What our masonry contractor crew builds and repairs in Chico, CA
Foundation repair
Cracks climbing a wall or a door that sticks? We find out what moved the foundation first, then repair it so the fix matches the cause.
Chimney repair
We rebuild cracked chimney caps, loose brick and failed mortar, and when there's a leak, we track down where the water actually gets in.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing means raking out worn mortar joints and packing in fresh mortar matched to your brick. It's for older brick homes where joints have gone sandy or hollow.
Brick repair
What do we do with brick whose face has flaked off? We cut it out and set in a matching brick, so the patch blends in.
Driveway pavers
We lay paver driveways over a packed gravel base, for homeowners who want a driveway that can be repaired one paver at a time instead of torn out.
Retaining wall construction
For sloped yards, we build block and stone retaining walls with drainage behind them, so water drains out instead of pushing the wall over.
Masonry restoration
Own an older brick home or storefront? We restore its walls using mortar and cleaning methods gentle enough for old brick, so the repair doesn't do new damage.
Fireplace installation
We build brick and stone fireplaces, from the firebox where the fire burns to the hearth in front, laid out to suit your room.
Stone veneer installation
What's stone veneer? It's a thin layer of real or manufactured stone set over a wall, for homeowners who want a stone look without a solid stone wall.
Concrete block walls
Need a privacy wall along a property line? We build concrete block walls on a poured concrete footing, so the wall sits on a solid, level base.
Foundation block wall installation
We lay block foundation walls for additions, garages and crawlspaces, with steel bar and grout in the block's hollow cores where the plans call for it.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build the brick, block and stone shell of an outdoor kitchen, the counters, grill surround and bar, for backyards where you want to cook and eat outside.
Walkway construction
We build brick, stone and paver walkways from the driveway to the door or through the yard, on a packed base with enough slope that rain runs off.
Brick wall installation
Want a brick garden wall, column or patio wall? We build it from brick and mortar picked to suit your house, on a footing sized for the wall.
Stone masonry
Stone masonry is wall, step and column work in natural stone, each piece cut and fit by hand, for homeowners who want solid stone rather than a veneer.
Brick pointing
Gaps opening between your bricks? Pointing replaces the worn mortar in those joints with a mix that's softer than the brick, so the joint wears, not the brick.
Brick, block and stone work
Why Chico homeowners call our crew
Cause found first
Before I write up a repair, I work out why the brick, block or stone failed, so the fix fits the real problem instead of covering a crack. It's also why we take the jobs other masons pass on, like a chimney leak nobody's tracked down or an old wall that needs a careful match.
Owner on site
I'm the one who comes out, looks at the job and writes the estimate, and I'm on site while our own crew builds it. Nothing you told me gets lost between the estimate and the work, because the person who heard it is standing right there.
Estimates you can compare
Your estimate is written out to show what's included, like the base, the drainage and hauling off old material, because those and the materials you pick are what usually move the price. When a permit's needed, we find out whether the city or the county covers your address and handle the paperwork, and that usually sets the start date.
