Santa Monica masonry lives with the ocean, and the ocean never stops working on it. Salt air and marine-layer moisture age mortar faster here than ten miles inland; garden walls grow efflorescence, brick faces spall, and steel in old walls rusts and swells. The city's housing stock — North of Montana estates, Spanish courtyards in Wilshire-Montana, Craftsman streets in Sunset Park and Ocean Park — is worth protecting from all of it.
We build and repair for the coast: brick and stone garden walls and courtyards matched to the architecture, repointing and repair with mortar suited to marine exposure, paver driveways and walks, concrete done clean, and the patios, seat walls and outdoor rooms that coastal evenings deserve.

A big share of Santa Monica calls are repair calls, and the coast is usually the culprit: mortar joints gone sandy on a seventy-year-old garden wall, white efflorescence blooming after winter, brick faces popping where moisture froze salt in the pores, cracked caps letting water into the wall's core. We repair for the environment - raking and repointing with mortar matched to the original and suited to marine exposure, replacing spalled brick with compatible stock, capping walls so water sheds instead of soaking.
We are equally straight about our lane. Santa Monica runs a serious seismic retrofit program for its older buildings, and structural retrofit work on unreinforced masonry is an engineering trade with its own specialists - not us. Our work is garden and property walls, veneer, brick and stone repair, and hardscape; when your project crosses into structural territory, we say so plainly and point you right.
North of Montana gardens carry formal masonry - brick walks, garden walls behind hedges, courtyard entries - and the standard for new and matched work is high. We source brick to age and size, tune mortar color, and lay to the coursing the originals set. Spanish revival courtyards in the Wilshire-Montana blocks get the same respect: arches, low walls and tile details built like the 1920s meant them.
The living side is where the coast pays off: paver patios and pool decks that shrug off moisture, seat walls and fire features for marine-layer evenings, and outdoor kitchens built in veneer that matches the house. Sand-set pavers and well-drained bases are the coastal cheat code - repairable, slip-resistant and permanent-looking all at once.

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.
