Foundation repair
We fix cracked and settling stem walls and footings on older houses, and we find out first why the crack opened so the repair holds instead of cracking again.
Masonry Contractor in Rancho Cucamonga, CA - Walls, Brick and Stone Done Once
Fieldstone Rialto Concrete and Masonry builds and repairs block walls, brick, stone, chimneys and pavers for homeowners in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, including Alta Loma, Etiwanda and Cucamonga. We do the work once, and we do it right.
Masonry work on Rancho Cucamonga homes
Rancho Cucamonga is really three older towns, Alta Loma, Etiwanda and Cucamonga, that grew into one city. A lot of it filled in fast during the 1970s, when families moved out from Los Angeles and Orange County for homes they could afford. On our jobs here, that means plenty of block walls, brick planters, chimneys and fireplaces that have been standing a long time, with newer tracts mixed in.
The price depends on how big the job is, the brick, block or stone you pick, whether old work has to come out first and how easy it is to get our crew and materials into your yard. The schedule usually turns on how much prep the site needs and whether the city wants a permit. I'll put your own figure in a written estimate after I walk the job with you.
We're based in Rialto, a short drive east, and we do the same work in Fontana, Upland and down in Riverside, so the crew that shows up here has seen plenty of walls like yours.
I walk every job myself
I'm the one who comes out to look and give you the estimate, and I'm on site running the crew while the work gets done, so you're not explaining things twice.
Older walls get checked first
On a wall that's been up for decades, I check the footing and the lean before quoting, because patching the face of a wall that's still moving just means paying twice.
Licensed and insured
We're licensed and insured, and our work is backed by our satisfaction guarantee, because the goal is a wall built once instead of a wall built twice.
Masonry services for Rancho Cucamonga homes
Chimney repair
When a chimney on a long-standing Rancho Cucamonga house has loose brick, a cracked crown or a lean, we rebuild it from sound brick up so the bad mortar below doesn't keep failing.
Tuckpointing
We grind out worn, sandy mortar joints and refill them with new mortar close in color, which keeps water out of the wall and makes old brick look sharp again.
Brick repair
When bricks in planters, steps or walls crack, flake or come loose, we cut them out and replace them one at a time with brick close to the original, so the fix doesn't stand out.
Driveway pavers
We dig out the old driveway, pack a solid base and lay pavers that can take a car's weight, because a thin base is what makes pavers sink and rock later.
Retaining wall construction
On sloped yards we build retaining walls with drainage behind them, since water trapped against the back of a wall is what pushes most of them over.
Masonry restoration
For brick and stone that's been weathering for decades, we clean, repoint and replace damaged pieces, keeping the original look instead of covering it over or tearing it all out.
Fireplace installation
We build new brick and stone fireplaces and rebuild tired fireboxes, and I'll tell you up front if your existing one is better repaired than replaced.
Stone veneer installation
Thin stone set over an existing wall can cover a house front, a column or a fireplace surround, and we prep the surface underneath properly so the stone stays put.
Concrete block walls
Leaning or cracked block walls between yards are one of our most common calls, and we'll tell you straight whether yours can be repaired or needs to come down and be rebuilt.
Foundation block wall installation
We lay block foundation walls for additions, garages and raised floors on a footing sized for the load, because everything built on top depends on that first row of block being level.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build outdoor kitchen islands, counters and grill surrounds in block, brick or stone, laid out around where your gas, water and power can actually reach in the backyard.
Walkway construction
We build front walks and side-yard paths in pavers, brick, stone or concrete on a packed base with the right slope to shed water, so they stay flat and don't become a trip hazard.
Brick wall installation
We build new brick garden walls, planters and property-line walls on a proper footing with solid joints, so they look clean from the street and stay straight.
Stone masonry
We set natural stone for walls, steps, columns and planters, fitting each piece by hand so the joints stay tight and the work looks like it belongs to the house.
Brick pointing
When only some joints are cracked or missing, we point just those, filling the gaps with fresh mortar so you're not paying to redo a whole wall that's mostly sound.

Send the form and we'll get back to you within one business day to set a time. I come out, walk the job with you, measure and take photos, then give you a free written estimate with no obligation.
A written estimate you can compare
The estimate spells out what we'll do and why, so you can set it next to another bid and see exactly where the two differ.
A quick yes or no
If a job isn't worth doing, or a patch won't hold, I'll tell you at the estimate, because nobody should sit around wondering where things stand.
Tell us what you're seeing
A line in the form about the crack, lean or loose brick, and roughly where it is, helps me know what to look at first when I come out.
Questions about masonry work in Rancho Cucamonga
These are straight answers on permits, licenses and payments, the things homeowners here ask before they hire someone for a wall or chimney.
Do I need a permit for a block wall or masonry job in Rancho Cucamonga?
The City of Rancho Cucamonga decides that, so ask its Building and Safety office before work starts. The city takes all permit applications online through its Online Permit Center. When a job needs a permit, we handle the application and we're there for the inspections. If I'm not sure whether yours needs one, I check with the city first.
Does a masonry contractor need a city business license to work in Rancho Cucamonga?
Yes. The city requires a business license before anyone starts doing business inside its limits, and the license is renewed every year. That's separate from the state contractor license, which the Contractors State License Board issues for the trade itself. When you're comparing contractors, it's fair to ask about both.
How much can a contractor ask for as a down payment in California?
Under the state board's rules, a down payment on a home improvement job can't be more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less. Every other payment has to be listed in the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered. If a bid asks for more up front, that's a reason to slow down.
