Frequently Asked Questions

We work across the Los Angeles area with a focus on Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, La Cañada Flintridge and the surrounding foothill neighborhoods, plus Bel Air on the Westside. We are based in Carson, so the South Bay is home ground too. If you are anywhere in LA County, call and we will tell you straight whether your project fits our schedule.

Full-scope residential masonry and hardscape work: brick work and brick veneer, block walls, natural stone and stone veneer, retaining walls, concrete driveways, patios and pool decks, paver driveways and patios, outdoor living features like fire pits and outdoor kitchens, masonry repair and restoration, and outdoor tile. If it is built from brick, block, stone or concrete, it is what we do all day.

Both. Repair and restoration are a real part of our week — failed or leaning walls rebuilt, historic river rock and stone walls restored with the original material, cracked steps and driveways replaced, and old surfaces refinished. If the existing masonry can be saved, we will tell you; if it is cheaper to rebuild than to patch, we will tell you that too.

Every honest masonry number starts with seeing the site, because the price lives in the details: wall height and length, what is behind and above it, access for material and equipment, demolition, and the finish you pick. We look at the job, talk through options at different budgets, and give you a written quote. What we do not do is guess over the phone.

It depends on what is being built and where. In the City of Los Angeles, for example, a retaining wall over 4 feet tall measured from the bottom of the footing — or any retaining wall holding weight from above like a driveway or slope — requires a permit and engineering, and hillside areas have their own stricter rules. Glendale, Burbank and Pasadena each have their own thresholds. We flag permit questions on the site visit before any work is priced.

Matching is a core masonry skill and we take it seriously — reusing original material where possible, sourcing compatible brick and stone where not, and finishing stucco and mortar to blend with what is already there. On one restoration we rebuilt a failed historic river rock wall using about 95 percent of the original rock.

Small repairs can be a day or two. A typical wall, patio or driveway runs from several days to a couple of weeks depending on size, demolition, curing time and inspections when permits are involved. You get a realistic timeline with the quote, and you hear about anything unexpected the day it comes up.

Call (424) 653-0453 or send the quick form on this site. We will talk through what you want to build or fix, look at the site, and get you a written quote. You will be talking to the people who actually do the work, not a call center.
