Placentia Concrete & Masonry has served Placentia homeowners with brick repair, tuckpointing, and retaining wall work since 2015, with same-area crews who know the local housing stock and respond within one business day.
Placentia homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often have brick chimneys, block retaining walls, and decorative masonry that is now 40 to 60 years old. Our masonry restoration work addresses crumbling mortar, stair-step cracks, and spalling brick before a repair-sized problem becomes a replacement-sized one.
Most Placentia ranch homes have brick or block chimneys where the original mortar joints have softened after decades of wet winters and dry summers. Repointing those joints stops water from working its way behind the masonry and causing damage that goes deeper than the surface.
Placentia lots that slope from front to back - common on properties near the Yorba Linda border and on streets with grade changes - often rely on block or brick retaining walls to hold soil. We build and repair walls that handle the seasonal ground movement common in this part of Orange County.
Cracked or broken bricks on chimneys, planters, and garden walls are a common call in Placentia. Stucco-and-brick homes from the tract-building era often need isolated brick replacements matched to the original color and size to keep the structure sound.
Concrete driveways on Placentia homes built in the 1960s and 1970s are frequently cracked and uneven from decades of soil movement. Paver driveways flex with the ground rather than cracking through, making them a practical long-term choice for properties on clay-heavy soils.
Placentia homeowners adding a fireplace or replacing an aging gas insert often want a built masonry firebox that fits the scale of a single-story ranch home. We design and build fireplaces sized right for the rooms they serve, with materials that complement the existing home.
Placentia is a mid-sized Orange County city where most of the housing stock was built during the postwar suburban boom of the 1960s and 1970s. The typical property is a single-family ranch home with a stucco exterior, concrete driveway, and brick or block chimney - all materials that perform well in Southern California's climate but have finite lifespans. At 40 to 60 years old, the original mortar, concrete flatwork, and masonry details on these homes are frequently past their useful life, even when the visible damage seems minor from the street. Placentia's home values - consistently above $700,000 according to recent census data - give homeowners a strong financial reason to address maintenance before small problems become structural ones.
The local climate adds ongoing stress to masonry structures. Orange County's rainy season delivers most of its annual precipitation in a handful of heavy storms between November and March, and that moisture is absorbed by aging mortar and brick throughout the winter. By summer, the long dry stretch draws that moisture back out and the cycle begins again. Parts of Placentia also sit on expansive clay soils that shift with this wet-dry cycle, adding lateral stress to retaining walls, foundation perimeters, and ground-level block walls. A masonry contractor who understands these conditions can match repair materials and methods to the specific stresses Placentia homes face year after year.
Our crew works throughout Placentia regularly, and the home types here are familiar to us. The single-story ranch homes that dominate neighborhoods throughout the city typically have the same brick chimneys, concrete patios, and block planters built during the original construction - which means we see the same aging patterns on property after property. Pulling permits through the City of Placentia Community Development Department for structural work is part of our standard process on jobs that require them.
Placentia is bordered by Yorba Linda, Anaheim, Fullerton, and Brea - all cities with similar housing stock and climate conditions. Major corridors like Yorba Linda Boulevard and Orangethorpe Avenue cross through residential neighborhoods where the original masonry details from the tract-building era are still in place. From the streets near the Alta Vista Country Club to the neighborhoods along Bradford Avenue, the properties we work on here share a recognizable character.
We also serve nearby Fullerton and Anaheim - both of which border Placentia and have similar masonry needs rooted in the same mid-century building era.
Call or submit the form on this page and we will get back to you within one business day. You do not need to have a detailed description of the problem ready - knowing which part of the house is affected and roughly when you noticed it is enough for us to plan the visit.
We come to the property, look at the affected masonry in person, and explain what we see. You will receive a written estimate that itemizes the scope of work before anything is agreed to - no surprise charges after the job starts.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the job and give you a start date. Most focused repair jobs are completed in one to two days. We let you know if you need to be home during the work - for most exterior masonry jobs, you do not.
When the work is done, we walk the job with you so you can see what was done and ask any questions. Fresh mortar needs 24 to 48 hours to cure, and we will let you know if there is anything to keep in mind during that window - like keeping irrigation away from the repaired area.
We serve Placentia homeowners with free estimates, written quotes before any work begins, and a crew that knows the local housing stock. Call us or fill out the form and we will be in touch within one business day.
(657) 226-2890Placentia is a mid-sized residential city in northern Orange County with about 52,000 residents and a homeownership rate of roughly 60 percent. The city incorporated in 1926 and grew rapidly during the postwar decades, leaving a housing stock that is overwhelmingly single-family ranch homes on modest suburban lots. Most of these homes were built between 1960 and 1985, giving the community a consistent character - quiet tree-lined streets, attached garages, stucco exteriors, and yards that have matured over several generations of ownership. Median home values above $700,000 reflect how desirable Northern Orange County has remained, and long-term homeowners here tend to be invested in keeping their properties well-maintained. Familiar landmarks include the George Key Ranch Historic District and the Alta Vista Country Club, which has anchored the community since 1924.
Placentia sits at the intersection of several other Orange County communities. It shares borders with Anaheim to the west and south, Fullerton to the northwest, Yorba Linda to the east, and Brea to the north. The Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District serves families across the area, and the city has a stable, long-term residential population with relatively low turnover. Nearby Yorba Linda and Brea have similar housing types and climate conditions, and we serve homeowners across all three communities.
