"We had a section of our retaining wall that was leaning noticeably after the last heavy rain. The crew assessed it quickly, explained exactly what was happening, and finished the rebuild in two days - right on the timeline they gave us."
Marcus T., Downey - Retaining wall construction
"Our chimney mortar was crumbling badly - you could see it from the street. The tuckpointing job they did matched the original mortar color well enough that most people do not even notice the repair was made. Clean work."
Priya S., Lakewood - Tuckpointing
"I called about a foundation crack that had been making our front door stick for months. They pulled the permit, did the repair, passed the county inspection, and now the door works like new. Straightforward process from start to finish."
Daniel R., Norwalk - Foundation repair

(562) 586-9264Cerritos Concrete & Masonry is based in Cerritos, CA and serves homeowners across 12 cities in the greater Los Angeles area, including Lakewood, Norwalk, Downey, and Long Beach. We offer same-week scheduling on most jobs and respond to all inquiries within 1 business day.
Most foundation movement in the Los Angeles area is driven by expansive clay soils that swell when wet and shrink when dry. Whether it is serious depends on the rate of movement and what is causing it - a licensed contractor can tell you within a single visit.
Both perform well in Southern California's climate, but concrete block tends to be more cost-effective for structural walls, while brick offers more design flexibility and longevity for decorative applications. The right choice depends on the wall's purpose and your budget.
Patching mortar over old, failed joints only delays the problem. If mortar crumbles easily when scratched, shows gaps deeper than half an inch, or has let water behind the brickwork, full repointing is the right move - not a surface coat.
Mature trees planted in Cerritos neighborhoods during the 1960s and 1970s now have root systems large enough to lift driveways, crack walkways, and push up patio slabs. Removing the root intrusion and replacing the affected concrete is the only lasting fix.
Cosmetic repairs like repointing mortar joints typically do not require a permit. Structural work - foundation repair, retaining wall construction, chimney rebuilds - generally does, through Los Angeles County. The California Contractors State License Board provides guidance on what qualifies as structural work.
A cracked chimney crown or failing mortar joints let water in during each rainy season. That moisture works behind bricks and into the liner, turning a $500 repointing job into a $3,000 liner replacement or partial rebuild. Early repair is almost always the lower-cost choice.

Learn more about our companyHairline cracks from soil movement are usually repairable. If the slab has sunk, shifted significantly, or has wide cracks running through it, replacement often costs less long-term than repeated patching. A mason can tell you which camp your driveway falls into after a brief look.
Quality tuckpointing on a well-maintained wall lasts 20 to 30 years in Southern California's mild climate. The lifespan depends on the mortar mix, how fully the old mortar was removed, and whether the source of moisture was addressed at the same time.
Standard homeowners insurance in California typically does not cover earthquake damage - that requires a separate earthquake policy. After any notable tremor, it is worth inspecting your chimney, retaining walls, and brick features for new cracks, even if nothing looks obviously wrong.

Cerritos was largely built during the 1960s and 1970s, which means most of its homes are now 50 to 60 years old. The city was originally known as Dairy Valley before being incorporated as a planned residential community, and that rapid development era left thousands of homes with original concrete driveways, brick chimneys, and masonry features that have never been touched. According to Wikipedia, the city covers about 8.8 square miles and has a population of roughly 49,000 - a tight, owner-occupied community where homeowners take their properties seriously.
We work throughout Cerritos - from the neighborhoods near the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts to the quiet streets along the Artesia and Norwalk borders. The city is well known for landmarks like the Cerritos Auto Square along Studebaker Road and the striking Cerritos Public Library, which opened in 2002 and is recognized nationally for its architecture. Most lots in Cerritos are modest in size - typically 5,000 to 8,000 square feet - with mature trees planted during those original development years.
Those mature trees are now large enough to push up driveways, crack walkways, and lift patio slabs - one of the most common reasons homeowners in Cerritos call us. The city also sits on expansive clay soils that swell when it rains and shrink when it dries out, which puts steady stress on foundations, retaining walls, and any concrete flatwork. We understand these conditions well, because we work in Cerritos and its surrounding cities every week, and we tie our repair recommendations to what is actually happening on your property.
