Historic Masonry Restoration in Downtown San Rafael
Downtown San Rafael showcases beautiful historic architecture along Fourth Street and around the Marin County Civic Center area designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Many buildings in this district feature brick facades, stone details, and decorative masonry from the early to mid-1900s that require specialized restoration work. We restore historic brickwork using period-appropriate techniques and materials that preserve the character of these structures while addressing modern concerns like seismic safety and water infiltration. The mild but moist Marin County climate means mortar joints deteriorate over time, especially on older buildings. Properties near San Rafael Creek and throughout the West End neighborhood need regular maintenance to prevent water damage. We work with building owners and historic preservation guidelines to maintain San Rafael architectural heritage.
Terra Linda and Marinwood Hillside Properties
The neighborhoods climbing into the hills around Terra Linda and Marinwood present interesting challenges for masonry work. Properties along Las Gallinas Avenue, Del Ganado Road, and throughout the Lucas Valley area sit on slopes that require retaining walls and terracing to manage elevation changes. Many homes in Terra Linda were built in the 1960s and 1970s and now need chimney repairs and foundation work as original masonry shows its age. The hillside terrain means we often design multi-level outdoor spaces with stone walls, built-in seating, and fire features that work with the natural grade. San Rafael gets more rain than many Bay Area cities, so proper drainage is critical for any hardscape project. We plan for water management from the start to prevent erosion and protect your home.

Outdoor Living Spaces Throughout San Rafael
San Rafael homeowners want beautiful outdoor spaces that work with Marin County lifestyle and mild climate. We build custom patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire features throughout Dominican, Gerstle Park, and the Sun Valley neighborhoods. Properties near Peacock Gap and along the Canal have flatter terrain that makes large entertaining areas possible, while hillside homes benefit from terraced designs that create multiple outdoor rooms at different elevations. We use natural stone, quality pavers, and architectural details that complement San Rafael home styles, from classic Eichlers in Terra Linda to contemporary designs in Marinwood. The goal is creating functional outdoor living space that you can enjoy year-round while adding value to your property.
