Masonry work around Orangevale homes

Orangevale doesn't have a city hall of its own. It's part of unincorporated Sacramento County, so the county is the local government your project answers to, and we keep that in mind from the first visit. We come over from Rocklin for jobs here the same way we head into Folsom and Citrus Heights, but the calls here tend to run a little different. Lots are often roomier, so we see a lot of long garden and property-line walls, walkways out to a back gate or a shop, and brick that's been standing a good while.

The price moves with how much wall or paving there is, the material you pick, how easy the spot is to reach and what turns up once old mortar or a footing is opened. The schedule turns mostly on whether the county wants a permit first, and you'll get your own figure when I come out to look. On an older wall the real work is usually below the surface, because a crack you can see tends to start with a footing or water you can't.

  • We fix the cause, not the crack

    A wall that keeps cracking usually has water or a weak footing behind it, so we fix that first instead of smearing fresh mortar over the problem.

  • County permit paperwork handled for you

    Orangevale falls under Sacramento County, so when your job needs a permit we find out which county office covers your address and handle the paperwork with them.

  • Mortar mixed to suit your old brick

    Fresh mortar that's harder or a shade off from your old joints sticks out and can hurt old brick, so we mix to suit the wall we're working on.

Questions we hear in Orangevale

How do I get a building permit for masonry work in Orangevale?

Orangevale is in unincorporated Sacramento County, so building permits come from the county's Building Permits and Inspection Division, not a city. The county issues them for work that builds, enlarges, alters, repairs, moves or demolishes a building, and it takes plans electronically only. When your job needs one, we handle the paperwork with the county for you.

How do I know if my retaining wall in Orangevale needs a permit?

The county's general guide lists retaining walls up to 4 feet tall as exempt, measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of the wall, as long as the wall isn't supporting a surcharge, which is extra weight like a driveway or a slope sitting above it. A taller wall, or one carrying that kind of load, isn't on the exempt list, so plan on a permit. The footing counts toward the height, so we measure it with you at the estimate.

Do I need a permit for a paver driveway or walkway in Orangevale?

The county's general guide lists driveways and sidewalks among the work that needs no permit. Once a project grows past flat paving into a wall, like the retaining wall limit above, other rules come in, so we look at the whole plan before we dig.

When does a masonry contractor need a California state license?

The Contractors State License Board requires a state license for anyone building or altering a structure when the project needs a building permit, uses employees, or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials together. A bigger job can't be split into pieces under $1,000 to get around that, so be wary of anyone who offers to. We're licensed and insured.

How much does masonry work cost in Orangevale?

Your price comes down to the size of the job, the material, how easy the spot is to reach and what we find once the old work is opened. Stone usually runs more than block, a full rebuild runs more than repointing a few joints, and a job that needs a county permit adds that step. I'd rather tell you a small repair will do than sell you a rebuild, and you'll see the figure for your own job at the estimate.

What happens if masonry work starts in Orangevale before the permit is issued?

County inspectors issue a Stop Work Order when they find permit work under way with no permit issued. Applying isn't enough, because starting after you apply but before the permit is issued still breaks the state building code. That's why we wait for the issued permit before the first footing gets dug.
