Trusted Masonry Contractor in Vallejo CA - Masonry Done Right the First Time

Vallejo sits at the northern edge of San Francisco Bay, roughly 30 miles northeast of San Francisco, and draws homeowners who want more space and lower prices than the closer-in Bay Area cities offer. The city is best known for Mare Island, the first U.S. Navy base on the West Coast - the shipyard operated for over 140 years and shaped the entire character of the city before closing in 1996. Today it is being redeveloped, and the wider city has a mix of longtime residents who stayed through the lean years and newer arrivals drawn here by housing prices that are still well below the Bay Area average.

A large share of Vallejo homes were built between the 1940s and 1960s to house workers at the naval shipyard - these are the homes we work on most. Many are Craftsman bungalows or post-war ranch houses in neighborhoods around the historic downtown corridor and the Hillside District, with original brick chimneys, older foundation designs, and masonry that has been working hard through decades of bay fog and wet winters. In the hillside neighborhoods to the north and east, sloped lots with retaining walls are common - and those walls get stressed every wet season. Many residents commute to San Francisco by ferry from the Vallejo Ferry Terminal, which means they need work done efficiently and on a schedule that respects their time.
