Proven Masonry Contractor in Jurupa Valley CA - Brick and Block Work Built to Last

It depends on the job, so I give you a free written estimate after seeing it in person instead of guessing over the phone. The size of the work, brick versus block versus natural stone, how much old masonry has to come out first and whether a permit is needed all move the number.

Fixing only the worn joints costs less up front, and if the rest of the wall is sound, that's what I'll tell you to do. When most of the joints are soft and sandy, spot repairs tend to turn into repeat visits, so redoing the wall in one go is usually the better spend.

It comes down to the size of the job, whether a permit and inspections are part of it, and how quickly materials like matched brick or stone arrive. A few cracked joints move a lot faster than a new wall that needs a permit, and I'll talk through the schedule for your job when I come out.

Yes, California's Contractors State License Board requires a license when the job needs a building permit, uses any hired workers, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. Contractors also have to be licensed before they bid, and we're licensed and fully insured. Businesses working in Jurupa Valley, even ones based outside it, may also need a city business registration certificate.

The City of Jurupa Valley's Building & Safety Department issues permits for building new structures and for remodeling or demolishing existing ones, and it coordinates the review with other city departments. Work that changes the grade of your land needs a grading permit, and work in the public right-of-way needs an encroachment permit. If you'd like to check on your own project, I'm glad to point you to the city's building office.

Yes, satisfaction guaranteed on every job is the promise we make. I walk the finished job with you at the end, and since good masonry should outlast the people who build it, we take the careful road over the quick one.

Most of the time, repair it, because sound old brick usually has plenty of life left and only the worn bricks and joints need work. When I come out, I'll show you which ones are actually failing, and we match the new brick and mortar to the old so the repair blends in.

Yes, the semi-arid weather in western Riverside County dries out common building materials hard, and over the years that shows up as mortar joints going dry and crumbly. It's a big reason we check joints closely on older brick homes here, and we plan fresh mortar work around the summer heat so it doesn't dry out before it sets.
