About our Novato masonry and concrete company
We're a masonry contractor in Novato, CA, working since 2017 on old brick, chimneys, walls and paving, and putting the most care into the parts you won't see.
From hauling block to running a Novato crew
I got into masonry as a helper on a small crew, mixing mortar and hauling block until the masons I worked under finally let me pick up a trowel. I started this business in Novato in 2017. These days we're best known for mortar work on old brick and chimneys, and we build walls and paving too.
Most people call us because something is crumbling, cracking or leaning, and they want a straight answer about it. I come out and look at every job myself, and my crew of masons does the work with me, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the work.
What I care about most is the stuff nobody looks at once the job's done, like the base, the drainage and the mortar mix. That's where masonry goes wrong, and it's usually years before anyone finds out. Bad mortar is patient that way. The full list of what we build and fix is on our home page.
Straight answers about what needs fixing and what doesn't
When I look at your job, I'll tell you plainly what needs doing now, what can wait and what you don't need at all. Then it's your call. We'd rather you spend money on the wall that's actually failing than on three things that'll be fine for years.
If your job needs a permit, we pull it and deal with the city for you. Whether it needs one is the city's call, and I'll tell you what I know when I come out. Questions come up partway through a job, too, and you'll get the answer from someone who's standing at it.
The part of the job you'll never see is the part that decides how long it lasts.
