P&J Rancho Cucamonga Concrete & Masonry is a masonry contractor working in Glendora, CA. We repoint worn brick, repair chimneys, build block and retaining walls, and lay pavers and stone for homes from the flats to the foothills.
Glendora runs from flatter, established neighborhoods up into streets that climb toward the foothills of the Angeles National Forest, and the masonry changes as you go. Lower down, we mostly see brick that needs repointing, chimneys that have had a long run, and garden walls that have started to lean. Up the hill, the calls are more about yards that need leveling and the walls that hold them. It's much the same mix we work on in Upland and Pomona, just with more slope.
That slope shapes most of what we plan here. A wall on a sloped lot has more to hold back, so it needs a deeper footing and a way for water to get out from behind it, and getting block and stone up a steep driveway takes more planning than a flat lot does.
When a stem wall or footing has cracked or settled, we open it up, find out how far it goes, and plan the repair around what we find.
Explore serviceA chimney with loose bricks, a cracked cap or open joints gets looked at from the roof down, so we repair the cause and not just the crack.
Explore serviceWe grind out worn mortar joints and pack new mortar in, matching the color so the repair blends into the older brick instead of standing out.
Explore serviceCracked, flaking or loose bricks get cut out and replaced one at a time, and the plan turns on finding brick that matches yours in size and color.
Explore serviceWant a driveway with some character? We dig out, pack a firm base and set interlocking pavers, because the base decides how long the driveway stays flat.
Explore serviceOn a yard that climbs toward the foothills, a retaining wall holds back the slope, and its height, footing and the drainage behind it shape the whole plan.
Explore serviceFor older brick and stone that's tired all over, we clean, repoint and replace what's failed, keeping as much of the original work as we can.
Explore serviceWe build masonry fireplaces indoors and out, and the plan starts with where it sits, how it vents and what any insert's maker calls for.
Explore serviceStone veneer is a thin stone face set over a wall, and getting the backing and moisture barrier right underneath matters more than the stone you pick.
Explore serviceBlock walls are a big part of what we're known for, laid on a proper footing with steel and grout in the cells so the wall stays straight.
Explore serviceWhen a garage, addition or raised floor needs a block foundation, we set out the footing and lay block to what your project's drawings call for.
Explore serviceYou pick where you cook and what grill goes in, and we build the block base, counters and stone or brick facing around it to fit.
Explore serviceA walkway in brick, pavers or stone gets a dug and compacted base and a slight slope, so water runs off instead of sitting on the path.
Explore serviceA garden wall or low brick wall out front starts with the footing, then the brick pattern and cap we choose to suit your house.
Explore serviceWe lay natural stone for walls, steps and planters, and the plan depends on the stone's shape, since fieldstone and cut stone go together very differently.
Explore servicePointing is the finish on fresh mortar joints, and we tool them to match the shape of your existing joints so new and old read as one wall.
Explore serviceBuilding permits in Glendora go through the city's Building & Safety Division, which also handles the inspections, so when your job needs a permit, its review and inspection dates set the start and the pace. Before you hire anyone, check that they hold a City of Glendora business license, because the city requires every business working inside city limits to have one and pay its business license tax before starting. We're licensed and insured, and before we start we check what the city asks for on your kind of job, then handle the application and line up the inspections when a permit is needed.
The price here mostly comes down to size and ground: how long and tall the wall is, how much old work comes out first, what material you choose, and how hard it is to get a crew and a load of block to the spot. The schedule turns on permit timing when there is one, material delivery and how much tear-out comes first. Hillside yards are familiar ground for us, since we build the same kind of walls out in Highland. I come out, look at the job myself and give you the estimate, so your number comes from your yard and not a guess.
Tell us about the wall, chimney or brick you're looking at, through the form or at (909) 360-4010, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out to your property myself, look at it with you and give you the estimate, free and with no obligation.
(909) 360-4010You apply online through the city's Civic Access portal, since the city no longer takes building permit applications by email. You'll need an account to start, and the portal is where plans get uploaded, review status gets tracked and inspections get scheduled. When your masonry job needs a permit, we handle that application and the inspections for you.
Check your address with the city, which has a Fire Hazard Severity Zone map adopted by the City Council. A city update from March 2025, before the map was adopted, counted 5,149 acres as very high, 578 as high and 555 as moderate. Let us know your zone when we come out, since it's worth having in hand before you plan a fireplace, chimney or outdoor kitchen.
On projects the city covers, yes, because state law requires that 65% of construction and demolition debris be recycled or reused, and those projects have to submit a waste management plan. Old block, brick and concrete usually sort out easily for recycling, so we plan the tear-out and haul-off with that in mind. If your job is covered, the plan goes in with the permit paperwork we handle.
We're based in Rancho Cucamonga and work across the cities around it. The ones listed here have their own pages, but they aren't the only places we go, so if your city isn't on the list, ask us.
We pick up evenings and weekends too, so call (909) 360-4010 or send a note through our form whenever you've got a minute to look at that wall.
If you've got a question about your brick, block or stone, ask it, and I'll explain what's going on before anyone talks price.
