Historic Building Restoration in San Bernardino

Downtown San Bernardino has numerous historic buildings that need specialized masonry care. Your older building requires brick restoration techniques that preserve its original character while meeting modern safety standards. We work on buildings throughout the downtown core, from Court Street to Arrowhead Avenue, where many structures date back to the early 1900s.

The brick on these older buildings deteriorates differently than modern materials. Years of weather exposure, settling foundations, and outdated construction methods create specific repair challenges. We carefully match the original brick color and size when replacing damaged sections. The mortar formula also matters because older buildings used softer lime-based mortar that allows the brick to breathe. Using modern hard mortar can actually damage historic brickwork.

Commercial property owners downtown often call us for facade repairs. Crumbling mortar, spalling brick, and water damage show up after decades of minimal maintenance. We restore these facades to safe, attractive condition while respecting the building's historic significance. This work helps revitalize downtown San Bernardino by bringing these beautiful old structures back to their former glory.

Foundation Repair Services

Many homes in San Bernardino show foundation problems as they age. Your house might have cracks in exterior walls, doors that stick, or visible separation between the foundation and walls. These signs indicate your foundation has shifted or settled unevenly. We see this frequently in older neighborhoods north of Highland Avenue and throughout the central part of the city.

The soil conditions here contribute to foundation movement. Expansive clay soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, putting constant stress on your foundation. Poor drainage makes this worse by allowing water to pool near your foundation. We address both the structural damage and the underlying drainage issues that caused the problem in the first place.

Our foundation repair work includes underpinning, crack repair, and waterproofing. We stabilize your foundation so it stops moving, then seal cracks to prevent water intrusion. Proper waterproofing protects your basement or crawl space from moisture damage. This comprehensive approach fixes the current problem and prevents future issues from developing.

Our Process

Here is how we work with you from start to finish.

Free Consultation & Quote

We start by visiting your property in San Bernardino to see exactly what you need. You show us the areas that need work, and we ask questions to understand your goals. We take measurements and photos to create an accurate estimate. Within one business day, you receive a detailed written quote that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. No pressure, no hidden fees. You get clear information to make the best decision for your property.

Commercial Masonry Solutions

Commercial properties throughout San Bernardino rely on durable masonry construction. Your business location needs exterior walls, loading docks, and structural elements that handle heavy use while looking professional. We work on retail buildings, warehouses, and office properties from the industrial areas along I-10 to businesses along Hospitality Lane near the university.

Block walls are common for commercial construction because they provide fire resistance, security, and low maintenance. We build and repair these walls for businesses throughout the city. Your property might need a new wall around a parking lot, repairs to an existing structure, or a complete rebuild after damage. We handle projects of all sizes while minimizing disruption to your business operations.

Storefront brick facades require regular maintenance to stay attractive and safe. Cracked mortar or loose bricks create liability issues and hurt your business image. We provide scheduled maintenance and emergency repairs for commercial clients. Our work happens on your timeline, whether that means working nights, weekends, or around your business hours to avoid interfering with your customers.

Residential Masonry Repairs

Homes in San Bernardino need various masonry repairs as they age. Your chimney might need rebuilding, your driveway could have settling pavers, or your patio walls might show cracks. We handle all these repairs for residential properties throughout the city. Each neighborhood has specific challenges based on the age of homes and local soil conditions.

Chimney problems are especially common in older homes. Years of temperature changes, weather exposure, and settling cause mortar to deteriorate and bricks to crack. A damaged chimney is both a safety hazard and an efficiency problem. We rebuild chimneys from the roofline up or make targeted repairs depending on the extent of damage. This protects your home and ensures your fireplace works properly.

Backyard masonry gets heavy use and shows wear over time. Your patio pavers might have weeds growing between them, settling that creates trip hazards, or damaged sections from heavy furniture. We repair and restore these outdoor spaces so you can enjoy them again. This work often costs less than complete replacement while giving you years of additional use from your existing patio or walkway.
