with a thorough understanding of the structural requirements, architectural intent, and the specific demands of Northeastern Pennsylvania's freeze-thaw climate. We select materials and techniques that ensure long-term durability while meeting the aesthetic vision for each build.
Block Work
CMU block construction for foundations, retaining walls, firewalls, and structural walls. We work with standard, split-face, burnished, and specialty block in a full range of sizes and configurations. Our crews are experienced in both reinforced and unreinforced applications, with meticulous attention to coursing, alignment, and mortar joints that ensure structural integrity and a clean finished appearance.
Brick & Stone
Custom brickwork and natural stone installation including bluestone, fieldstone, and cut stone. Expert pattern matching and mortar color selection ensure seamless integration with existing structures or the creation of distinctive new facades. From running bond to Flemish bond, herringbone to ashlar, we handle every pattern with confidence and precision.
Veneer Walls
Thin stone and brick veneer installation over existing structures. Perfect for facades, accent walls, and building renovations where the look and feel of natural masonry is desired without the weight or cost of full-depth units. We ensure proper moisture management, flashing, and attachment systems for long-lasting performance.
Bluestone Patios & Walkways
Custom-designed bluestone patios, walkways, and outdoor living spaces. Precise cuts and drainage-conscious installation create beautiful, functional outdoor areas that complement any property. We work with both irregular flagstone and thermal-finished dimensional bluestone, setting each piece on a properly prepared base to prevent shifting and settling.
Tuck-Pointing & Restoration
Mortar joint repair, brick replacement, and masonry restoration for aging structures. We match existing mortar color and profile to maintain the original character of the building. Our restoration work extends the life of historic and aging masonry by addressing deteriorated joints, spalling brick, and failing lintels before minor damage becomes a structural concern.
Firewalls & Fire-Rated Construction
Code-compliant firewall and fire-rated masonry construction for commercial and industrial buildings. We build fire separation assemblies and rated walls that meet IBC and local code requirements, using proper materials, reinforcement, and detailing to achieve the required fire-resistance ratings for each project.
Commercial block work and structural masonry
Foundation and structural concrete work
Structural Concrete
Heavy-duty structural concrete is our specialty. We handle the most demanding foundation work, from simple residential footings to complex commercial and industrial structures requiring precision forming and rebar reinforcement. Our crews understand that structural concrete is the hidden backbone of every building — it must be designed correctly, placed accurately, and cured properly to deliver decades of reliable performance. We work closely with engineers and general contractors to ensure every pour meets specifications to the letter.
Foundations & Footings
Poured-in-place foundations, column footings, pier footings, and spread footings for structures of all sizes. We handle everything from residential basement foundations to deep commercial footings requiring engineered reinforcement. Our forming systems deliver clean, plumb walls and precise dimensions that simplify the work of every trade that follows.
Grade Beams
Continuous grade beam construction for steel-frame buildings, pre-engineered metal buildings, and structural support systems. Grade beams distribute loads across soil conditions that would challenge conventional footings, and our experience with complex rebar cages and precision anchor bolt placement ensures proper alignment with the steel structure above.
Concrete Walls
Formed and poured concrete walls including basement walls, retaining walls, and above-grade structural walls. We use engineered forming systems that produce smooth, consistent surfaces with proper alignment and dimensions. Our retaining wall experience includes gravity walls, cantilever walls, and counterfort designs for challenging site conditions.
Heavy-Duty Paving
Reinforced concrete paving for truck docks, loading areas, equipment yards, and heavy-traffic industrial surfaces. These slabs are built to handle the concentrated loads and repetitive traffic that would destroy conventional paving. We use fiber reinforcement, welded wire fabric, and rebar mats depending on the load requirements, with proper joint spacing and edge detailing.
Flatwork
Precision flatwork for both interior and exterior applications. Our crews deliver level, durable surfaces with proper drainage, joint placement, and finishing for every application. Flatwork may look simple from the surface, but getting it right demands careful subgrade preparation, accurate forming, proper reinforcement, and skilled finishing. The difference between a slab that performs for decades and one that cracks in the first winter comes down to the details — and details are what we do best.
Interior & Exterior Slabs
Floor slabs, garage floors, warehouse floors, and structural slabs with appropriate reinforcement and finishing. We tailor the mix design, reinforcement, and finishing technique to the specific application — whether it is a smooth-troweled interior floor, a broomed exterior slab, or a heavy-duty warehouse floor that will support racking systems and forklift traffic.
Driveways & Parking Areas
Residential and commercial driveways, parking lots, and access roads built to handle the load. We design and pour driveways and parking areas with proper thickness, base material, reinforcement, and drainage to prevent the cracking and settling that plagues shortcuts. Our commercial lots include proper curbing, catch basin tie-ins, and ADA-compliant markings.
ADA-Compliant Ramps & Sidewalks
Fully compliant ADA ramps, sidewalks, and accessible routes with proper slopes, surfaces, and detectable warnings. We understand the precise requirements for running slope, cross slope, landing dimensions, and surface treatment that compliance demands. Our work passes inspection the first time because we build to code from the start.
Commercial & Industrial Floors
High-tolerance floor slabs for manufacturing, warehousing, and retail applications including polished concrete finishes. We achieve the flatness and levelness specifications required for automated equipment, narrow-aisle racking, and high-end retail environments. Our crews are experienced with laser screed technology and precision finishing techniques.

Industrial-grade concrete construction
Industrial Services
Specialized concrete and masonry services for industrial facilities. We understand the unique demands of equipment pads, machine foundations, containment systems, and industrial infrastructure. Industrial work leaves no margin for error — equipment must sit level, containment must hold, and every structure must withstand the harsh operating conditions of manufacturing and processing environments. Our experience with industrial clients means we understand the tolerances, the scheduling pressures, and the safety protocols that this work demands.
Equipment Pads & Machine Foundations
Precision-poured concrete pads for heavy machinery, generators, HVAC units, and industrial equipment. These foundations must be dimensionally accurate, properly reinforced, and poured to tight tolerances to ensure equipment operates correctly. We work from manufacturer specifications and engineering drawings to deliver pads that meet exacting requirements for flatness, elevation, and anchor bolt placement.
Tank Pads & Containment
Secondary containment systems, tank pads, and spill containment structures meeting environmental regulations. We construct containment walls, berms, and lined pads designed to contain 110% of tank capacity as required by EPA and state regulations. Our containment systems include proper drainage, sumps, and chemical-resistant coatings where required.
Trenches & Pits
Concrete trenches, equipment pits, and below-grade structures for industrial process requirements. From simple cable trenches to complex multi-level equipment pits, we handle the forming, reinforcement, and waterproofing challenges that below-grade construction presents. Our crews are experienced with the confined-space safety requirements that this work demands.
Concrete Cutting & Demolition
Precision saw cutting, core drilling, and selective demolition for renovations and infrastructure modifications. When existing concrete needs to be removed or modified, our crews use the right equipment and techniques to get the job done cleanly without damaging adjacent structures. We handle wall sawing, slab sawing, core drilling, and controlled demolition.
Additional Capabilities
Beyond our core masonry and concrete services, we offer a range of complementary capabilities that allow us to handle complete projects without juggling subcontractors.
Polished Concrete
Diamond-ground and polished concrete floors for retail, commercial, and industrial spaces. We transform ordinary concrete slabs into high-gloss, low-maintenance floors with exceptional durability and a modern, professional appearance that eliminates the need for floor coverings.
Machinery Rigging
Heavy machinery rigging, moving, and placement services for industrial and manufacturing equipment. Our experienced riggers safely position heavy equipment using cranes, rollers, and hydraulic systems — coordinating with concrete pours so equipment is set precisely on freshly completed foundations.
Trucking
Material hauling and trucking services for project support. We maintain our own fleet to deliver aggregate, block, brick, and concrete supplies to job sites on schedule — eliminating delays caused by third-party logistics and keeping projects on track.
Excavation
Site excavation and grading for foundations, utilities, and site preparation. From foundation digs and utility trenching to rough grading and final site restoration, our equipment operators prepare the ground so our concrete and masonry crews can get right to work.
Demolition
Selective and complete demolition services for structures, slabs, and site clearing. Whether removing an existing foundation to make way for new construction or selectively demolishing interior walls during a renovation, we handle teardown with precision and proper waste management.
Snow Removal
Commercial and industrial snow removal services to keep your facility accessible and safe through Northeastern Pennsylvania winters. We provide plowing, salt application, and snow hauling for parking lots, access roads, and loading areas — keeping businesses operating during even the worst winter weather.
