Learn MoreTell us what you are seeing - a crack, a failing wall, a chimney that looks rough. We ask a few basic questions about your property so we arrive prepared. You will hear back from our office within 1 business day to set up a visit.
We come to your property, walk the problem area with you, and explain in plain terms what is happening and why. You get a written estimate that covers the full scope, materials, and timeline. No obligation to move forward.
Once you approve the scope, we handle permits if required, schedule your project, and show up when we say we will. We clean up daily and walk you through the finished work before we leave. Your written warranty documentation comes with the job.
We carry a current CSLB contractor license and general liability coverage on every project. You can verify our license number before we start - we will give it to you without being asked.
We come to your property, assess the work, and give you a written estimate at no charge. There is no pressure to book and no fee if you decide to wait or get other quotes.
We live and work in the High Desert. We know how the Mojave heat, freeze-thaw winters, and sandy desert winds affect masonry here - and we choose materials built to handle all of it.
Every job comes with written warranty documentation. If something is not right after we leave, we come back and fix it. That warranty also protects you if you refinance or sell your home.

"Our foundation had been cracking for two years and I kept putting off the call. These guys came out, showed me exactly where the soil movement was happening, and had everything stabilized in two days. The inspector signed off without any issues. Wish I had called sooner."
Robert M., Apple Valley - Foundation Repair
"The mortar on our chimney was falling apart. They came out the same week, matched the brick color perfectly, and finished in one day. You honestly cannot tell where the old mortar ends and the new starts. Clean work, no mess left behind."
Sandra K., Victorville - Chimney Repair
"We had them build a retaining wall along the back of our property. It came in on the quoted price, finished on day three as promised, and the crew cleaned up every day. The wall looks solid and professional. No complaints at all."
James T., Hesperia - Retaining Wall Construction

(442) 220-8629Apple Valley Masonry & Concrete serves homeowners throughout the High Desert and Inland Empire. From our base in Apple Valley, we regularly work in Victorville, Hesperia, Barstow, and all 12 communities listed below. Most jobs can be scheduled within the same week.
Hairline cracks that stay the same size year after year are usually cosmetic. The warning signs that matter are cracks wider than a pencil line, cracks growing noticeably over one season, or doors and windows that suddenly start sticking - these point to active foundation movement. In Apple Valley, the desert soil expands and contracts more dramatically than in most California climates, so movement that looks minor on the surface can reflect real structural stress below.
Apple Valley sits at nearly 3,000 feet and swings from 100-plus-degree summers to below-freezing winter nights. That combination - extreme heat drying mortar out and freeze-thaw cycles cracking it open - shortens the typical 25 to 30 year mortar lifespan considerably. Homeowners here often need tuckpointing on walls that are only 15 to 20 years old. The UC Cooperative Extension documents how High Desert soil conditions accelerate wear on building materials.
Yes - the Mojave's sand-carrying windstorms gradually wear down mortar joints and pit the face of softer bricks. Walls on the west and southwest sides of a home tend to show the most damage because that is where the strongest winds arrive. If one side of your home looks noticeably more worn than the others, wind-driven abrasion is likely part of the reason - not just age.
Tuckpointing refreshes the mortar joints between bricks without touching the bricks themselves - it is the right solution when the bricks are in good shape but the mortar has crumbled or shrunk. Full brick replacement is needed when the bricks themselves are cracked, spalling, or structurally compromised. Catching failing mortar early and tuckpointing it costs a fraction of what full replacement runs.
Structural work - foundation repairs, retaining walls over a certain height, new block wall construction - generally requires a permit from the Town of Apple Valley Building and Safety Division. Routine repairs like repointing or replacing a few damaged bricks usually do not. A permitted repair is documented on record, which protects you at resale and ensures an inspector confirms the work was done correctly.
Mortar hardness has to be matched to the bricks it joins. If the mortar is harder than the brick - a common shortcut - thermal stress has nowhere to go and cracks the bricks instead. A knowledgeable contractor will ask about your home's age, examine the existing brickwork, and select a mortar type that flexes slightly with temperature swings rather than fighting them. The Brick Industry Association publishes specifications for mortar selection by application and climate.

Fix them now. In Apple Valley's desert climate, a small crack in mortar or concrete can double in width over a single winter as water gets in, freezes, and expands. The cost of a minor repair today is almost always a fraction of what a larger repair costs after one more season of neglect. The International Association of Certified Home Inspectors notes that early intervention on foundation and masonry issues consistently reduces total repair cost.
Spring and fall are ideal - temperatures are moderate, mortar cures properly, and you are not racing against summer heat or winter frost. If you have damage heading into summer, it is still worth fixing - a good contractor works in the cooler morning hours and takes steps to protect fresh mortar. Do not let a crack sit through another season waiting for perfect weather.
Homes built in Apple Valley during the 1970s through 1990s are now at the age where mortar joints commonly reach the end of their natural lifespan. Even if the brickwork looks fine from across the street, a close inspection often reveals joints that are pulling away from the brick edges - which means water is getting in. A quick walkthrough with a mason will tell you whether it is time to act or just time to monitor.

Apple Valley is a town in San Bernardino County's Victor Valley, home to roughly 75,000 to 80,000 residents and part of the larger Mojave Desert region that includes Victorville, Hesperia, and Adelanto. The town sits at nearly 3,000 feet in elevation, which means homeowners here deal with a climate that coastal California contractors rarely encounter - triple-digit summer heat and below-freezing winter nights in the same year. That combination puts real stress on concrete slabs, brick walls, and masonry of every kind.
Most homes in Apple Valley were built between the 1970s and early 2000s, a period when slab-on-grade construction was standard throughout the High Desert. Those slabs sit on expansive clay-heavy desert soil that swells when it absorbs moisture and shrinks through the long dry summer - a constant movement cycle that no concrete slab is designed to handle indefinitely. Add Apple Valley's wind-driven sand and the freeze-thaw cycles that come with the town's elevation, and it is easy to understand why so many local homes need masonry attention every few years. The U.S. Census confirms that Apple Valley is predominantly owner-occupied, which means homeowners here are typically invested in maintaining their properties for the long term.
We have been working on homes across Apple Valley for years - from the neighborhoods near Apple Valley Airport on the east side of town to the older streets closer to Highway 18 near the Roy Rogers legacy sites. We know the soil conditions, the permit requirements through the Town of Apple Valley Building and Safety Division, and the specific material choices that hold up in this desert environment. That local knowledge is what makes the difference between a repair that lasts one hot summer and one that is still solid ten years later.
