What we check on a Modesto property
Most of our calls, here and around Turlock, start with something the homeowner has spotted. It might be mortar crumbling out of the joints, a crack running up a wall, or a project they want built right the first time. When I walk your property, I'm looking for the cause before I talk about a patch, because a repair that skips the cause just moves the problem somewhere else.
If you want something new, like a block wall along a property line, a walkway or a paver driveway, I look at the ground first. A wall or a walkway only holds up as well as what's under it.
Mortar joints
Where mortar is soft or falling out, we check the brick too, because mortar harder than the brick can crack the brick faces later.
Cracks and lean
A crack running through a wall usually points to the footing or to water behind it, so we find that before we patch the crack.
Chimney brick
Where a chimney has loose brick or open joints, we look at it up close. Our chimney repair page covers what that work involves.
Covering Modesto from our Turlock base
We're based in Turlock and work across the cities around it in Stanislaus and Merced counties, and Modesto is one of them. The same crew also takes jobs in Delhi, Ceres and Salida.
When you call (209) 410-9284 or send the form, we set a time for me to come out. I look at the job myself, and our crew lead and masons do the work. We're licensed and insured. Have photos of the problem ready, plus any old plans or permits for the house.
Price comes down to how much brick or block is involved, how deep the damage goes and how hard the spot is to reach. The schedule turns on the size of the job and whether it needs a permit and city inspections. Your estimate is where I write up what I'd do.

Do I need a building permit for masonry work in Modesto?
If the job is construction, plan on one, because the City of Modesto requires permits so work is done properly and meets life safety requirements and building codes. The city's Building and Development Services team helps residents with building permits, and when your job needs one, we handle the application and paperwork.
Does a block wall fence in Modesto need a permit?
The city says a fence 7 feet tall or less doesn't need a permit, but you still need to check setbacks with Planning at (209) 577-5267. Before we build, we confirm with the city how your wall's height and design are treated.
When do I request a building inspection in Modesto?
Request it before any permitted work gets covered up or built over, so the city can confirm the work meets its building and safety codes. Requests go through the city's eTRAKiT online permits portal. On jobs we pull a permit for, we plan the work around those inspections.
Should I repoint or rebuild a cracked brick wall?
Repoint when the brick is solid and only the mortar is failing, because new joints fix it without tearing out a good wall. If the brick is cracked through or the wall has moved, the cause is usually underneath, and I'd fix that before rebuilding anything.
