Masonry contractor services for homes in Tracy, CA
Quality Tracy Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Tracy, CA, with 16 services that cover brick, stone, block and concrete work. We fix what's worn, cracked or leaning, from crumbling mortar joints to tired chimneys, and we build new walls, patios, paths and outdoor kitchens on a solid base. The price turns on the size of the job, the material you pick, how much old work has to come out and what the footing or base needs underneath. The schedule mostly turns on whether the job needs a permit and inspections. Your written estimate gives you your own figure in plain words.
Foundation repair
Cracks in the slab or a door that suddenly sticks? We find out why the foundation moved, then repair it so the house sits steady again.
Chimney repair
We fix chimneys that drop mortar or leak, from the crown, the concrete cap on top, down to cracked bricks and worn joints.
Tuckpointing
What is tuckpointing? It's raking out old, crumbling mortar and packing in new joints, often finished with a thin contrasting line, so the wall sheds water again.
Brick repair
Flaking, cracked or loose bricks get cut out and replaced with bricks matched for size and color, so the patch blends into the rest of the wall.
Driveway pavers
We lay paver driveways on a packed, graded base, with edge restraints that hold the pavers in line under the weight of your cars.
Retaining wall construction
We build block and stone retaining walls on a solid footing, with a way for water to drain out from behind, for yards that need soil held back.
Masonry restoration
Older brick and stone that's stained, worn down or patched over the years gets cleaned, repointed and repaired with mortar suited to the original material.
Fireplace installation
We build fireplaces in brick or stone, from the firebox and hearth to the finished face, for homeowners adding one indoors or out on the patio.
Stone veneer installation
What's stone veneer? It's thin real or manufactured stone set over an existing wall, with a backing that lets water drain, for a stone look without solid stone.
Concrete block walls
We build concrete block walls for property lines, side yards and garden beds, with reinforcing steel and grout in the cells where the wall needs the strength.
Foundation block wall installation
We lay block foundation walls for additions, garages and raised floors, set on a poured footing sized to carry the weight above it.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build the masonry for an outdoor kitchen, from block counters and grill islands to brick or stone facing, for backyards set up for cooking out.
Walkway construction
We build walkways in pavers, brick, stone or concrete, on a base packed and sloped so rain runs off instead of sitting on the path.
Brick wall installation
Looking for a brick garden wall, a low front wall or a planter? We build them on solid footings, laid in the brick pattern you pick.
Stone masonry
Stone masonry means walls, steps, columns and facings built from natural stone, each piece fitted and set in mortar, for homeowners who want work that looks hand-built.
Brick pointing
When mortar joints turn sandy or open up, we rake them out and fill them with fresh mortar matched to the old color and strength, which keeps water out.
Meet the Tracy masonry crew behind the work
Quality Tracy Concrete and Masonry is a masonry business based in Tracy, CA, which I started in 2017 after years as another owner's right hand, running jobs and answering homeowners' questions. We're fully licensed and insured, and our crew of masons works across the 12 cities listed on this site and others nearby. I care most about the parts nobody sees, like the footing, the base and the way water gets out, because they decide how long the work lasts. There's more about us and the way we work if you'd like to know who'll be at your house.
About usWhy homeowners hire our masonry crew
The person who quotes it runs it
I look at every job myself, and I run our crew of masons once the work starts. What we talked over at the estimate carries straight into the work, with nothing lost in a handoff.
We find what's causing the damage
Before we patch a crack or repoint a wall, we look for what's letting water in or making things move, like a downspout emptying at the wall. Fixing that first means the repair you see isn't fighting the same problem.
Ask as many questions as you like
We answer your questions at the estimate and all through the job, the second and third ones included. You'll know what we're doing on your house and why, so you can speak up early if something doesn't sit right.
Plain-word estimates you can compare
Your estimate is written out in plain words, with the work and the materials spelled out instead of one lump sum. That way you can set it next to other bids and compare them point by point.
If you've got a wall, chimney or path you'd like looked at, send us a note or call (209) 237-1005.

We look at it together
I come out to your house myself and look at the job with you, including the footing, the drainage and whatever else is behind the problem. I'll answer every question you've got, then write up a free estimate in plain words. There's no obligation to go ahead.
Our crew does the work
Once you say go, we take care of any permit the job needs, applying with the city and setting up the inspections. If you'd rather pull it yourself as the owner, we'll tell you what we need from you. Then our crew of masons does the work, with me running it.
We walk the finished job
When the work's done, I walk the finished job with you, so you can see it up close and ask anything that's on your mind. We clean up before we leave, and you'll know what to keep an eye on as the new masonry settles in.

Masonry questions from Tracy homeowners
How much does masonry repair cost in Tracy, CA?
It depends on how much damage there is and what caused it, since a lasting repair fixes the cause along with the cracked brick or mortar you can see. Resetting a few loose bricks is a small job, while a leaning wall with a failed footing may have to come down to the base. I'll give you a written figure once I've seen it in person.
What makes a new retaining wall or patio cost more?
Size, height and material move the price most, and natural stone usually costs more to buy and set than block or pavers. Digging out, hauling soil and packing a proper base add cost you won't see when it's done, but they're what keep the work level and solid. Tight access for equipment can add to it too.
How long does a masonry project take in Tracy?
It mostly depends on the size of the job and whether it needs a permit, because a permit adds plan review and inspections with the city. A repair that needs no new footing usually moves faster than a wall built from the ground up. I'll go over what your schedule turns on when I come out.
Does a masonry contractor need a license in California?
In most cases yes, since the California Contractors State License Board requires a license when a job needs a building permit, uses other workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials. The board also says a bigger project can't be broken into smaller contracts to get under that amount. We're fully licensed and insured.
Do I need a permit for masonry work in Tracy?
It depends on the job, and the City of Tracy's Building Safety Division, which issues building permits every working day, is the place to ask whether yours needs one. You can reach the division at (209) 831-6400. If your job needs a permit, we take care of it as part of the work.
Do you guarantee your masonry work in Tracy?
Yes, our promise is your satisfaction, guaranteed. If something about the work concerns you, tell me, because I'm the person who looked at the job and ran it.
Can you match the old brick and mortar on my house?
Usually, yes, though how close the match gets depends on what's still made and how much the old brick has weathered. We match size, color and texture as closely as we can and mix mortar to suit the old brick, since mortar harder than the brick can crack it over time. I'll show you samples before we start.
Does Tracy's soil affect a new block wall or footing?
It can, because the city's building rules point to corrosive soils in and around Tracy, and that kind of soil can eat at steel and concrete sitting in it. That's one reason I pay so much attention to the footing and to keeping reinforcing steel well covered in concrete or grout.
