Why Mountain View Properties Need Specialized Masonry Care

Here in Mountain View, your property faces unique challenges that require expert masonry attention. The combination of Bay Area moisture from the nearby bay and Shoreline marshlands creates conditions that accelerate mortar deterioration. Many homes near Showers Drive and around Moffett Field were built in the 1950s and 60s with original brick that now needs careful restoration to prevent water infiltration.

The tech boom has brought significant property investment to Mountain View, especially in the downtown area and near Castro Street. New owners of older properties often discover chimney issues, cracked foundations, or failing brick that previous owners neglected. Our professional masonry team specializes in bringing these vintage homes back to their original quality while ensuring modern safety standards.

Properties near Shoreline Amphitheatre and the newer developments along North Bayshore face different challenges. These homes often feature modern stone veneer or decorative masonry that requires proper maintenance to prevent expensive replacements. We understand the specific needs of both historic Craftsman homes in the Old Mountain View neighborhood and contemporary properties throughout the city.

Whether you're dealing with earthquake damage, water intrusion, or simple aging of your masonry, we provide thorough inspections and honest assessments. We'll explain exactly what work your property needs and help you prioritize repairs based on safety and budget. Your Mountain View home deserves quality brick repair services that protect your investment for decades to come.

Common Masonry Problems We Fix in Mountain View

Mountain View homeowners frequently call us about chimneys that are pulling away from the house. This is especially common in properties built before modern seismic standards were implemented. The 1989 earthquake affected many chimneys throughout the city, and some repairs from that era are now failing. We rebuild chimneys using proper reinforcement and earthquake-resistant techniques that meet current building codes.

Another frequent issue we see involves foundation cracks and settling, particularly in homes built on the clay soils common throughout Mountain View. Properties near El Camino Real and in the Martens-Carmelita neighborhood often experience foundation movement that creates step cracking in brick walls or gaps between masonry and wood framing. We handle these repairs with precision, ensuring your home's structural integrity is restored.

Homeowners upgrading their properties for resale often need stone veneer installation to modernize their home's appearance. Mountain View's competitive real estate market rewards well-maintained exteriors, and quality stonework can significantly increase your property value. We work efficiently to complete projects without disrupting your daily routine or your neighbors.

We also address drainage issues that affect masonry structures. The heavy winter rains that hit Mountain View can overwhelm inadequate drainage systems, leading to water damage in retaining walls, patios, and foundations. Our team evaluates the entire system to ensure water flows away from your masonry work, preventing future problems and extending the life of your repairs. We handle everything from small patio fixes to major foundation waterproofing projects throughout the city.

Our Process

Free On-Site Inspection

We start with a thorough inspection of your masonry work. Our experienced team examines every detail, looking for visible damage, structural issues, and potential problems that might not be obvious. We take photos and measurements to document the current condition. Then we sit down with you to explain what we found in plain English. You'll understand exactly what needs fixing and why it matters for your property's safety and value.

Masonry Work for Mountain View's Unique Climate

Mountain View sits in a microclimate that affects masonry differently than nearby cities. The proximity to San Francisco Bay and the wetlands near Shoreline means your property experiences more moisture and temperature fluctuations than homes just a few miles inland. This environment demands specific construction techniques and materials that can withstand these conditions without premature deterioration.

We select mortar mixes specifically formulated for Bay Area conditions. Standard mortar from a big box store won't hold up to the moisture cycles your property experiences throughout the year. The fog that rolls in from the bay during summer evenings and the heavy rains from November through March create expansion and contraction that weaker mortars can't handle. Our custom mixes ensure your repairs last 30 years or more.

Properties near the Google campus and throughout North Bayshore face additional challenges from the high water table in this area. Foundations and below-grade masonry work require proper waterproofing and drainage solutions that many contractors overlook. We install comprehensive moisture barriers and drainage systems that keep water away from your masonry structures, preventing the costly damage that comes from water infiltration.

When we handle chimney repair projects in Mountain View, we account for the seismic requirements specific to this region. Your chimney needs to be properly anchored and reinforced to withstand earthquake forces while still allowing the flexibility that prevents cracking during ground movement. This specialized knowledge ensures your masonry work is both beautiful and safe for your family.
