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 or send a note
Call (805) 456-2871 or use the form, and you'll hear back from us within one business day.
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.
The work and walk-through
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.

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.
