Terms and Conditions
Effective January 1, 2026
Advanced Encinitas Concrete and Masonry, encinitasconcreteandmasonry.com, office@encinitasconcreteandmasonry.com
Accepting these terms
These terms cover your use of this website and any estimate or work you get from Advanced Encinitas Concrete and Masonry, a masonry contractor in Encinitas, CA. By browsing the site, calling us or sending the form on our contact page, you agree to them, so please read them before you book.
If you sign a written agreement for a specific job, that agreement controls wherever it differs from this page. These terms fill in anything the agreement doesn't cover.
What we do and what this site is for
We do masonry and concrete work for homes in Encinitas and the cities around it, from brick repair and tuckpointing to retaining walls, pavers, block walls and outdoor kitchens. You can read more about our crew on our about page, or start from the home page to see every service and city we have a page for.
What you read on this site is general information about the trade. It isn't advice for your particular house, because every wall, slab and chimney is different, and we won't know what yours needs until we've seen it in person.
If the site links to another business or office, we don't control that site and aren't responsible for what it says.
Estimates and pricing
Estimates are free and done on site, and there's no pressure to book. An estimate is based on what we can see and measure that day, so it covers the work described in it and nothing more.
Masonry often hides problems until the job is open, like soft mortar behind a sound face, a cracked footing or poor soil under an old slab. If we find something that changes the work or the price, we stop, show you, and get your written approval before we do the extra work.
An estimate stays good for the period written on it. After that, material prices and our schedule may have changed, so we'll update it before you book.
Scheduling and cancellation
We give you a start date when you book, and we'll call you if anything moves it. Rain, heat, material delays and cure time for concrete and mortar can all push a schedule, because rushing those steps is how you get cracks and failed joints later.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, call us as early as you can. If we've already ordered special materials for your job, like a particular brick, stone or veneer, you may owe what we paid for them, and your written agreement will say so.
Nothing on this page takes away any right to cancel that California law gives you.
Payment terms
Your deposit, payment schedule and accepted payment methods are written in your agreement before work starts, and we never ask for more up front than the law allows.
The final payment is due when the work in the agreement is done. If a balance goes unpaid, we may use the collection and lien rights California law gives contractors, though we'd always rather sort it out with a phone call first.
Our workmanship and warranty limits
We're fully licensed and insured, and we stand behind our work with satisfaction guaranteed on every job. If something isn't right, call us and we'll come look at it.
Any written warranty for your job is spelled out in your agreement, including what it covers and for how long. Materials such as brick, block, stone, pavers and sealers carry their makers' own warranties, and we'll pass those along to you.
Beyond what's written in your agreement, and to the extent the law allows, we don't make other promises about the work or about this website. We aren't responsible for damage caused by things outside our control, like earth movement, tree roots, drainage changes made after we leave, misuse or work done by someone else.
Limits on our liability
To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or follow-on losses, like lost use of a space, lost rental income or the cost of a hotel while work is done. Our total responsibility for a job is limited to what you paid us for that job.
Nothing here limits our responsibility for harm we cause through gross negligence or on purpose, or anything else the law doesn't let a business limit.
If we disagree
Most problems get fixed fastest by talking, so please call us at (760) 230-9799 first and give us a fair chance to make it right. If we still can't agree, either of us may take the matter to small claims court or to the courts in San Diego County.
Which law applies
These terms and any work we do for you are governed by the laws of the State of California.
Changes to these terms
We may update this page from time to time, and the version posted here is the one that applies. Changes won't alter a written agreement you've already signed with us.
If you have a question about these terms, call us at (760) 230-9799 or send a message through our contact page.
