Careful masonry repair and building

for older homes and new projects

I grew up on a family farm, where you fixed a cracked barn wall yourself because nobody else was coming. I learned masonry beside older masons, and today our crew repairs brick, block and stone and builds new walls, walkways and outdoor kitchens. Most calls come from an older wall or chimney showing its age.

We're based in Santa Barbara and work in the cities around it, from Goleta and Isla Vista up the coast to Montecito, Carpinteria and Ventura. Call (805) 456-2871 or send us a note, and you can read more about us and how we started.

You'll get a straight answer on what your wall needs and what can wait, from the person who'll be doing the work.

  • The owner, start to finish

    You deal with me from the first look at the job to the final cleanup, and I work on the wall alongside our crew. Nobody hands your job off halfway through.

  • Only failed work gets fixed

    We repair the brick and stone that have actually failed and leave sound work alone, so you aren't paying to redo good masonry. If a crack can wait, I'll tell you.

Masonry repair done right

for walls that have to hold

A wall that leans, cracks or sheds mortar is telling you something. We find out what before we pick up a trowel.

Good masonry keeps water out of the wall and keeps a chimney, a foundation or a retaining wall carrying its load. So I start by working out why yours failed, whether that's water, settling soil or the wrong mortar, because patching a crack without fixing its cause usually just brings it back.

How we work

    Call (805) 456-2871 or use the form, and you'll hear back from us within one business day.

  2. I look it over

    I come out, look the job over with you and give you a free estimate on site, with no obligation to go ahead.

    If you go ahead, we sort out any permit, do the work with me on the crew, and walk the finished job with you before we pack up.

Why Santa Barbara homeowners choose C&D

  • Mortar matched to your wall

    New mortar is mixed to suit the wall it goes into, because a mix that's too hard can damage older brick and stone.

  • Permits handled by address

    We find out whether the city, the county or the campus covers your address. In Santa Barbara, building permits come from the city's Building and Safety Division, and we handle any application.

  • Repairs and new builds

    We work in brick, block, stone and concrete, so a chimney repair, a retaining wall and a paver driveway can all go to the same crew.

  • Your satisfaction, guaranteed

    That's the promise on every job. Because I'm on site with the crew, anything you're unhappy with comes straight to the person doing the work.

Call (805) 456-2871 and I'll come out, look at your wall with you and tell you plainly what it needs.

Your local masonry crew

working alongside the owner

Our crew handles repair and new building in brick, block, stone and concrete, including:

Our crew works with me on every job, so there's no gap between the estimate and the work. We cover what's next to the wall, keep tools and materials out of your way, and let you know ahead of time when we'll need water, power or the driveway.

Our commitment to Santa Barbara homes

explained plainly, done carefully

Before work starts, I show you what has failed, what's still sound and what can wait, and why. If a wall turns out different once it's open, I'll show you what we found and talk it over with you before we go further.

On the farm you fixed things so they stayed fixed, and I still work that way, taking the time a wall needs instead of the fastest route. When a permit is part of the job, I tell you up front how the review time fits the schedule.

You'll understand what your wall needs and why before work starts, explained in plain words by the person doing it.

Describe your job for a free estimate

Tell us what you're seeing and where the job is. We'll reply within one business day, and I'll set a time to look it over, with no obligation.
