Customers say: Terrific value

"Victor Cruz masonry did great work for a fair price. They met all my expectations and left without me having to call them back to finish any lose ends. Besides pouring a well sloped and complete pad for my backyard, they also repaired a brick wall on two sides of my house damaged from extensive tree root systems. The finished job looked excellent from the repair and didnâ t need complete demolishing and repair like another company said was the only option. I would recommend Victor and his team for any masonry work."

"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!"

"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."

"I have been dreaming for a while now about new landscaping for my home! Josef with MVP Remodeling offered financing options to make that dream into a reality. I am so happy I found them! Josef was able to approve me on the spot to finance the project and started the work 3 days later! It took a week for the job to be done and I could not be happier!!!"

"What a great service! Conrad's professional expertise gave us a new sprinkler system with very dramatic lighting for accent. And the masonry work was added seamlessly. The men arrived promptly every morning and worked diligently to complete the project in a very timely manner. They even assisted in planting additional plants around the perimeter of the house! We were on a very tight schedule to accommodate a professional commitment and Del Mar rescheduled themselves to fit us in and completed the entire project as promised. And the added bonus - our neighbors commenting on the quick service and dramatic lighting. I can not say enough good things about this service. I would not hesitate to call on Del Mar Landscaping again.... and I will!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly outdoor brick pizza ovens—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons.

Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

Brick and stone are durable, low-maintenance materials that offer excellent insulation, aesthetic appeal, and can increase property value.

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.
