Small Masonry Projects & Expert Repair in Santa Cruz, CA

Licensed masonry craftsmanship for the jobs most contractors turn down. D’Arpino Masonry has served Santa Cruz County for over three decades, handling small brick, block, and stone work with the same care a full build deserves.

Specializing in Small Masonry Projects

Not every project needs a crew and a six-week schedule. If you have a garden wall, a set of steps, a mailbox pillar, a patio section, a barbecue surround, or a fireplace hearth that needs doing right, that is exactly the work we take on.

We work in brick, block, natural and cultured stone, pavers, glass block, and dry stack wall systems. Bring us a photograph, a sketch on a napkin, or a plain description of what you have in mind — we will tell you what it takes and what it costs.

• Garden and retaining walls
• Steps, stoops, and entryways
• Patios, walkways, and stepping stones
• Pillars, columns, and mailbox surrounds
• Outdoor barbecues and fire features
• Stone and brick veneer accents

Expert Masonry Repair & Restoration

Older masonry fails in specific ways, and fixing it well means matching what is already there. We repair cracked and spalling brick, replace damaged stone, and repoint deteriorating mortar joints using mortar matched to the original in color, texture, and strength — so the repair disappears into the wall instead of announcing itself.

Restoration work on Santa Cruz homes often means dealing with settling, water intrusion, or decades-old repairs done with the wrong materials. We diagnose the cause before we touch the surface, because a patch over an unresolved problem is money spent twice.

• Brick and stone repair and replacement
• Mortar joint repointing and tuckpointing
• Chimney and fireplace repair
• Retaining wall stabilization and rebuilds
• Cracked or settling step and walkway repair
• Fireplace and structural inspection with written report
