Good masonry suits the house. We explain why before we start.
We're a masonry and concrete business based in Alameda, and we work across Oakland, Berkeley, San Leandro, Castro Valley and many cities around them. I left office work to learn the trade under an experienced East Bay bricklayer, and most of our calls still come from owners of older brick homes.
I'd rather show you why a wall needs a certain approach than ask you to take my word for it, so I look at the work with you and explain it in plain words. When something can't be known until the wall is open, I'll tell you so. You can read more on our About page.
Brick, stone and concrete work. Repairs and new builds alike.
From repointing old brick to new walls and pavers, every job starts with my visit. Size, materials, access and permits set the price and timing, and my written estimate spells out your scope.
Foundation repair
When a brick or block foundation cracks, crumbles or settles, we repair the masonry so the house above stays supported.
Chimney repair
Loose bricks, cracked caps and worn mortar on a chimney, fixed before water gets in and the damage spreads down the stack.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing replaces worn mortar joints and finishes them with a thin, crisp line, a good fit for older brick fronts that look tired.
Brick repair
Cracked, flaking or loose bricks cut out and replaced, with brick and mortar chosen to match the rest of the wall.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway laid over a packed base, so it carries your car and single pieces can be lifted and replaced later.
Retaining wall construction
Block, stone or brick retaining walls for sloped yards, built with drainage behind them so trapped water doesn't push them out.
Masonry restoration
For brick and stone that has weathered for decades, we clean, repair and repoint in ways that suit the original materials.
Fireplace installation
A new masonry fireplace or a rebuilt firebox, the brick-lined box that holds the fire, planned around your room and chimney.
Stone veneer installation
Thin natural or manufactured stone set over walls, columns and foundations, giving a stone look without building a full stone wall.
Concrete block walls
Property line walls, garden edges and outbuilding walls in concrete block, set on a proper footing and filled where strength is needed.
Foundation block wall installation
If you're adding on, building a garage or rebuilding, we lay new block foundation walls plumb on their footings, with steel where the design calls for it.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Brick, block and stone bases for grills, counters and ovens, so you have a solid place to cook and gather outside.
Walkway construction
Front walks and garden paths in brick, stone, pavers or concrete, laid on a firm base so they sit level underfoot.
Brick wall installation
New brick garden walls, screen walls and planters, laid in a brick and pattern that suits the house they stand beside.
Stone masonry
Walls, steps, columns and planters built in natural stone, with each piece cut and fitted by hand to its neighbors.
Brick pointing
If your mortar joints are sandy, recessed or cracked, we rake them out and refill them so water stays out of the wall.
It starts with a conversation. It ends with a walkthrough.
I'm involved from the first visit to the final walkthrough, and our own small crew of masons does the work in between, with me checking in on site.

The visit
I come to your home myself, look at the masonry with you and explain what I see, including anything that can't be known until the work begins.
Written estimate
I send a written estimate that spells out the scope. It's free and carries no obligation, so you can take the time you need to decide.

(510) 254-3205Older houses need care. That's why owners call us.
Mortar matched to your house
We match new mortar and materials to the house you actually have, so repairs on older brick blend in and protect the wall rather than strain it.
The owner writes your estimate
I come out and write the estimate myself, so the person you speak with is the person responsible for your job.
City steps explained, permits handled
At the estimate I'll talk through what your city may ask for, and when a permit is needed, we file it and work with the city through inspections.
Licensed in California and insured
The state requires a contractor's license for work that needs a permit or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. We're licensed and insured.
We treat your home with respect. From first visit to cleanup.
While we work, we cover plantings, lay boards where we carry materials across lawns and walks, and keep mortar and dust off your house and your neighbor's. We leave the site tidy each day, and when the job is done we clean up before we go, so what's left is the finished work. It's all backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
