Masonry in Acton, CAdone once and left alone
Acton is a rural, horse-keeping community between the Sierra Pelona and San Gabriel Mountains, and the calls here fit that. Mostly it's long block walls on property lines, retaining walls and older brick or stone that needs repointing, the same work we do in Lake Los Angeles.
Price comes down to the size of the wall, the material and how much old work has to come out. The schedule turns on whether it needs a permit and inspections. I'll walk it with you and put the estimate in writing.
Call (661) 382-3390 or send the form, and I'll come out to Acton, walk the job with you and write up an estimate.
What we do in Actonfrom block walls to fireplaces
We do the full range of brick, block, stone and paver work in Acton, and here's how each one usually shows up on properties here.
- Foundation repair Cracked or settling block foundations under homes, barns and outbuildings, fixed at the cause before the cracks spread.
- Chimney repair Loose crowns, cracked mortar and leaning stacks on the wood-burning chimneys many rural homes still use.
- Tuckpointing When mortar joints on older brick go soft and sandy, we grind them out and repack them to match.
- Brick repair Spalled, cracked or loose brick replaced one piece at a time, so a small problem stays small.
- Driveway pavers Pavers for long driveways and turnarounds, laid so a section can be lifted and reset if it ever settles.
- Retaining wall construction Where a yard, arena or building pad steps down, we build a retaining wall that holds the ground back.
- Masonry restoration Older brick and stone brought back with careful cleaning, repointing and matched repairs instead of a teardown.
- Fireplace installation New masonry fireplaces and hearths for living rooms and patios, sized to the room and the chimney.
- Stone veneer installation Stone veneer over block walls, columns and house fronts, a look that suits ranch homes out here.
- Concrete block walls Property-line and corral walls in block, set on solid footings so they stand up to horses rubbing against them.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls for new homes, barns, garages and additions, laid plumb and filled where the plans call for it.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Block and stone grill islands and outdoor kitchens for the big back patios rural lots have room for.
- Walkway construction Paths from the driveway to the house, the barn or the arena, in pavers, brick, stone or concrete.
- Brick wall installation New brick garden and entry walls, from a low planter edge to a full gated entrance.
- Stone masonry Fieldstone and cut stone walls, steps and columns that fit a ranch setting.
- Brick pointing Small patches of cracked or missing mortar refilled before water gets behind the brick and loosens it.
Why Acton hires usstraight answers, not big tickets
I learned this trade fixing walls for a property manager, so I'd rather sell you the repair you need than the biggest job I can find.
Repair first, replace if needed
If repointing or a few new blocks will do it, that's what I'll tell you, because a bigger ticket you didn't need helps nobody.
Licensed and insured for every job
We're fully licensed and insured. Without a license, someone can only take small jobs under the state's $1,000 limit, with no permit and nobody working for them.
Learned on rental properties
I spent years patching block walls and repointing brick for a property management company, then started this business in Palmdale in 2013.
Repairs that match the wall
On repairs we match the brick, block, stone and mortar color as closely as we can, so the patch doesn't stand out from the rest.

I come out and look
I walk the job with you and check whether your address is under a city or the county, since that decides the permit office. Then I write up the estimate.
Our masons do the work

We look it over together

What Acton properties ask of masonryand how we handle it
Here's what I run into on Acton jobs, from big lots and horses to the permit rules for walls.
Long walls on big lots
Rural lots mean long runs of block wall, so before patching one crack we check the footing and the rows of block on either side.
Horses lean on everything
Horses rub, lean and kick, so we check caps and block near gates and corrals and set any repair solid in fresh mortar.
Trailers on long driveways
Horse trailers and feed trucks crack thin pavers and loose edges, so our driveway work starts with a deep, well-packed base.
Permits for walls and fences
On unincorporated county land, LA County Public Works issues permits for retaining walls and fences over 6 feet, and we handle the application.

Working for Acton homeownersfrom our base in Palmdale
We're based in Palmdale and work across the Antelope Valley, and Acton is part of that. Out here it's mostly ranch homes, barns and horse property, where a wall or a chimney has to put up with animals, equipment and plenty of years.
Most homes in Acton are lived in by the people who own them, the neighbors you'd see at a summer movie night at Acton Park or the fall festival at Bloom Ranch. That's who we work for here, folks who want a repair done right and then forgotten.
