"The crew showed up on time and finished the foundation repair in two days, just like they said. We had been putting it off for years because we thought it would be a huge ordeal. It was not. The sticking doors finally close right, and we have not seen any new cracks since."
Mike T., Visalia - Foundation repair
"I noticed the chimney mortar crumbling last fall and called before the rain started. They came out within a couple of days, gave me a clear written estimate, and got the tuckpointing done before the first big storm. The chimney looks solid and I have not had any water issues since."
Sandra R., Hanford - Chimney repair

Water is the main cause of masonry damage - it enters through cracked mortar, damaged crowns, and open joints. White staining on brick faces is a reliable early warning sign. The sooner you address the entry point, the less damage you prevent.
Tulare sits on clay-heavy soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. That cycle repeats every year and slowly stresses concrete and masonry. The USDA Web Soil Survey documents these soil types across Tulare County and explains why the movement is predictable. USDA Web Soil Survey.
Yes. Temperatures above 100 degrees dry mortar too fast, causing it to crack before it fully cures. Tulare summers regularly hit those highs. Experienced masons schedule mortar work in the early morning and take steps to slow the drying rate in summer.
Foundation repair, structural chimney work, and retaining walls above certain heights all require permits in California. The California Contractors State License Board outlines which license types cover structural masonry and who is authorized to pull permits.
Diagonal cracks radiating from window and door corners often signal foundation or soil movement rather than surface cracking. They tend to widen over time if the underlying cause is not addressed. A mason should assess whether the crack is still active before making a permanent repair.
California requires masonry contractors to hold a valid license from the Contractors State License Board. You can look up any contractor by name or license number on the CSLB website in about 30 seconds - before signing anything. The Tulare Masonry & Concrete license number is available on request.

Most brick and block walls can be repaired rather than rebuilt if the damage is caught before it spreads. Targeted tuckpointing or brick replacement costs a fraction of full reconstruction. The Brick Industry Association recommends inspection every 5 to 10 years for older homes.
Open mortar joints let water into the wall cavity. In Tulare's winters, that moisture freezes at night and forces bricks apart from the inside. A small tuckpointing job left unattended can become a wall rebuild within a few seasons.
Masonry improvements - retaining walls, brick walkways, outdoor kitchens, stone veneer - consistently rank among the exterior upgrades with strong return on investment. The National Association of Realtors has documented that well-maintained masonry positively affects resale value.
The Brick Industry Association publishes detailed technical guidance on mortar selection, repointing methods, and brick maintenance - useful reading before any major project. When you are ready to move forward, call (559) 837-6698 and we will take it from there.
Tulare is a city of about 70,000 people in Tulare County, sitting in the middle of the San Joaquin Valley and surrounded by some of the most productive farmland in the country. The city takes its name from Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi and a landmark of the region's history. Today, most Tulare residents own single-family homes built between the 1950s and 1990s - ranch-style houses on flat lots with stucco exteriors and concrete driveways.
The local economy is rooted in agriculture. Tulare County is among the top agricultural counties in the United States, and the city is home to the World Ag Expo, held every February at the International Agri-Center - a landmark most Tulare residents know well. The flat valley terrain means lots have very little natural drainage slope, which causes water to pool near foundations and accelerates soil movement beneath slabs. The clay-heavy soils under most Tulare properties expand with winter rain and contract in the long, dry summers - a cycle that stresses masonry more than most homeowners realize.
Tulare Masonry & Concrete is based here in Tulare and has been working on local homes since 2015. We serve both older neighborhoods near downtown and the newer subdivisions on the north and east sides of town. If your home is one of the many built before 1990, the original mortar, foundation design, and concrete flatwork may all be due for attention. We are familiar with what Tulare homes need, and we are ready to take a look. Learn more about Tulare from the U.S. Census Bureau.
