P&J Rancho Cucamonga Concrete & Masonry is a masonry contractor based in Rancho Cucamonga, CA, and we work across Ontario, repointing worn brick, rebuilding tired chimneys and building block walls for fenced and sloped yards.
Ontario sits just south of Rancho Cucamonga, so it's close work for us. The houses here run from older homes in the middle of the city, many with brick chimneys, brick planters and block walls that have stood for decades, to newer tracts on the south side with stucco fronts, stone veneer and long runs of block wall between lots. A lot of what we see here looks like the calls we get next door in Upland and Chino.
That spread shapes the job. On older houses the work is usually matching mortar and brick that someone laid long ago, and on newer lots it's more often adding walls, pavers and outdoor kitchens to a yard that came bare.
When the short block wall your house sits on has cracked or a corner has dropped, we find the cause first, then rebuild or reinforce it.
Explore serviceChimneys usually wear out at the top first. We rebuild the crown that caps it and reset the loose brick below before water gets further in.
Explore serviceYou want old brick to look crisp again. We fill worn joints in a color matched to the brick, then run a thin contrasting line along each.
Explore serviceCracked bricks or ones with faces flaking off don't mean a new wall. We cut out the bad ones and set matching replacements that blend in.
Explore serviceWe dig out the old slab, compact a gravel base and lay interlocking pavers, because the base under them decides whether the driveway stays flat.
Explore serviceWhere your yard changes level, we build a block wall sized to the soil it holds, with drainage behind it to relieve water pressure.
Explore serviceFor a brick front, porch or old wall that's tired all over, we clean it, fix the worst spots and refill the joints so it holds together again.
Explore serviceA new fireplace starts with where the fire burns, how the smoke leaves and how far it sits from wood, so we plan all three before laying brick.
Explore serviceThin stone over stucco or block is only as good as what's behind it, so we put up a water barrier, metal mesh and a base coat first.
Explore serviceLots of yards here are fenced with block. We build new walls on a poured footing with steel and grout in the hollow cores, then cap them.
Explore serviceAdding a room or a raised floor? We lay the block foundation wall it sits on, level and square, with steel set where the plans call for it.
Explore serviceYou want a grill island that lasts outside. We build the base in block, plan openings for gas and power, and finish it in stone, brick or stucco.
Explore serviceWe lay walks in brick, pavers or flagstone on a compacted base, sloped a little so water runs off instead of pooling at your door.
Explore serviceFor a garden or front-yard wall in brick, we pour the footing, lay the brick in a pattern you pick and tool the joints tight.
Explore serviceNatural stone takes more fitting than brick or block, so we sort and shape each piece by hand for walls, steps and columns that sit solid.
Explore serviceWhen mortar joints turn sandy or sink back, we rake them out and refill with mortar softer than the brick, so the joints wear instead of the brick.
Explore servicePermits in Ontario come from the city's Building Department, which reviews the plans and then inspects the work, so a job that needs one waits on that review before our crew starts. Before you hire anyone, you can check two things about the contractor: a current California contractor license, and an Ontario business license, which the city requires before a business starts working there.
Before we start, we check what the city asks for on your kind of job, and when a permit is needed, we handle the application and line up the inspections. The price usually moves with how much wall or brick there is, how deep the footing goes, how easy it is to get material into your yard and what we find once old mortar or block is opened up. The schedule mostly turns on the permit review and on getting the right block or a brick that matches, the same as on the jobs we do over in Fontana. The estimate is where you get the number for your own job.
Tell us about the wall, chimney or brick you're looking at, and we'll reply within one business day to set a time. I come out to look at it myself and give you the estimate on site, free and with no pressure or obligation. If you go ahead, I run the job with our crew, and an experienced mason leads the brick and stone work.
(909) 360-4010Usually yes, because California requires a state contractor license for any job that needs a building permit, uses hired workers, or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials together. We're licensed and insured, and I'm happy to answer questions about it before you sign anything.
Only if the job needs no building permit, uses no hired workers and all of its costs come to less than $1,000, according to the state licensing board. A bigger job can't be broken into smaller contracts to get under that line. If you're not sure where your repair falls, we'll tell you plainly once we've looked at it.
Yes, as long as they hold an Ontario business license, since the city uses one application for businesses inside and outside its limits, contractors included. Contractors based outside the city also give the job's location and value when they apply. We're based in Rancho Cucamonga and work across Ontario.
Besides Ontario, we work across the cities around Rancho Cucamonga, including Upland, Fontana, Chino and more. If your city isn't on the list, ask us.
Our phones are open seven days a week and into the evening, so call (909) 360-4010 or send the form whenever you've got a minute.
If you've got a question about the brick, block or stone at your Ontario house, ask, and I'll walk you through it.
