Redlands is known for its beautiful historic homes, especially the Victorian and Craftsman properties around the downtown area and along streets like Olive Avenue and Cajon Street. Many of these homes feature original brick chimneys, foundations, and decorative details that are over 100 years old. When this brick starts to deteriorate, it needs skilled restoration work.
We specialize in historic brick restoration that preserves the character of your home while ensuring structural integrity. That means matching the original brick size, color, and texture, and using lime-based mortars that are appropriate for older masonry. Modern Portland cement mortars are too hard for old brick and can cause more damage over time.
Common issues we address include spalling bricks from freeze-thaw cycles, crumbling mortar joints, and water damage around chimneys and foundations. We carefully remove damaged sections, source matching materials, and rebuild with traditional techniques. The result is a restoration that looks like it's always been there. Contact us to discuss your historic home project.
While Redlands has deep historic roots, plenty of newer homes and developments have gone up in areas like South Redlands and the foothills. These properties often feature contemporary designs that call for clean-lined stone veneers, modern outdoor living spaces, and custom masonry details that complement the architecture.
We build custom stone features including outdoor kitchens, fire pits, water features, and accent walls using natural stone like travertine, limestone, and granite. The key is selecting materials that fit your home's style and the Redlands climate. Some stones hold up better than others in our hot, dry summers and occasional winter moisture.
For hillside properties, we also design and install retaining walls that handle elevation changes while creating usable outdoor space. Whether you want a natural stacked stone look or a more formal cut stone appearance, we'll work with you to design something that fits your vision and budget. Quality materials and proper installation make all the difference in longevity.
Here's what to expect when you work with us. We keep things simple, clear, and professional from start to finish.
Call us or fill out the form to schedule a site visit. We'll come to your property, assess the work, and discuss your goals. Whether it's a repair, new construction, or a complete outdoor renovation, we'll answer your questions and provide a detailed written estimate. No pressure, no hidden fees. You'll know exactly what the project involves and what it costs before we start.
Chimneys are a big part of Redlands architecture, from the tall brick stacks on historic homes to modern stone chimneys on newer builds. Even if you rarely use your fireplace, your chimney needs regular maintenance to stay in good shape. Weather, temperature swings, and time all take their toll on masonry chimneys.
We provide complete chimney repair and rebuilding services including crown repairs, flashing replacement, brick replacement, and complete rebuilds when needed. A damaged chimney crown lets water seep into the brickwork, which leads to spalling, cracks, and interior leaks. We rebuild crowns with proper slope and sealing to keep water out.
For chimneys that have deteriorated significantly, sometimes a partial or full rebuild is the most cost-effective solution. We remove damaged sections, reinforce the structure, and rebuild using materials that match your home. Whether it's a tall Victorian chimney or a low ranch-style stack, we have the experience to do it right. Your chimney should be safe and solid for decades to come.
Redlands has great weather most of the year, which makes outdoor living spaces incredibly popular. We build custom patios, outdoor kitchens, fire features, and seating areas that let you enjoy your backyard from spring through fall. Whether you want a simple paver patio or an elaborate outdoor kitchen with pizza oven and bar seating, we design and build spaces that fit your lifestyle.
Materials matter in our climate. Pavers are a top choice because they stay cooler underfoot than concrete and come in endless colors and patterns. Natural stone like flagstone and travertine also work beautifully for patios and walkways. We install proper base preparation and joint sand to prevent settling and weed growth. The result is a patio that looks great and stays level for years.
Fire features are another popular addition. A custom stone fireplace or built-in fire pit creates a focal point and extends your outdoor season into the cooler months. We build wood-burning and gas fire features in styles ranging from rustic to contemporary. Pair that with built-in seating walls, landscape lighting, and a well-designed layout, and you have an outdoor space you'll use constantly.
