Masonry Contractor in Lancaster, CA - Straight Answers on Brick, Block and Stone
Capstone Palmdale Concrete and Masonry repairs and builds brick, block and stone work for Lancaster homeowners and landlords, from cracked block walls and loose brick to new pavers, walkways and retaining walls.
Masonry repair in Lancasterand new brick, block and stone
We're based in Palmdale and work across the Antelope Valley, so Lancaster is familiar ground for us, and so is nearby Quartz Hill. Plenty of calls here are cracked block walls, brick that's lost its mortar and sunken pavers, plus landlords who want a repair done once.
Price turns on how much wall or paving there is and what it's built from. The schedule mostly turns on whether the city wants a permit first, and I walk it with you and put your number in writing.
Call (661) 382-3390 or send the form, and I'll come out to Lancaster to look at the job with you.
Our work in Lancasterbrick, block, stone and pavers
Here's everything we bring to Lancaster jobs, with a line on where each one usually comes up on houses and rentals.
- Foundation repair Cracks in the low wall under your house get traced to their cause before we patch them.
- Chimney repair Loose brick and worn mortar at the top of a chimney, fixed before pieces start landing on the roof.
- Tuckpointing When mortar joints wash out but the brick is sound, we grind out the old mortar and refill to match.
- Brick repair Flaking or cracked bricks on a Lancaster porch or wall, cut out and replaced one at a time.
- Driveway pavers Sunken pavers where you park usually mean a weak base, so we rebuild the base before relaying them.
- Retaining wall construction For yards that step up or down, a wall sized to the grade with drainage behind it.
- Masonry restoration Tired brick, block or stone brought back with careful repairs, keeping as much of the original work as we can.
- Fireplace installation A new brick or stone fireplace for a Lancaster living room or patio, laid out with you before we start.
- Stone veneer installation Thin stone over a plain block wall or column, for the look of stone without its weight.
- Concrete block walls The block walls between Lancaster yards, built new or repaired where a section has cracked or leaned.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls for additions and outbuildings, laid on a footing sized for the load.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry Block and stone grill islands and counters for a backyard where you'd rather cook outside.
- Walkway construction Front and side walkways in brick, pavers or stone, laid on a packed base so they sit flat.
- Brick wall installation New brick garden and boundary walls set on a proper footing, which is what keeps a wall from leaning later.
- Stone masonry Natural stone walls, steps and planters, with each piece fitted by hand where it sits.
- Brick pointing Small gaps of missing mortar filled before they spread, so a sound rental wall stays sound.
Why Lancaster calls Capstonestraight answers on brick and block
Working with us is pretty simple. I come out myself, tell you what I'm seeing, and you get the repair your wall actually needs, with nothing bolted on.
The owner does your estimate
I come out for every estimate myself, walk the job with you and put what I'd do in writing, so nothing gets lost secondhand.
Repairs sized to the problem
Years of fixing rental properties taught me a straight answer beats a big ticket, so if a smaller repair will do, I'll say so.
Checked while it's being built
Our masons do the work and I'm on site checking it along the way, not just showing up once it's finished.
Permits handled for you
When your job needs a permit, we handle the application and set up the inspections, after checking whether your address falls under the city or the county.
Licensed and insured on every job
We've been at this since 2013, we're fully licensed and insured, and the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
How a job runsfrom your call to the walkthrough
I try to keep this easy on you. One visit where I walk the job with you, a written estimate you can read later, and me on site while our masons build.
You call or send the form
Call (661) 382-3390 or fill out the form with what you're seeing, and we'll get back to you to set up a time for me to come out.
I walk it with you
I look at the job with you, check whether your address is inside Lancaster city limits or under the county, and give you a written estimate.
Our masons do the work
Once you say go, our masons do the work and I check it as it goes. On a permitted job, the city reviews the plans first and inspects during the build.
We look it over together
When it's done, we walk the finished job together so you can see what we did and ask anything before we call it finished.
What Lancaster asks of a jobbefore the first block goes down
A lot of what shapes a Lancaster masonry job happens before we dig, in the city's permit rules and your property lines.
Permits come before work starts
The city's Building & Safety wants a permit before work on anything that changes or adds value to your property, so we settle that first.
Wall height decides the paperwork
Retaining walls up to 4 feet, counting the footing, are on the city's exempt list unless they carry extra load, so we measure yours.
Who can pull the permit
Only an owner living at the house, a licensed contractor or an agent with a letter from either can get a permit here.
Contractors need a city license
Lancaster won't issue a contractor a permit without a city business license on file, plus workers' comp where it applies, so ask about both.
Property lines need a surveyor
The city keeps no property-line maps, so before a boundary wall goes up we'll tell you whether a licensed land surveyor should mark it.
Your Lancaster estimate, in writingfrom the owner, at your house
Tell us your address and what you're seeing, and we'll get back to you within one business day to set up a visit. I come out myself, and the written estimate is free with no obligation.
Working in Lancasterwith the same crew as Palmdale
Most of what we see in Lancaster is what we see across the Antelope Valley: block walls between backyards, brick planters and fireplaces, paver driveways and front walkways. Some need a full rebuild, but plenty just need a section reset or a few joints refilled, and I'll tell you which.
I learned this trade doing upkeep on rental properties, so I know what it's like to want a wall fixed once and left alone. Lancaster homeowners and landlords get the same straight answer and the same masons as our jobs back home, where we work as a masonry contractor in Palmdale.
