"Second time I used this company. When I wanted to have foundation work done I knew this was the company I wanted to use. They repaired and retrofitted my mother’s foundation and everything went well. Had to reschedule once but arrived on time each day and cleaned up after the days work. Passed inspection. Very happy with this company. Thanks again."

"Super seasoned crew with Ryan’s leadership delivered outstanding results with complete demolition of existing “cracked” hillside driveway (about 21ft by 30ft), fully reinforced with rebars and fiber lines to protect against future cracking. They have been doing this for generations and know masonry inside out"

"Excellently well! Sandy helped me coordinate the inspection expediently. We were on a tight timeline and she pulled some strings so we could get the inspection done in time. Our inspector/structural engineer, Erinn, was personable, thorough, knowledgeable and timely. I highly recommend him and Alpha Structural!"

"We recently worked with Encore Builders on a stunning backyard project that included a new rectangular pool, a sleek fire pit, and a custom barbecue area. The entire design feels like something straight out of a luxury boutique hotel. From the initial 3D design to the final touches, Encore Builders crafted an elegant and functional space that we couldnâ t be happier with. From the start, we envisioned a chic, modern look for our outdoor space, and Encore Builders nailed it with the clean, sophisticated design. Brandon and oz immediately understood my vision and I could tell they were strand up guys. I shopped around but it was a no brainer the second I met them. We instantly hit it off and I could tell they were knowledgeable. I saw their other jobs and was impressed right away. I showed them some inspo pics of what I wanted. Eventually, both the pool and fire pit were designed with sharp, rectangular shapes that give the space a sleek, upscale vibe. The straight lines of the pool and fire pit complement each other beautifully, creating a sense of balance and cohesion that ties the entire backyard together. The choice of materials and the high-end finishes truly make it feel like weâ re stepping into a private boutique resort every time we go outside. Every part of this project was carefully crafted- even the firepit. Positioned near the pool, it mirrors the chic simplicity of the poolâ s design, creating a sense of harmony across the space. The sleek, linear fire pit is made with modern stone materials that give it a luxurious feel while remaining durable and weather-resistant. The upscale design of the fire pit, with its clean lines and contemporary look, makes it the perfect centerpiece for evening gatherings. The 3D Design Process: A Vision Realized Encore Buildersâ 3D design process was a crucial part of the project. Being able to visualize how the pool, fire pit, and seating area would look together in a cohesive design allowed us to make informed decisions. It was during this phase that we finalized the size and placement of the rectangular fire pit in relation to the pool, ensuring the two elements worked together harmoniously. Seeing the 3D model helped us feel confident in our choices, especially with the bench design, where we could visualize how the warm wood would complement the sleek stone materials. The final result is exactly what we saw in the 3D design â and even more beautiful in person In addition to the pool and fire pit, Encore Builders created a custom barbecue area that matches the chic aesthetic of the rest of the space. The built-in grill, spacious countertops, and storage make it not only a stylish feature but also incredibly functional for hosting gatherings. As a couple that loves to host this was crucial For us! Encore Builders turned our backyard into a chic, upscale retreat that rivals the look and feel of a boutique hotel. If youâ re looking for a team that can deliver a modern, luxurious outdoor living space with precision and style, Encore Builders is the way to go. We are absolutely in love with the final result and look forward to enjoying our backyard for years to come! Oz and Brandon and the guys at Encore are truly unbeatable!"

"We are thrilled by the results! Mike and his crew took out 10 boxes of dirt from a hill in our back yard all manually! They then installed a 50 x 4ft retaining wall (fully permitted) on the hill. After that poured a 60 x 10 concrete deck and steps to our new upper deck that now overlooks the pool. They then covered the new wall and existing lower wall with new custom colored stucco. We have now doubled our backyard space and for the first time in 12 years be proud to show off our backyard!

"Motti was very personable and honest about what he thought would work for our front yard. He seemed to immediately understand our vision, and was able to create the look we wanted. He was also able to easily incorporate the fountain and leftover flagstone that we had already purchased. The work was done well and efficiently, including cleaning deep roots and removal of 2 large trees. The team was helpful within a couple days of the job completion after we realized that the sprinkler system was not working properly. My fear that the plants would die within weeks was unfounded -- only 2 plants died in the middle of the summer heat!"

"I thought he was a wonderful landscaper. I'd like to put in before and after pictures of what he did to our yard. I would highly recommend him. Our garden was dry and overgrown. The back yard had nothing in it.  He worked with me and we came up with a plan. He advised me what plants would work the best as I am not from this area. I showed him some ideas I wanted and we went to look at plants. He was happy to use my ideas.  Sometimes, a landscaper wants to use their own ideas. He was really helpful.  We needed rock work done in areas. He was willing to go with me and talk with people and advise me on this too. They put the patio down and he did the landscaping and rock. It turned out very nice."

FAQs for masonry work projects in Sylmar, CA

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.

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.
