What Accra clients say about our masonry work
"We had cracking on our perimeter wall from a previous contractor's unreinforced columns. Cornerstone rebuilt the columns properly with rebar and the wall has been solid since."
"Full block work for our 3-bedroom build came in exactly at the quoted price. The mason team was consistent throughout — same crew from foundation to roof level."
"External render on our house was starting to blister after a previous job. Cornerstone stripped it back and redid it with a proper waterproof additive — no issues since."
Masonry Contractors Accra questions answered
How much does masonry work cost in Accra?

What blocks are used for house construction in Ghana?
6-inch hollow concrete blocks are the standard masonry unit for residential walling in Ghana. Quality varies significantly — always buy from a licensed block manufacturer with consistent cement ratios. A quality block should not crumble or crack when dropped from arm height.
How much does block laying cost per day in Accra?
A skilled mason in Accra charges GHS 180-280 per day in 2026. Full block work for a 3-bedroom house typically costs GHS 60,000-95,000 including materials, depending on wall height and complexity.
What makes masonry work fail or crack over time?
The most common causes are unreinforced fence columns, poor mortar mix ratios, and missing coping stones on top of walls allowing water penetration. Correctly reinforced columns and a proper coping detail prevent most cracking.
Do you offer a warranty on masonry and plastering work?
Yes — every masonry job carries a written 6-month workmanship warranty. If cracking, delamination, or other defects appear that trace back to our workmanship, we return and fix it at no charge.
Can you match existing brickwork or render for an extension?
Yes — when extending an existing structure, we assess the current block type, mortar colour, and render finish to match as closely as possible, so the extension reads as part of the original building rather than an obvious addition.
