About our masonry contractor company in Laguna Niguel

I grew up handing bricks to my dad on job sites, and he taught me to lay brick and stone the way he learned it. After years on his crews, I started this business here in Laguna Niguel in 2017, and my crew and I still do the work together.

Most of what we do sits outside and around your house: garden and retaining walls, chimneys, walkways, driveways, outdoor kitchens and the brick and stone on the house itself. People see these parts first when they pull up, and they hold soil back, carry smoke out and keep your feet on solid ground.

We're best known for careful mortar work and walls that look like they've always belonged to the house. My dad used to say a mason's work outlives the mason, and I still believe it, so I'd rather take the slower way that protects your house than a quick fix that looks good for a year.

Homeowners call us for very different things. Some have cracked joints or a tired chimney, some want a new block wall or a paver driveway, and some have a backyard project they've been putting off for years. A repair, a restoration and a new build each start in a different place, so first we figure out which one you've got.

When a wall cracks or a chimney leaks, I want to know why before we touch it, because patching a crack without fixing its cause just buys you a little time. Sometimes what looks like a brick repair turns out to be water draining the wrong way or a footing under the wall that has settled, and that changes the whole plan.

Old masonry needs a gentle hand. We match new mortar, brick and stone to what you already have, so a repair blends in and soft old brick isn't stuck next to mortar that's harder than it is. A wall that was built right the first time usually just needs its worn parts brought back.

Call or send a message and tell me what you're seeing, like a crack that keeps growing, mortar turning to sand, or the wall you've wanted along the back of the yard. Photos help, and so does knowing whether you have an HOA. We reply to every call and message within one business day.

Then I come out to look at the job myself, so your estimate comes from someone who lays the brick and not from a salesperson. I'll walk it with you, ask plenty of questions and show you what to look for on your own walls. You get a written estimate, free and with no obligation.

We're fully licensed and insured, and when a job needs a permit, we handle the paperwork with the city and line up the inspections. If something has to come first, like an HOA letter or an engineer's plans, I'll tell you early so you can plan for it and the project doesn't stall once we've started.

We're based in Laguna Niguel and work in many of the cities around it across Orange County, including Aliso Viejo and Laguna Hills. Around here we see plenty of block walls, brick chimneys and stone on sloped yards, and the same kinds of calls come in from one city to the next.

Each kind of job has its own page, from tuckpointing to retaining walls, and our home page is a good place to start if you're not sure what you need. To reach us, call (949) 312-6076 or send a note through our contact page.
