About our masonry contractor company in Encinitas
We repair older brick and stone and build block and retaining walls across Encinitas and the cities around it, and we find out why something failed before we fix it.
Fix the cause first
Our job is to fix why your wall, chimney or joints failed, not just the part you can see, so you don't pay for the same repair twice. We do that for homeowners in Encinitas and the cities around it, and we take the slow, right way to get there.
What we hold to
I tell you plainly what's wrong, what it'll take and why, because you're the one paying for it and you should understand it.
- You deal with the owner, start to finish
- We find the cause before we repair
- Mortar chosen to protect older brick and stone
- City permits handled, requirements explained up front
What we build and repair
Foundation repair
Cracked or settling block and masonry foundations, repaired after we work out why the ground or footing moved.
Chimney repair
When a chimney leaks or sheds brick, we rebuild loose courses, repoint joints and fix the concrete cap on top.
Tuckpointing
We rake out crumbling joints and refill them with mortar matched to your brick's color and strength.
Brick repair
Cracked, flaking or loose bricks cut out and replaced with ones that match the wall around them.
Driveway pavers
Paver driveways laid on a dug-out, compacted base so the surface stays level under your car.
Retaining wall construction
Block and stone retaining walls with proper footings and drainage behind them, built to hold back a slope.
Masonry restoration
For older brick and stone that's worn, we clean, repair and repoint with materials gentle on the original wall.
Fireplace installation
New brick or stone fireplaces built for your living room or your patio.
Stone veneer installation
Thin natural or manufactured stone applied over walls, columns and fireplace fronts for the look of solid stone.
Concrete block walls
We build block walls for privacy, property lines and yards, with steel and grout where the wall needs strength.
Foundation block wall installation
Block foundation walls set on solid footings to carry a new addition, garage or other structure.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Grill islands, counters and bar walls in block, brick or stone, built to take the weather.
Walkway construction
Paths to your door or through the yard in pavers, brick, stone or concrete.
Brick wall installation
New brick garden, privacy and accent walls laid in the brick pattern and joint style you choose.
Stone masonry
Walls, steps, columns and planters built from natural stone, each piece set by hand.
Brick pointing
Small areas of loose or missing mortar between bricks filled in before water gets into the wall.
How I got here
I came to masonry later than most, after years in a different line of work. I learned it as a helper under an experienced mason, then started this business in 2017.
Today we're best known for careful repair on older brick and stone, and for block and retaining walls built to stand. Most calls are crumbling joints, leaking chimneys and walls starting to lean. I'm blunt about what I see, because I'd rather you hear it from me now than from a failed wall later. You can see all our services on our home page.
