Request an estimateReedley: older brick next to newer block
Reedley calls itself the World's Fruit Basket, and it still feels like a farm town when you're working in it. We see older homes near the middle of town with brick chimneys, steps and planters, and newer neighborhoods with block walls, paver drives and roomy backyards, a lot like what we find next door in Parlier and Sanger.
That mix decides what kind of job you've got. On the older houses it's mostly repair, because brick that's been out in the weather for decades usually needs its joints redone, a cracked step fixed or a chimney looked at before small trouble turns into big trouble. On the newer lots it's mostly building something new, like a wall along the back fence or a place to cook outside, and the questions there are layout, footing and how it'll sit next to the house. Either way, I start by figuring out what the brick or the ground is doing before I tell you what I'd do about it.
Working in Reedley: what to know before we start
If your house is inside city limits, the City of Reedley is your local government, and when a masonry job needs a permit, we take care of it with the city or county office for your address and go over it with you at the estimate. We're licensed and insured. The price moves with the size of the job, how much old brick or mortar has to come out and how hard the spot is to reach, while the schedule mostly turns on how much there is to take apart and how long it takes to find brick that matches. You get your own figure when I write the estimate on site.
We come down from Clovis, where we're based, and Reedley is one of the cities we work in, along with Kingsburg and plenty of places in between. On a lot of properties here we can pull the truck close to the work, which keeps hauling simple, but a tight side yard behind an older house means more carrying by hand, and that shows up in the estimate.
Services in Reedley, CA
Tuckpointing
Crumbling joints on the older brick houses here let water in behind the face. We grind out the worn mortar and refill the joints with a mix no harder than the brick.
Brick repair
Older Reedley homes often have a cracked brick step or a planter flaking near a downspout. We cut out the bad brick and set the closest match we can find.
Chimney repair
A stained brick chimney on an older house here usually starts with a cracked crown, the concrete cap. We find where the water gets in and fix that first.
Concrete block walls
Newer subdivisions here often want a block wall along the back property line. We pour a proper footing first, since a wall stays only as straight as what's under it.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Big Reedley backyards are made for cooking outside, and grill counters come up a lot. Our outdoor kitchen masonry sits on a solid slab with a brick or stone face.
Driveway pavers
Cracked concrete driveways on older homes here are a common call. We lay pavers on a packed gravel base, so a sunken spot can be lifted and reset.

Frequently asked questions
Is Reedley, CA in Fresno County?
Yes, Reedley is in Fresno County, southeast of Fresno. Since the city has its own government too, which office handles any paperwork for your job depends on your address, and I sort that out with you at the estimate.
How much does a masonry contractor cost in Reedley?
Your price comes from the job itself, and I'll give you a written figure after I've seen it on site. The big swings are how much old mortar or brick has to come out, whether we have to match older brick, how high a chimney sits and how deep a new wall's footing needs to go. Brick or stone facing costs more than plain block, and a simple layout costs less than one with lots of corners and steps.
How do I tell if the mortar on my Reedley house needs repointing?
If you can scrape sand out of the joints with a key, or the mortar has sunk back from the face of the brick, it's time to have the joints redone. Loose or cracked bricks mean the job is bigger than repointing, which is refilling the joints with fresh mortar, so I check for those first.
What causes cracks in a block wall in a Reedley backyard?
Most cracks in a block wall come from what's under it, usually a footing that was too shallow or too narrow for the wall's height. Sprinklers soaking the base and tree roots pushing against it make things worse, so I look at the footing and the drainage before deciding whether to patch or rebuild.
Who does the work when you take a masonry job in Reedley?
Our crew does the work, and I'm on site with them the whole way. Since I'm also the one who comes out and writes the estimate, the person who looked at your job is the same one keeping an eye on how it gets done.
Should I repair or rebuild an old brick planter or garden wall in Reedley?
Repair it if the wall stands straight and the trouble is in the joints or a few bricks, because that saves the old brick and costs less. If it's leaning or the crack runs through the bricks themselves, the footing has usually moved and a patch won't hold, so I'd rather rebuild it the right way than leave you with a fix that gives out early.
