We work in Vacaville. Brick, block and stone, fixed at the cause.

We're based in Davis and work in Vacaville the same way we do at home. Most calls start with something cracking, leaking or leaning, like a brick wall pulling away, a cracked front step or a chimney that needs chimney repair because water's getting in.

If you've got family or a rental up in Woodland or over in Fairfield, we work there too.

I look before I price. Then we plan the work.

Before I plan a job in Vacaville, I check whether your address is inside City limits, because the City's Building Division reviews and inspects new construction and improvements to existing structures there. Then I look for the reason the brick, block or stone failed, since that's the part we're really fixing.

  • Where water goes when it rains
  • Mortar that suits older brick
  • What's underneath, where a wall leans

Do it once. Fix the reason it failed.

Bad masonry usually fails at the same spot twice. A wall gets rebuilt without fixing the water behind it, or a crack gets filled with mortar harder than the old brick, so the brick takes the stress and starts to break up. Then you're paying for it again.

I find the cause before I price the fix, and I'll say so if a repair can wait. We match the mortar and the look to your house, so the work holds and looks like it belongs.

Who handles building permits for masonry work in Vacaville?

The City of Vacaville's Building Division does. It issues permits to build, improve and remodel buildings and the improvements that go with them, and it reviews and inspects that work inside City limits. When your job needs a permit, we pull it, set up the inspections and keep you posted.

Can I pull my own masonry permit in Vacaville as the homeowner?

Yes, the City has a route for owner/builder permits. Property owners register under a Public User account, which is closed to contractors, their employees and the permit runners they hire. If you'd rather file it yourself, we'll give you what you need for it.

Does a masonry contractor in Vacaville need a California state license?

Usually, yes. The Contractors State License Board says a license is required when the project requires a building permit, uses any additional workers, or has contracts totalling $1,000 or more in labor and materials. We're licensed and fully insured.

Does a contractor need a Vacaville business license to work in the city?

Yes, if they're charging for work inside City limits. The City counts anyone who charges fees for a product or service there as a business, and its business license is what lets a business operate in Vacaville. Those licenses expire April 30 every year, so a current one is fair to ask about.

What building code does the City of Vacaville enforce?

California's building standards code, known as Title 24, along with the City's local amendments. The Building Division enforces it, and state law required cities to put the 2025 edition in place by January 1, 2026. When your job needs a permit, that's the code the City checks the work against.

Tell us the address and what you're seeing, and we'll set a time to come look, since a crack usually costs more the longer water gets in.
