Winters is close to home. We work it the same way.

We're based in Davis, and Winters is one of the cities around it where we work, the same as Vacaville and Elk Grove.

Most calls start the same way. A brick wall is cracking, a chimney is losing mortar or a wall in the yard has started to lean, so I come out, find what made it fail and tell you straight what it needs, even when the answer is that it can wait.

We check the city side first. Then we plan the work.

Before I plan a job in Winters, I check what the city's building division will want for it, since that office issues building permits here. Price moves with the size of the job, the material and how much old work has to come out, and the schedule turns on any permit review. Your written estimate gives your figure.

Fix the cause first. The repair lasts longer that way.

When a crack gets patched and nobody asks why it opened, it usually opens again right beside the patch. Hard mortar packed into soft old brick can pull the face off the brick itself, and a retaining wall built with no drainage behind it tends to lean once the soil stays wet.

We plan around the cause. Where water did the damage, we give it a way out, and where the brick is old, we match the mortar to it so the repair looks like it belongs on your house.

One call starts it. I'm there from the visit to the walk-through.

  1. 01. Call or write

    I come out myself, look the job over with you and tell you what I think right there, including whether it can wait.

  3. 03. Your written estimate

    I follow up with a written estimate that lays out the work and the price, and it says so if the job needs a city permit.

Does my masonry project in Winters need a building permit?

Usually, if the work touches a structure, because the City of Winters wants a building permit before one is built, enlarged, altered, removed, demolished or repaired, as its building and code enforcement FAQ says. When your job needs one, we pull it and set up the inspections, or give you what you need to file it yourself.

Do I need a permit to rebuild my fence in Winters?

A wood, chain-link or vinyl fence 6 feet or under needs no permit, by the city's own list, though it still has to meet code and setbacks. A brick, block or stone wall isn't on that list, so ask the city's building division before you build one, and we'll go over it with you at the estimate.

Does a masonry contractor in Winters need a state license and a city business license?

Yes for the city license, and usually for the state one. Every contractor and subcontractor working in Winters needs a current city business license, renewed every year, and the Contractors State License Board requires a state license when the job needs a building permit, uses other workers or costs $1,000 or more in all.

Which building code does the City of Winters enforce?

The city enforces the 2025 California Building Code, the same state code that took effect across California at the start of 2026. That's the code a permitted job in Winters gets checked against at inspection.

Do I need to call before digging for a wall footing in Winters?

It's a good idea. Before digging starts, the city points owners to USA North Underground Service Alert at 1-800-227-2600, which shows where underground lines run on your property. We'll talk it through at the estimate so it's handled before anyone digs.

Got a wall that's cracking or leaning? Call us and ask.

Cracks are usually easier to fix while they're small, so tell us what you're seeing by phone or form and we'll set a time to come look.
