Safety First: Repairing Loose Steps and Uneven Walkways
Cracked or uneven steps are more than just an eyesore. They pose a serious safety risk to you, your family, and your guests. A single loose brick or sunken paver can lead to trips and falls that result in injuries. Here's why this matters so much to your home.
When mortar joints deteriorate or pavers shift, your walkways and steps lose their stability. Water seeps into gaps, freezing and expanding in winter, which makes the problem worse over time. What starts as a minor issue can quickly become a major repair job if you wait too long to address it.
We inspect every surface carefully, identifying problem areas before they cause accidents. Our team removes damaged materials, levels the base, and rebuilds your steps with precision. We use quality materials and proper installation techniques to ensure your walkways stay safe and level for years to come. You deserve peace of mind knowing your family can walk safely around your home.
The Dangers of Water Intrusion: Why Prompt Tuckpointing Matters
Water is the silent enemy of masonry. When mortar joints crack or crumble, water finds its way into your walls. Once inside, it causes a cascade of problems that can compromise your home's structure and your family's health. Understanding this process helps you see why tuckpointing services are so important.
Moisture trapped in your walls leads to mold growth, wood rot, and rust damage to metal supports. During winter, that water freezes and expands, pushing bricks apart and widening cracks even further. The longer you wait, the more extensive and expensive the repairs become. What could have been a simple tuckpointing job turns into a major restoration project.
Our tuckpointing process stops water intrusion before it causes serious damage. We carefully remove old, failing mortar and replace it with properly mixed material that matches your existing color. This creates a watertight seal that protects your walls while maintaining the historical character of your home. Taking action now saves you money and protects your investment for decades.
Restoring San Bernardino's Historic Masonry: Preserving Local Charm
San Bernardino has a rich architectural history visible in its beautiful brick homes and commercial buildings. These structures tell the story of our community and deserve careful preservation. When you own a historic property, you hold a piece of local heritage that needs specialized care and attention.
Restoring historic masonry requires more than just technical skill.

We take pride in matching original brick colors, replicating mortar profiles, and preserving architectural details that make historic buildings special. Our work maintains the character that gives these structures their value and beauty.
Whether you own a vintage bungalow or a commercial building downtown, we approach restoration with respect for the craftsmanship of earlier generations. We use lime-based mortars when appropriate, source period bricks, and follow techniques that ensure structural soundness while honoring the building's history. This careful approach protects your investment while preserving San Bernardino's architectural heritage for future generations to appreciate.

Expanding Your Living Space with Custom Stone Patios
Your backyard has untapped potential waiting to be discovered. A well-designed stone patio transforms unused space into a beautiful outdoor room where your family can gather, entertain guests, and enjoy San Bernardino's wonderful weather. This investment in your property pays dividends in both lifestyle and home value.
We work with you to design a patio that fits your vision and your space. Whether you want a cozy corner for morning coffee or a spacious area for hosting parties, we create layouts that maximize functionality and beauty. Our custom stone patio designs consider factors like sun exposure, drainage, and traffic flow to ensure your new space works perfectly for your needs.
The material you choose affects both the look and durability of your patio. Natural stone offers unique beauty and unmatched longevity, while manufactured pavers provide consistent color and easier maintenance. We help you understand the pros and cons of each option so you can make the best choice for your lifestyle and budget. Proper installation with a solid base and correct drainage means your patio will look great and function well for decades to come.
Signs Your Retaining Wall is Failing (And How We Fix It)
A retaining wall does more than look good. It holds back soil, prevents erosion, and protects your property from water damage. When a retaining wall starts to fail, you need to act quickly before a small problem becomes a major emergency. Recognizing the warning signs early can save you thousands of dollars in repairs.
Watch for these red flags: leaning or bulging walls, cracks in the blocks or mortar, gaps between wall sections, pooling water near the base, or soil washing out from behind the wall. Any of these signs indicates your wall is under stress and losing its ability to hold back the soil. Without proper drainage and structural support, retaining walls eventually collapse, potentially causing damage to your home, driveway, or landscaping.
We assess the cause of the failure and recommend the right solution. Sometimes we can repair the existing wall by adding drainage, reinforcing the foundation, or replacing damaged sections. In cases of severe failure, we may need to rebuild entirely using modern engineering principles. Our retaining wall construction follows strict building codes and includes proper drainage systems to prevent future problems. A well-built retaining wall protects your property while adding visual appeal to your landscape.
Modernizing Your Home Exterior with Stone Veneer Siding
Stone veneer offers the stunning appearance of natural stone without the weight and expense of solid stone construction. This lightweight material transforms ordinary exteriors into architectural showpieces while providing excellent durability and weather resistance. If you want to update your home's look dramatically, stone veneer delivers impressive results.
Modern stone veneer comes in dozens of styles, colors, and textures. From rustic ledgestone to smooth river rock, you can achieve any aesthetic you envision. The material installs directly over your existing siding or foundation walls, making it a relatively quick upgrade compared to other exterior renovations. We help you select a style that complements your home's architecture and your personal taste.
Installation quality makes all the difference in how your stone veneer looks and performs. We prepare surfaces properly, apply weather-resistant barriers, and use correct installation techniques that prevent water infiltration. Our attention to detail ensures every corner, joint, and edge looks natural and professional. The finished result adds substantial curb appeal and value to your property while requiring minimal maintenance over its lifetime.
Chimney Leak Detection: Flashing, Crowns, and Flue Liners
A leaking chimney causes water damage that spreads through your home's structure. Water stains on ceilings, musty odors, and deteriorating masonry are all signs of chimney leaks that need immediate attention. Understanding where these leaks originate helps you appreciate why proper chimney maintenance is so important for your home.
Three main areas cause most chimney leaks. The chimney crown, that concrete cap at the top, cracks over time and lets water run down inside the chimney structure. Flashing, the metal seal where your chimney meets the roof, can separate or corrode, creating gaps for water entry. Inside the chimney, damaged flue liners allow moisture and dangerous gases to penetrate the masonry. Each of these issues requires a different repair approach.
Our comprehensive chimney inspections identify all sources of water intrusion. We check the crown for cracks, examine flashing connections, and inspect the flue liner condition. Then we perform the necessary chimney repairs using quality materials designed to withstand weather extremes. A properly maintained chimney protects your home from water damage and keeps your family safe from carbon monoxide and fire hazards.
