"I was referred to WCD Masonry by a company whom I initially called for an estimate on our block wall that was leaning. The company happened to serve only areas in Orange County. Since I live in Los Angeles County , they referred me to WCD Masonry. William was professional and knowledgeable. It was a pleasure to work with him. He takes time to explain the details on what needs to be done to make the repair strong and lasting. His craftsmanship was beautiful and finished on time. I am happy that our block wall looks great again! Thank you, William!"

Mike explained clearly how the work would play out and job went well from start to finish. His team were prompt and hard working. Mike was accommodating when we wanted to add other masonry items after the work began. All the work finished on time even with the few added items. His price was vary competitive and we would recommend him highly."

"About a year ago we had our frame braced and bolted to the foundation (seismic retrofit) . The Foundation Works did a top notch job with a professional crew at every step. Their price was similar to other bids and they worked with us through the Earthquake Brace and Bolt program. They also stuck to their time lines. We were very happy with them, but here's the cherry on top. We had copper pipes installed recently. When the county inspector was out to inspect that job, he looked at the work under the house. He asked us who did our brace and bolt job. We told him and asked why. He said he could see that they did a really great job."

"My project was a 100' long, 7' tall concrete block wall. I met with both owners, not sumultaneously, but separately. Their communication was spot on, they were very friendly and knowledgeable. The work was completed in a very short period of time, the workers were extrememly capable and worked very hard to complete the project. I highly recommend them!"

"Very happy with job completed. I had a old stone wall between me and my neighbor with a protrusion from an old tree that needed to be corrected. Fix It Masonry was able to do the job exactly how we asked and results look great. Very professional and courteous. And very flexible about schedule despite bad and unpredictable weather. Would definitely hire again in the future!"

"Our front yard needed some structure. Gadi helped design and build two entry pillars in stone masonry, plus a new walkway to the door. The old path was narrow and cracked, and the new one is wide and fits the property better. The pillars gave us a real entrance feel. They also ran low-voltage lights inside the pillars so they light-up at night. It's not flashy, just clean and sharp. The stone matches the front steps, and everything feels like it belongs now. Gadi and his crew kept things simple and stuck to our request. Would work with them again."

"Francisco came on time to give me a very fair price to extend a brick patio, replace some flagstone and repair a low brick wall. His workers were efficient and did an excellent job, going over and beyond the the job tasks requested. They did a good job cleaning up afterwards and removing debris. I highly recommend him."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

Brick is the closest choice when seeking to capture the timeless look of stone with a more practical and budget-friendly option. When comparing stone versus brick siding, the price range of $200,000 to $400,000 for average brick home construction is dramatically lower compared to the cost of building a stone home. If you'd like to keep the stone aesthetic without the cost, stone veneer and manufactured stone are both less expensive than real stone.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.
