Learn MoreReach out by phone or fill out the form on this page. We will ask a few basic questions about what you are seeing - sticking doors, cracked bricks, a leaning wall. You do not need to know what the problem is called. We respond within 1 business day and can usually schedule an on-site visit within the week.
We come to your property, look at the problem up close, and give you a written estimate that explains what we found, what we recommend, and why. No pressure, no upsell. If the work requires a permit, we handle the application and include the fee in the estimate so there are no surprises.
Our crew does the work, handles any required city inspections, and cleans up before they leave. When the job is done, we walk you through what was completed and answer any questions. You get a written record of the work - which matters if you ever sell the home.
We hold a current California Contractors State License Board license and carry full liability and workers compensation coverage. Ask for our license number and proof of insurance before we start - any reputable contractor will hand them over without hesitation.
We come to your property, look at the problem in person, and give you a written estimate at no charge. Phone quotes for masonry work are not reliable - you deserve a real number from someone who has actually seen the job.
We have been serving the Inland Empire since 2017 and know the local soils, climate, and permit requirements. When you call, you reach our office - not a national call center - and the crew that shows up knows Redlands.
We pull required permits and schedule city inspections for every structural job. That means an independent inspector verifies the work - not just our word. And the permit record stays with your property, which matters when you sell.

We had diagonal cracks showing up on two interior walls and a back door that would not close right. They came out within a few days, explained exactly what was happening with the foundation, and finished the repair in two days. The door closes fine now and the cracks have stopped growing.
Robert M., Redlands - Foundation repair
Our chimney was original to the house - built in the 1930s - and we had not touched it in 20 years. They found crumbling mortar at the top and a cracked crown that was letting water in. The tuckpointing work blended in well and they matched the old mortar color closely. No more smoky smell in the living room.
Linda T., Loma Linda - Chimney repair
We wanted a retaining wall along the back of our property where the slope kept washing out after rain. They came out, assessed the drainage situation, and built a block wall that has held through two rainy seasons without any shifting. Exactly what we needed.

We respond within 1 business day - no obligation, no pressure. After you submit the form, someone from our office will call to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.

Clay soils expand when wet and shrink when dry - that annual cycle is the leading cause of foundation cracking in the San Bernardino Valley. Repairs that ignore soil behavior tend to fail again within a few years.
Both can work well, but concrete is more vulnerable to root damage and surface cracking in extreme heat without proper reinforcement. Pavers allow for individual replacement and flex slightly with ground movement.
Any time you actually feel shaking, your chimney is worth inspecting before using the fireplace. Even hairline cracks in the flue liner can allow heat to reach the wood framing of your home. The Chimney Safety Institute of America recommends annual inspections for chimneys that see regular use.
Tuckpointing is routine maintenance until the mortar fails completely and water gets behind the brick. At that point it becomes urgent - bricks can begin to spall, meaning their face pops off in layers, which costs significantly more to fix than repointing alone.
Natural stone is heavier and requires a structural backing. Manufactured stone veneer is lighter and easier to install on existing walls. For most residential exterior applications, high-quality veneer is indistinguishable from natural stone at normal viewing distance.
Yes. Homes built before 1950 used softer, lime-based mortar intentionally. Replacing it with hard modern mortar forces stress into the original brick and can cause cracking. The Brick Industry Association has published guidance on matching mortar hardness to original masonry materials.
Redlands Masonry & Concrete is a licensed and insured masonry contractor based in Redlands, CA, serving the Inland Empire since 2017. We hold a current license issued by the California Contractors State License Board, which is the state authority that oversees contractor licensing for structural and specialty work in California.
Since 2017, we have completed masonry projects across 16 service categories - from foundation stabilization and chimney repair to retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, and stone veneer installation. Every job comes with a written estimate, required permits pulled by our team, and a workmanship guarantee.
A crack that appeared after a wet winter and is still growing is worth a professional opinion sooner rather than later. Doors and windows that suddenly stick - especially in spring - often signal foundation movement, not just humidity.
A single crumbling joint on a garden wall is a reasonable DIY fix with premixed mortar. For anything on your home's main walls, chimney, or near a historic district, a professional ensures mortar type and color are matched correctly - wrong mortar can crack original bricks.
A leaning or cracked retaining wall will eventually fail under soil pressure. The longer it holds water and weight it cannot support, the more likely you are to need a full replacement rather than a repair - and the more soil you may lose behind it.
If you are not sure whether your masonry issue needs attention now or can wait, call us at (909) 488-7993 - we will tell you honestly what we see and what it means.
Redlands is a mid-sized city of roughly 75,000 people about 60 miles east of Los Angeles in San Bernardino County. It was founded in the 1880s as a citrus-farming community and grew quickly through the early 1900s, leaving behind one of the largest concentrations of Victorian and Craftsman-era homes in Southern California. Many of those original structures are still standing and still in use today. Homeowners near landmarks like Kimberly Crest House and Gardens and the Downtown Redlands Historic District live with masonry and brickwork that is over a century old.
The city has active historic preservation programs through the Redlands Historic and Scenic Preservation Commission, which can affect what materials and repair methods are acceptable for homes in designated areas. The University of Redlands, established in 1907, has helped keep the city owner-occupied and community-oriented, with residents who invest in maintaining their properties for the long term. Larger lots near the university and downtown often have older concrete driveways, brick walkways, and mature trees whose roots can lift and crack hardscape over decades. The city's urban forestry program maintains many of those mature trees - and their roots remain a real factor in concrete flatwork repair across older neighborhoods.
Redlands sits at about 1,300 feet elevation in the Inland Empire, giving it hot, dry summers that regularly exceed 100 degrees and winters mild enough for masonry work year-round outside the occasional frost. The clay-heavy soils underneath much of the valley expand in wet winters and shrink in dry summers - a cycle that is the primary driver of foundation problems, cracked driveways, and shifting retaining walls throughout the area.Redlands Masonry & Concrete has been working in this climate and on these soils since 2017, and we account for those local conditions in every estimate and repair we complete.
