Masonry Contractor in Roseville, CA - Walls, Paths and Brick That Stay Put
Advantage Davis Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Davis that works in Roseville, repairing brick, chimneys and foundations and building retaining walls, walkways, paver driveways and stone veneer that look like they belong.
We plan Roseville work around water. Seven creeks meet here.
The city says seven creeks run through Roseville and join inside city limits, and that flooding is possible every winter. Less than seven percent of property here is affected, the city says, and most of that is open space.
It still shapes how we work. Before we set a retaining wall, a walkway or a paver driveway, I look at where the water goes, the same as on our jobs in Rancho Cordova.
I look before I price. Then we plan the job.
Before I plan a Roseville job, I find out why it failed, what's under it and where the water lands. The price turns on the size, the material, how easy it is to get to and what we find once it's open. The schedule turns on any permit the city needs. Your written estimate gives you your own figure.
- Why it cracked, leaned or leaked
- Where water drains around the work
- Whether the job needs a city permit
- Whether the work reaches the sidewalk or street

Good masonry stays put. Bad masonry costs you twice.
When a wall goes up with no drainage behind it, water builds up and pushes it out of line. When brick gets patched with the wrong mortar, the patch cracks and the brick beside it starts to crumble. Either way you pay to tear it out and do it again.
So I fix the reason it failed first, then the part you can see. We match mortar to the old brick, give water a way out and set stone veneer over a sound backing, so the work looks like it belongs on your house.

Roseville masonry questions, answered. Here's what to know first.
Read the answers below before you hire anyone. If your question isn't here, call (530) 298-0279 and I'll answer it straight.
Do I need a permit for masonry work in Roseville?
Some masonry jobs in Roseville do, and you're responsible for making sure any permit the job needs gets pulled. The city's Development Services Department issues building permits to the owner or to a licensed contractor. When a permit's needed, we pull it and set up the inspections, or give you what you need to file it yourself.
What happens if work starts in Roseville without a permit?
You can owe an extra fee. Anyone who starts work before getting the permits it needs is subject to a fee set by the building official, on top of the regular permit fees, and the city has a process for approving work done without one. That's why we settle the permit question before we start.
Does a masonry contractor in California need a state license?
Yes, when the job needs a building permit, uses employees or its contracts total $1,000 or more, labor and materials counted. The state Contractors State License Board also says a contractor has to be licensed before bidding. We're licensed and fully insured.
Does a contractor from outside Roseville need a city business license?
Yes. The city requires a business license for any business activity inside Roseville, even when the business is based outside city limits, and Placer County's own license isn't needed for work done only in the city. It's a fair thing to ask any contractor about before you sign.
Do I need a separate permit for driveway work that reaches the sidewalk in Roseville?
Yes, if the work reaches into the public right-of-way, the city requires an encroachment permit before any construction there. The rule doesn't cover work wholly on your own property, so it mostly comes up where a driveway or walkway meets the sidewalk or street. I'll flag it at the visit.
