What we build and fix in Anaheim
Foundation repair
Where a foundation wall has cracked or a corner has settled, I look for the cause first, then we repair the masonry so the fix matches the problem.
Chimney repair
A chimney that leaks into the ceiling usually has a cracked cap, loose brick or open joints, and we repair the part that's failing, not the whole stack.
Tuckpointing
When mortar joints have gone sandy or soft, we grind them out and pack in fresh mortar that matches the old color, so the wall sheds water again.
Brick repair
Cracked, flaking or loose bricks in an Anaheim wall or step get cut out and replaced with brick close to the original, so the patch doesn't stand out.
Driveway pavers
Pavers set on a packed base let us lift and reset a section if it sinks, instead of breaking out a whole slab of concrete.
Retaining wall construction
If your yard steps down or a slope is creeping toward the house, we build block or stone retaining walls with a real footing and drainage behind them.
Masonry restoration
Older brick and stone that's worn, stained or badly patched over the years can be cleaned, re-mortared and repaired without losing the look it had.
Fireplace installation
We build masonry fireplaces indoors or out, laid to the firebox maker's instructions and the code, with a footing sized to carry the weight.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer, a thin facing of real or cast stone, can cover a block wall, column or fireplace front for the look of solid stone.
Concrete block walls
Block walls along a property line or around a yard go in on a poured footing, with steel and grout in the cells where the wall needs strength.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition or a raised floor, we lay foundation block on a footing checked for level and size before the first row goes down.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
An outdoor kitchen is usually block finished in brick, stone or tile, and we size the grill and counter openings to fit the appliances you pick.
Walkway construction
We lay walkways in brick, pavers or stone on a packed base, sloped so rain runs off instead of pooling at your front door.
Brick wall installation
A brick garden wall or planter takes a solid footing and well-filled joints, because a short wall that leans is a wall someone has to rebuild.
Stone masonry
Natural stone for walls, steps and columns is fitted piece by piece, so it takes longer than block, and we pick each stone for fit before it's set.
Brick pointing
If only some joints have cracked or fallen out, we point just those, which costs less than redoing the wall and holds up when the rest is sound.
Brick, block and stone work in Anaheim
We're based in South Whittier and do brick, block and stone work in Anaheim, as we do in Santa Fe Springs and Fullerton.
Size, material and access set the price, and the weather and any permit set the schedule. I'll give you your own number when I come out.
Most rain falls in winter
Most of Anaheim's yearly rain falls in December, January and February, and summer stays nearly dry, so we plan mortar and concrete work around those wet months when we can.
The city reviews and inspects
The city reviews plans and inspects work here. Whether your job needs a permit depends on the work, and when it does, we handle it as the licensed contractor.
Fire risk, especially in the east
The city says the wildfire threat is real and always present, especially in east Anaheim, and it differs by property. Brick, block and stone don't burn, which counts when you choose materials.
What to show me on the visit
Point out cracks you've watched grow and where water sits after a rain, because that tells me more about the cause than the crack itself does.

I look at the job myself and work alongside my crew, so you know who's on your property.

Ask us directly
Call (562) 358-3030 or send the form about your project, and we'll answer whatever these didn't.
Does my masonry project need a permit in Anaheim?
Usually, yes. The city says most improvements need a permit before construction starts and only cosmetic work goes without, and an older city handout lists building, altering and repairing a structure among the work that needs one. You can check your project with the city's Building Division, and I look at it on the visit too.
Do I need an engineer's plans for a block or retaining wall in Anaheim?
If your project needs plans, usually yes. The city says construction plans must come from a qualified person, which for most project types means a California licensed architect or engineer, and city staff doesn't draw them. I'll tell you on the visit whether your wall looks like it needs plans.
Which building codes apply to a masonry project in Anaheim?
Anything submitted to the city now falls under the current California building codes plus Anaheim's own amendments for local terrain, climate and geology. Projects submitted before January 1, 2026 stay on the earlier 2022 codes, so an older permit may follow different rules. We build to whichever set covers your permit.
Does a masonry contractor in Anaheim need a California state license?
Yes, for almost any wall, chimney or paver job. The Contractors State License Board requires a license when the project needs a building permit, uses any additional workers, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. We're fully licensed and insured, and it's worth asking anyone you're considering the same.
Does a contractor from outside Anaheim need a city business license?
Yes. The city says anyone doing business in Anaheim needs an Anaheim business license, and that includes businesses based outside the city limits. It covers contractors coming in from nearby cities, so it's a fair thing to ask anyone you hire.
