Crockett has some of the most interesting historic architecture in Contra Costa County. Many homes along Pomona Street and the hillside neighborhoods date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s when this was a thriving company town. These older homes feature beautiful brick chimneys, foundations, and decorative masonry details that need specialized care to preserve their character while keeping them structurally sound.
We specialize in historic brick restoration that matches the original materials and techniques. This means sourcing bricks that match the size, color, and texture of your existing masonry, and using traditional lime-based mortars when appropriate. We work carefully to preserve architectural details while making necessary repairs. Whether your Victorian-era chimney needs repointing or your old foundation has cracks, we handle the work with the respect these historic structures deserve.

Crockett sits right on Carquinez Strait, which brings constant salt air that accelerates masonry deterioration. If you live anywhere near the waterfront or down near the C&H Sugar refinery, your brick and mortar take a beating from salt spray and moisture. You'll see white salt deposits on brickwork, mortar that crumbles easily, and metal ties that rust faster than they should in other areas.
We use specialized tuckpointing techniques and salt-resistant mortar formulas designed for coastal environments. This includes proper joint profiles that shed water and breathable sealers that let moisture escape while keeping salt out. Regular maintenance keeps your masonry healthy despite the harsh waterfront conditions. For homes with direct water views across the strait, we recommend inspection and touch-ups every few years to catch problems before they become expensive repairs.
We make masonry work straightforward and stress-free. From your first call to final cleanup, we handle everything with clear communication and quality workmanship. Here's what you can expect when you work with us.
We come to your Crockett property to look at the work you need done. No generic quotes over the phone. We check the condition of your masonry, take measurements, and talk through your options. You tell us what you want, and we explain what's possible and what makes sense for your budget. We provide a detailed written estimate before any work begins, so you know exactly what you're getting.
Most of Crockett climbs steeply uphill from the waterfront, and properties above Pomona Street often have significant elevation changes. If your yard slopes down toward the strait or you have a steep driveway cutting up the hillside, you probably need terraced landscaping with retaining walls to make the space usable. The compact nature of Crockett means yards tend to be smaller, so every square foot of level ground matters.
We build stone, block, and concrete retaining walls that maximize your outdoor space while preventing erosion. Our walls include proper drainage to handle runoff during winter storms. Many Crockett properties have old walls that are starting to lean or crack, especially on steeper lots. We can repair existing walls or rebuild them completely with modern engineering and materials. The combination of slopes, seismic requirements, and salt air means retaining walls here need extra attention to detail, which is exactly what we provide.
