Straight answers and careful masonry
I worked summers on masonry crews all through school, mixing mortar and hauling block long before I laid my first course. I started K&L South Whittier Concrete & Masonry here in 2023. Most of our calls are worn mortar, a leaky chimney, a cracked wall or a yard project someone wants built right.
I come out to look at every job myself, and I work alongside my crew when we build it, so what we talk about at the estimate is what gets built. I'd rather tell you a crack can wait than sell you work you don't need.

Who handles building permits for a house in South Whittier?
LA County Public Works does, because South Whittier is unincorporated County land. Its South Whittier District Office, in Norwalk, handles building permits, though a property outside County jurisdiction may go to another office. We check which office covers your address before we start, and when a permit is needed we handle it as the licensed contractor.
Does a small masonry repair in South Whittier need a licensed contractor?
Yes, if the job is over $1,000 or needs a permit. The state's minor work exemption, raised from $500 to $1,000, only covers someone without a license when the work needs no permit and they have nobody working for them on it. We're fully licensed and insured, so you don't have to sort that out with us.
Do you do masonry work outside South Whittier, like Norwalk or Downey?
Yes. We're based in South Whittier and work in the cities around it, including Norwalk, Whittier, Downey and Pico Rivera. You'll find more of them on our home page, and if you don't see your city, ask us anyway.
What affects the price of a masonry job in South Whittier?
Mostly the size of the job, the material you choose and how much old brick, block or mortar has to come out first. Those same things set the schedule, along with a permit when one is needed. I'll give you the figure for your own job at the free on-site estimate.
