Masonry Contractor in Florin, CA - Brick Repair and Walls That Stay Put
Advantage Davis Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Davis, CA, and we work in Florin too. We repair brick and mortar, rebuild cracked or leaning walls and lay paths and patios that stay put.
We work in Florin. Mostly on brick, mortar and walls.
Florin is a community in Sacramento County rather than a city of its own, so county rules shape most home work here, and we plan for them from the first visit.
The calls we get here are the same ones we get at home in Davis: brick or block that's cracking, mortar washing out, a garden wall that's started to lean. We do the same work in Elk Grove and Arden-Arcade.
We look first. Then we plan the fix.
Before I plan a job here, I look for why the brick or block failed, not just where. Price mostly follows how much has to come out, how hard your brick or stone is to match and whether a permit is involved, and the permit and materials set the schedule. The written estimate gives you your own number.
- Where water runs toward the wall
- Whether a crack is old or still moving
- Brick, stone and mortar that match yours
- Whether the job needs a county permit

Fix it once. Patching the symptom costs you twice.
When mortar gets patched with a mix that's harder than the brick, or a wall goes up on a thin base, the crack usually comes back and the brick around it can start to chip. Then you're paying to fix the fix.
We start with the cause, so if water is the trouble we deal with where it runs before we touch the wall. On new work like foundation block wall installation, we size the footing to the load it carries and match the face to your house, and I check the work as it goes.
One call starts it. Here's how the rest goes.

Does a masonry job in Florin need a Sacramento County permit?
Some masonry jobs do, so ask before work starts. The Sacramento County building permits office issues permits for the unincorporated county, and its list of typical projects names re-roofs, decks and water heaters, not brick or block. When your job needs one, we pull it and set up the inspections, or give you what you need to file it yourself.
What license should a masonry contractor working in Florin have?
A California contractor license from the Contractors State License Board, which licenses and regulates construction in the state and requires passing a law and business exam and a trade exam. A business based in the unincorporated county also needs the county's General Business License. We're licensed and fully insured.
How much can a contractor ask for up front on a home job in California?
No more than $1,000 or 10 percent of the contract price, whichever is less, under the board's rules for home improvement work. Later payments have to be listed in the contract and tied to work done or materials delivered. If someone asks for more up front, keep looking.
How do I find out if my Florin property is in a flood zone?
Call Sacramento County's Flood Zone Hotline at (916) 874-7517 if your parcel is in the unincorporated county. The county's map information service can also give base flood elevations and any elevation certificate it has on file. It's worth knowing before we plan a foundation wall or a retaining wall.
Wall cracking or leaning? Call for a free estimate.
Tell us where the crack is and how long you've noticed it, and we'll set a time to come look. Catching it early usually keeps the fix smaller.
