About our masonry contractor company in Napa
A locally owned masonry contractor based in Napa.
Homeowners in Napa deserve a mason who finds out why the brick or wall failed, so that's where we start.
Learned on a city crew
Years rebuilding curbs, steps and old brick on a city maintenance crew taught me that a repair only lasts when you fix why it failed.
I started this business in Napa in 2021 to do the jobs I liked best on the city crew, the ones where you have to work out why something failed before you fix it. These days we're best known for careful brick and mortar repair on older homes and for walls that are built right. You can see everything else we do from our home page.
I come out to look at every job myself, and I'm on site working alongside our crew through the build, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the work. I'll ask you a lot of questions. When did you first notice the crack? Is it getting wider? Does water sit at the base of the wall after it rains?
We're based in Napa and work in Napa and the cities around it, and we're fully licensed and insured. If you're not sure we come out your way, just ask by phone or through our contact page, and we'll tell you.
We'd rather tell you a wall is fine for now than sell you work you don't need.
Rules we work by on every job
Find the cause first
Before we fix a cracked wall or crumbling mortar, we look for what caused it, like trapped water or a footing that moved, so you're paying to solve the real problem.
Honest about what can wait
If a crack is old and isn't moving, or the mortar still has life in it, I'll tell you to leave it and show you what to keep an eye on.
Permits and inspections handled
My years on a city crew taught me how building offices work, so we check with yours early and, when the job needs a permit, file the application and set up inspections.
New work that looks like it belongs
We match new brick, stone and mortar to what's already on your house in color, texture and the shape of the joints, so a repair doesn't stand out. On older homes we usually mix mortar to suit the brick instead of reaching for the hardest bag, because mortar that's harder than old brick can crack it.
Estimates that explain the why
After I look the job over, you get a written estimate that spells out the work and the reason for it. The price mostly turns on how much has to come out, the material you choose and how easy the spot is to reach, and the schedule usually turns on that same work plus any permit.
