San Marino is where Southern California's finest residential masonry lives: 1920s and 30s estates by the region's great architects, brick and stone garden walls that have aged into the landscape, walkways and porches laid when craftsmanship was the default. Working here is a privilege with a standard attached - new work has to deserve the street it is on, and repairs have to disappear into what the original masons built.
That is the work we bring our best coursing to. Brick and stone garden walls, steps and walkways; repair and repointing that matches originals in brick, color and joint; driveways and motor courts; and the quiet outdoor living that suits these gardens. Careful work, clean sites, written quotes - and references from the kind of projects this town expects.

The defining San Marino job is additive: extend a 1929 garden wall for a new gate, rebuild a settled section of walkway, repoint a facade without changing its face. Matching is a discipline - brick sourced to age and size, mortar tinted to the original, joints tooled to the same profile - and it is the difference between work that vanishes into the estate and work that will bother the eye for decades.
Repairs get the same respect. Old mortar was softer than modern mixes on purpose, and repointing historic brick with the wrong mortar damages it slowly and permanently. We match the mortar to the masonry, not just the color to the wall - the kind of detail this housing stock deserves and its owners notice.
Beyond the walls, San Marino properties carry serious hardscape: brick and stone walkways through mature gardens, motor courts and driveways, pool surrounds, and the outdoor rooms - kitchens, fireplaces, seat walls - that extend houses built for entertaining. We build them in the materials the houses were built in, over proper bases, with drainage that protects both the work and the gardens around it.
And we work the way this town expects trades to work: clean sites, protected landscaping, honest schedules, and communication that respects your time. Estates keep their standards because everyone who works on them keeps theirs.

This was a great company to work with. Francisco communicates in detail verbally and in writing. He also does excellent work and has a great staff. He also left my place clean daily before they left. They show up on time and get the job done as projected.
Francisco and his crew are great! They repaired a brick wall for me when other companies said it had to be demolished and couldn't be repaired. They were prompt and friendly and did a great job. I would highly recommend them!
We are extremely pleased with the outstanding work completed by Camberos Masonry. The best word to describe their work is immaculate! … The crew worked tirelessly, paid attention to every detail, and left the job site clean and organized each day.
Francisco and his team are the best! They can do anything. They built us a fireplace, rebuilt a balcony and repaved our backyard. One of our best hires ever!
Camberos Masonry provided services recently involving repairing/restoring a very old natural stone wall as well as repairing mortar joints/cracks in natural stone pathways at a circa 1930 property. We found the crew to be hard working, diligent, reliable, creative problem solvers.
Francisco came on time to give me a very fair price to extend a brick patio, replace some flagstone and repair a low brick wall. His workers were efficient and did an excellent job … I highly recommend him.
Francisco came over quickly to scope out the work and plan it out with me. His crew came out and cut the concrete, leveled the ground, removed old tree roots and removed the cracked concrete slab in-front of my entrance, and poured the concrete in just 2 days! I'm very pleased with the final product.
Absolutely wonderful to work with. They were professional, cleaned-up after the work was done. The work was done on time and was gorgeous. We highly recommend them.
Francisco gave me a very competitive quote on a cinder block wall extension. His guys showed up on time and finished quickly. They had to deal with a tree trunk and did a great job. I'd hire again gladly.
Working with the Camberos Team was a great experience! Francisco was very honest and down to earth. … Their prices were very fair and the detailed work they did was superb!
Very experienced and hard-working crew. Work done on time and on budget! Did the pool renovation, tile work, landscape lights, etc.
Francisco came over and asked relevant questions before providing a detailed estimate. … Francisco and his crew were timely and responsive. He kept me updated as to their progress and as to the reason for any delay. The end result was better than expected.
Francisco came over the same day to measure and give us a quote for demolishing and rebuilding a brick fence and concrete patio. He was professional, friendly, thorough, and worked with us to provide several options within our budget and schedule.
We were so happy with his team that we hired him to build a stone and marble fireplace for our new home. They did such an amazing job! We had a short window of time to get it done and they went out of their way to make that happen.
The two pros he sent over were efficient and did a great job. I would recommend these guys and look forward to contacting them with future projects.
These guys did such a great job on our front yard! … They also put in a cement wall around the yard with pillars. They always showed up on time, were very friendly, and did a phenomenal job.
