About your San Rafael masonry contractor
We repair and build brick, stone and block work in San Rafael and across Marin. We find what's actually causing the damage and fix that first, so the repair holds.
From building upkeep to masonry repair
Learned on older buildings
Before I opened this business, I spent years doing upkeep for a property management company, keeping walls, steps, chimneys and patios in shape across a lot of older buildings. I learned the trade by doing those repairs myself and by working next to the masons the company brought in for the bigger jobs.
Those years also taught me how I work. I kept going back to the same building for the same problem, because someone had patched the crack and never stopped the water causing it. A quick patch costs more in the end, so we fix the reason the masonry failed, not just the part you can see.
How we work today
We opened in 2020, and we're best known for repair work that fixes what's actually wrong. Most of our calls come from homeowners with older brick or stone, plus landlords and property managers who need a mason they can count on.
I come out to look at every job and write the estimate, and our own crew of masons does the work with me on site, so what we agreed on is what gets built. If that's the kind of mason you want, call (628) 234-2038 or reach us through our contact page.
The values behind our work
They come from years of keeping older buildings standing, and they shape how we handle every wall, chimney and step.
Water checked first
Before we price a repair, we look at where water is getting in, like caps, flashing, drainage and open joints, so the estimate covers the cause too.
A straight answer, first visit
You get a plain answer on the first visit about what's wrong and what it'll take, so you're not left guessing about your own house.
Estimates you can read
Estimates are free, done on site and written out, so you can see what's included and compare it before you decide.
Insured on every job
We're fully licensed and insured, and the one promise we put behind our work is satisfaction guaranteed on every job.
How we treat every job
We handle the permits
Before work starts we check with the office for your address, in San Rafael the city's Building Safety Division, and handle the paperwork and inspections when a permit's needed.
Match the old work
On older brick and stone we match the repair to what's already there, so it blends in and moves with the wall around it.
Honest about scope
If a small repair will do the job, we tell you, and if the problem runs deeper, we show you why before you spend more.
Steady for property managers
Landlords and property managers get the same written scope and straight talk, so they can plan repairs across several buildings without chasing us.
Tidy while we work
We keep tools and materials in order while the job's open and clean up when we finish, because you still live there while we work.
