Foundation repair
We look at where the cracks run and what's pushing on them before we repair, so the fix deals with the cause and not just the crack you can see.
Masonry contractor in Redlands, CA - brick and block repairs that match
Superior Yucaipa Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Yucaipa that works across Redlands, repairing brick, block and stone to match what's already there and building walls, walkways and hardscape that get planned before anyone digs.
What masonry work in Redlands usually involves
Redlands is the next city over from Yucaipa, where I started this business in 2017, so it's a short drive for me to come out and for our crew to bring the mixer. The calls we get there sound a lot like the ones from Highland: mortar wearing out of older brick, block walls with a crack running through them, and yards people want walled or paved properly. Redlands has its own city code, and home projects inside the city fall under it, so we read up on what it asks of your kind of work before we plan it. We're licensed and insured.
What moves the price is how much brick, block or stone is involved, how far the damage goes once we open it up, how hard the old material is to match and how easily we can get materials and equipment into your yard. The schedule turns on finding a matching brick or stone, the size of the job and how long mortar or concrete needs before the next step, and your estimate puts all of that in writing for your house. On older brick the work is mostly about finding why it failed and matching it, and where a yard slopes, it's about the footing and the water behind the wall.
I write the estimate myself
I come out, look at the job and write the estimate myself, and I'm on site while our crew of masons works, checking the job as it goes.
Walls planned before we dig
Retaining walls, block walls and hardscape get planned first, with the footing, drainage and layout worked out ahead, because changing a wall once it's half built costs you more.
Repairs that match your house
When we fix brick or block, we match the size, color and mortar joint of what's already on your house, so the repair doesn't stand out against the original work.
Masonry services we offer in Redlands
Chimney repair
A cracked crown, the concrete cap on top, lets water into the chimney, so we repair it along with loose brick and worn joints before the damage spreads inside.
Tuckpointing
We grind out worn mortar, fill the joints in a color close to the brick, then run a thin line on top so the joints look crisp and even again.
Brick repair
Cracked, flaking or loose bricks get cut out and replaced one at a time, so the wall around them stays sound and undisturbed while we work.
Driveway pavers
A paver driveway lasts when the base under it is dug deep enough and packed firm, so that's where we spend the time before the first paver goes down.
Retaining wall construction
Water building up behind a retaining wall is what usually pushes it over, so we plan drainage, gravel backfill and footing before we dig on a sloped yard.
Masonry restoration
Older brick and stone work gets cleaned, repaired and given new mortar suited to its age, because a mortar harder than the brick can crack the face of it.
Fireplace installation
We build masonry fireplaces with the firebox, the lined chamber where the fire sits, and the hearth laid out to fit your room, using firebrick made for the heat.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer is a thin stone face set over a wall, and it holds up when the backing and moisture barrier behind it are right, so we start there.
Concrete block walls
Block walls along property lines and side yards need a solid footing and steel where it belongs, so we check each row as it goes up.
Foundation block wall installation
A block foundation wall carries the weight above it, so we set it on a proper footing, keep it level and grout the hollow cores where the plans call for it.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build the block base, counters and stone or brick facing for outdoor kitchens, and plan the openings for your grill, sink and lines before we start laying.
Walkway construction
A walkway in brick, pavers, stone or concrete needs to shed water away from the house and stay even underfoot, so we set the slope and the base first.
Brick wall installation
New brick garden and boundary walls get a footing sized for the wall and a brick and mortar picked to suit your house, so the wall looks like it belongs there.
Stone masonry
Natural stone walls, steps and columns take patience to fit because every stone is a different shape, and we set each one so it sits firm on the ones below.
Brick pointing
Fresh mortar in open or cracked joints keeps water out of the wall, and we shape and color each joint to match the rest of your brickwork.

Redlands masonry questions homeowners ask us
Here are practical questions Redlands homeowners often ask about the city's building code, our estimates and getting brick, block and stone work done right.
Which building code does Redlands use for masonry work?
Redlands uses the 2025 California Building Code, Volumes 1 and 2, which the city adopted as its building code with some parts of the state text changed locally. It sets the standards building work in the city follows, so it's what we read when we plan a wall or a repair in Redlands.
Where can I see the building code Redlands adopted?
You can ask the office of the City Clerk in Redlands, which keeps the adopted building code on file. It's worth a look if you want to read the rules your project falls under, and if any of it is hard to follow, I'm happy to go over what it means for your wall or repair at the estimate.
Why does my brick wall keep cracking after it's been patched?
Usually because the patch covered the crack and missed what caused it, such as water getting behind the brick, a footing that's moving or joints that have worn open. We look for that cause before we fix anything, because a repair that skips it tends to show up again in the same spot.
