A masonry contractor in Mojavewho reads the ground first
We're a masonry contractor based in Palmdale, CA, and we take jobs in Mojave just as we do in Rosamond. Here it's usually a block wall that's cracked or started to lean, a footing that's dropped, or old brick that needs fresh mortar, and plenty of those calls come from landlords.
Price turns on how much wall or paving there is, what the ground under it needs and whether a permit's involved, and that permit usually sets the schedule. I put your number in a written estimate.
Call (661) 382-3390 or send the form, and I'll come out to Mojave and look at the job with you.
What we do in Mojavebrick, block, stone and pavers
We bring our brick, block, stone and paving work to Mojave, repairing first and building new only when a repair won't hold.
- Foundation repair A footing that's dropped shows as cracks near the base of the house, and we find out why before patching.
- Chimney repair Loose brick and open joints at the top of an older chimney, fixed before pieces start landing on the roof.
- Tuckpointing We grind out worn mortar joints and refill them so the brick around them stays tight and dry.
- Brick repair Cracked or crumbling bricks cut out one at a time and replaced with a close match, not a whole wall.
- Driveway pavers Pavers reset over a packed base so a driveway that's sunk in spots sits level again.
- Retaining wall construction Where a yard steps down, a retaining wall with proper drainage behind it holds the dirt without bowing out.
- Masonry restoration For older brick and stone that's tired all over, we clean, repoint and repair it to match what's there.
- Fireplace installation A new brick or stone fireplace, laid out around the firebox or insert you pick and finished to suit the room.
- Stone veneer installation Thin stone over block or a plain house front, set on a backing that lets water drain out.
- Concrete block walls Property-line block walls with cracked caps, stair-step cracks or a lean, repaired or rebuilt on a solid footing.
- Foundation block wall installation Block foundation walls for an addition, with steel and grout in the hollow cores wherever the plans call for them.
- Outdoor kitchen masonry A block and stone base for your grill and counter, set on its own footing so the top sits level.
- Walkway construction Front walks and yard paths in pavers, brick or flagstone, laid on a packed base so they sit firm.
- Brick wall installation New brick garden and boundary walls, with the footing sized for the ground under them.
- Stone masonry Natural stone walls, steps and planters, laid by hand and fitted piece by piece.
- Brick pointing If the mortar's sandy and crumbling but the brick is sound, fresh pointing is often all you need.
Why Mojave owners call usstraight answers, repairs sized right
Working with us mostly means straight talk, because I'll tell you what your wall or chimney actually needs, show you why, and leave out the work it doesn't.
Licensed in California, insured on every job
We're fully licensed and insured, which matters because California requires a contractor's license once a job needs a permit, uses hired help or reaches $1,000 in labor and materials.
Repairs sized to the problem
If a few bricks or one section of wall is the problem, that's what I'll quote, because a straight answer beats a big ticket.
Fixes landlords can stop thinking about
Plenty of our calls come from landlords, so we look for what's causing the damage and aim for a repair you can leave alone between tenants.
Repair work since 2013
We've been doing this since 2013, and I started out patching block walls and repointing brick between tenants, so repair is what we know best.
One more question is fine
I'll show you what I'm seeing in the cracks and the mortar and answer as many questions as you have, and the work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
From call to walkthroughhow a Mojave job runs
You deal with me from the first visit to the final look, and the price comes in a written estimate before any work starts.
You call or send the form
Call (661) 382-3390 or send the form with a few words about the job, and we call you back to set up a time for me to come out.
I walk the job with you
I look at the job with you, check which office covers your address, which in Mojave means Kern County, and put the estimate in writing.
Our masons do the work
Once you say go, we handle any permit the job needs, set up the inspections, and our masons do the work while I check it as it goes.
We look it over together
When our masons finish, you and I walk the job together, and that's the time to point at anything you want explained.
What Mojave asks of masonryfrom the soil to the permit
The ground and the rules here both shape how we plan a Mojave job, before anyone lays a block.
Soil that swells or collapses
Parts of Kern County have soil that swells or collapses and can shift a footing, so we check the ground before sizing one.
Septic systems in the yard
Many parts of the county have no sewer, so if you're on septic we find the tank and lines before digging.
County rules, not city rules
Mojave is unincorporated, so building permits come from Kern County's building permit counter, and we're the ones who deal with it for you.

Taking care of Mojave wallsfor homeowners and landlords alike
We're based in Palmdale and work across the Antelope Valley and the cities around it, Mojave included, so a job here gets the same masons and the same checks while the work's going on as one closer to home.
What we see here is mostly the everyday masonry of houses and rentals: block walls along the lot line, front walks, older brick chimneys and footings under additions. That's the repair work I learned on, and it's still what we're best known for.
