"The crew showed up when they said they would and finished the foundation repair in two days, which is exactly what they quoted. My door frames are square again and the floors feel solid. I was bracing for a bigger mess, but they kept the yard clean the whole time."
David M., Rialto - Foundation repair
"We had two sections of chimney mortar that were completely crumbled out. They matched the color close enough that you have to get up close to see the difference. The crown seal they put on should stop the water damage we kept getting in the living room ceiling."
Carmen R., San Bernardino - Chimney repair
"Had them tuckpoint the block fence along the back of the property. The old mortar was soft and sandy - you could push your finger into it. They cut it all out and repointed the whole stretch in a day and a half. Clean work, no mess left behind."
James T., Fontana - Tuckpointing

Six questions we hear from homeowners before they call - with straight answers.
Rialto sits on clay-heavy soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement is the single biggest driver of foundation and mortar problems in the Inland Empire - more so than age or construction quality. The California Geological Survey (conservation.ca.gov) publishes soil maps that show exactly what is under your neighborhood.
Yes. Inland Empire summers cause mortar to dry out and crack faster than in cooler, more humid regions. Mortar that would last 30 years in San Diego may need attention in 15 to 20 years in Rialto. Scheduling repairs in the cooler months - October through April - gives mortar the best chance to cure fully.
They can. The Inland Empire sits near the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems. Minor tremors - too small to feel - can gradually open hairline cracks in mortar joints. This is one reason Rialto homeowners often notice masonry problems appearing faster than expected on homes that seem otherwise well-maintained.
If the mortar is failing but the bricks are structurally sound, tuckpointing is almost always the right call - it is cheaper and, done correctly, lasts just as long. Full replacement is warranted when the bricks themselves are spalled, cracked through, or no longer holding their shape. A mason who recommends full replacement without pointing out intact brick is worth getting a second opinion on.
Structural work - foundation repair, chimney rebuilds, retaining walls over 4 feet - typically requires a permit from the City of Rialto Building and Safety Division. Cosmetic repairs like standard tuckpointing usually do not. The city's building department (rialto.ca.gov) can confirm requirements for your specific job. A licensed contractor will handle the application for you.
Both can work, but they age differently here. Poured concrete driveways are more susceptible to cracking from clay soil movement and heat. Pavers flex slightly with ground movement and are easier to repair section by section. The right choice depends on your soil conditions and how much maintenance you want to do in five to ten years.
Rialto Concrete and Masonry is a licensed and insured masonry contractor based in Rialto, CA, serving 12 communities across the Inland Empire since 2020. We are licensed through the California Contractors State License Board - the state agency that regulates contractor qualifications and enforces California's contractor laws.
We offer 16 masonry services, from foundation repair and chimney work to outdoor kitchens and stone veneer. Every project comes with a free on-site estimate and a written warranty on labor and materials.
Learn more about our team and backgroundFix it now. Small cracks in mortar or concrete are inexpensive - a few hundred dollars at most. Wait until water has been working through that crack for a season or two, and you are looking at a much larger repair. There is no upside to watching a masonry crack.
Possibly. Rialto's clay soil swells during wet weather and can push on a slab unevenly. If multiple doors or windows are sticking and it started after a wet season, have a mason look at the foundation perimeter - it is a common pattern here.
No. Paint does not bond well to failing mortar, and it traps moisture behind the wall rather than letting it evaporate. The result is usually worse damage within a year. The only real fix is removing the old mortar and repointing with fresh material.
The Brick Industry Association publishes technical guidelines on mortar maintenance that are worth reading if you want to understand what a quality repair should look like. If you have already seen something on your property that concerns you, call us directly or request a free estimate.
Rialto is a city of about 103,000 people in San Bernardino County, sitting between Fontana and San Bernardino about 55 miles east of Los Angeles. Most of the city was built out between the 1950s and 1990s - which means most homes here are between 30 and 70 years old, old enough that concrete slabs, brick chimneys, and exterior mortar are commonly at or past their expected lifespan. The city is served by Interstate 10 and State Route 210, and residents often commute west toward Los Angeles or work locally in logistics and warehousing.
Rialto sits on flat valley floor terrain at roughly 1,200 feet in elevation, with wide residential blocks and grid streets typical of postwar Inland Empire development. The Rialto Unified School District serves over 24,000 students, reflecting how family-heavy the neighborhoods here are. Many homeowners in the city are managing properties that are 40 to 60 years old - homes that need real maintenance attention, not just cosmetic work. The concrete slab foundations standard in this area are susceptible to movement from expansive clay soils, and the combination of 100-degree summers and occasional seismic activity from nearby fault systems puts consistent stress on masonry over time.
Rialto Concrete and Masonry works throughout Rialto - from neighborhoods near Rialto City Hall to the newer subdivisions up near the 210 Freeway corridor. Whether you are in an older postwar neighborhood or a newer development, we know the homes here, the permit process at the City of Rialto Building and Safety Division, and the soil conditions that drive most of the masonry problems we see. Call us to talk through what you are seeing on your property.
