Brick and stone work in Foothill Farms
Foothill Farms isn't a city of its own. It's unincorporated Sacramento County, running roughly from Walerga Road and Antelope Road east to the Citrus Heights line, so the County handles permits and building rules here no matter what your mailing address says. On our jobs here we mostly find neighborhoods of single-family homes, with brick fronts, block walls along back fences, front walks with a trip edge or two and now and then a chimney that's seen better days.
We come over from Rocklin the same way we head out to Orangevale, and the work is much the same. Price mostly follows how much has to come apart before we reach the cause and what we have to match, and the schedule turns on whether the County wants a permit first. On houses that have been around a while, matching the old brick and mortar is often most of the job.
What we do for Foothill Farms homes
Foundation repair
When a crack runs through a foundation wall or a brick front starts to lean, we find what's moving it before we patch anything.
Explore Foundation repairChimney repair
Chimneys usually lose mortar near the top first, where nobody looks. We rebuild the loose rows and keep the brick that's still sound.

Crumbling joints on a brick front let water in behind the face. We grind out the bad mortar and repack it to match.
Explore TuckpointingBrick repair
A few cracked or flaking bricks don't mean a whole new wall. We swap out the bad ones with brick that matches.
Explore Brick repairDriveway pavers
Pavers only stay as flat as the base under them, so on driveways we dig out and pack that base before laying a paver.

A retaining wall usually fails from the back, where water builds up. We build drainage behind yours, not just a nice face.

Some of the older brick and stone around here needs careful cleaning and repair, not tearing out. We'll tell you which yours is.

Adding a masonry fireplace to a family room is real structural work, so we plan the firebox, chimney and footing together from the start.

Stone veneer, a thin facing of stone, can dress up a plain front or fireplace. We set it on proper backing so it holds.

Block walls along back fences are common here. When one leans or cracks, we check the footing first, since that's usually where it started.

For an addition or a new garage, we lay the foundation block on a footing sized for what sits on it.

Plenty of backyards here have room for an outdoor kitchen. We build the block base and the brick or stone face around your grill.

A front walk takes every visitor and every delivery, so we build it on a packed base that keeps it flat underfoot.

A new brick garden or property wall should look like it belongs with the house. We pick brick and mortar color with you first.
Explore Brick wall installationStone masonry
Natural stone steps, planters and wall caps are slow, fitted work, so we set each stone until it sits solid without rocking.

If only some joints are worn, brick pointing refills just those, and it's often enough to hold off a bigger repair.

What Foothill Farms homes ask of masonry
I first mixed mortar on a family farm, where anything that broke got fixed at home. We've run this business since 2021, and I'd rather you understand every line of the job before you sign anything.
I look at the job myself
I come out to look at the job myself, and the same small crew I work beside does it, so what we talked about is what gets built.
We fix the cause, not the crack
Patching over a crack that's still moving just gives it something new to break. We find what's behind it and fix that first.
Straight answers on what can wait
If your chimney can wait, I'll tell you so instead of selling you a job. Ask me anything, because no question is too small.

Foothill Farms masonry questions
Do I need a permit for masonry work in Foothill Farms?
The County requires a building permit before work that builds, alters or repairs a building or structure, and in Foothill Farms that permit comes from Sacramento County Building Permits and Inspection. The County calls its permit list a general guide, so a new wall, an addition or structural repair is worth asking about before anything starts. When a job needs a permit, we find out which office covers your address and handle the paperwork with them.
How do I check whether County or city rules cover my Foothill Farms home?
Look up your parcel on the County General Map and read the Jurisdiction field, because it goes by your parcel and not your mailing city or ZIP. If it reads Unincorporated Area of Sacramento County, County rules apply, and if it shows a city name, that city's rules apply. Foothill Farms is County land, but a home near the Citrus Heights line is worth a quick look.
When does a masonry contractor need a CSLB license in California?
A contractor needs a license from the Contractors State License Board when the project requires a building permit, uses employee labor or has contracts totaling $1,000 or more in labor and materials. It's fair to ask any contractor about theirs before you sign. We're licensed and insured, and glad to talk about it.
How much does masonry repair cost in Foothill Farms?
The cost comes down to the size of the job, the material and how much has to come apart before we reach the cause. Natural stone takes longer to fit than block, a hard-to-reach back wall takes more hauling, and a bad footing under a cracked wall adds work that a surface patch never would. I'll walk it with you at the free estimate, so call (916) 666-6314 or use the form.
Do I need a written contract for masonry work in California?
Yes, California requires a written contract for any home improvement project over $500. The contract and any changes to it have to be in writing and tell you about your right to cancel. I'd rather you read every line and ask about it than sign something you don't follow.
How do I find out if my Foothill Farms home is in the Arcade Creek floodplain?
Call the County's Flood Zone Hotline at (916) 874-7517 with your parcel number, address and contact information, and they'll tell you whether your parcel is in a flood zone. Revised flood maps for Arcade Creek enlarged the floodplain and raised the expected flood levels, so some homes landed in it for the first time and their mortgage companies may now require flood insurance. It's good to know before foundation or wall work, so mention it when I come out.
