Living and building in Hesperia
Hesperia is a High Desert city where a lot of life happens outside. Neighbors gather at Civic Plaza Park, just west of City Hall and the library, for Movies in the Park, Concerts in the Park and the yearly Christmas tree lighting. Hesperia Lake Park draws people for camping and catfish fishing, and Lime Street Park has ball fields, a pool and a skate plaza.
Building here means working within the city's rules. The county fire district has expanded the parts of Hesperia mapped as very high fire hazard zones, and new construction in those zones has to meet wildfire building standards, which matters if you're adding on. We're based in Hesperia, and most of our calls come from neighbors here who want a block wall built, brick fixed and a straight answer about what it takes.
Tell us about the wall or brick job you have in mind
After you send this, we reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out, look at the job, measure and take photos. Then you get a free written estimate with the scope spelled out, and there's no obligation to go ahead.

Masonry contractor services in Hesperia, CA
D&L Hesperia Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Hesperia offering 16 services, from new block walls to repointing old brick. Price turns on size, materials, the footing and digging a job needs and any damage we find once it's open, while the schedule turns on permits and inspections. Your free estimate spells out the scope for your job.
Foundation repair
When a slab or stem wall has cracked or settled, we find what's moving underneath and repair the masonry so the house sits on solid support again.
Chimney repair
We rebuild loose brick, cracked crowns and worn mortar on chimneys for homeowners who've noticed flaking brick, a leak near the chimney or mortar grit on the roof.
Tuckpointing
If the mortar between your bricks is crumbling, we grind out the worn joints and tuckpoint them, packing in new mortar shaped and colored to match.
Brick repair
We cut out cracked, loose or broken bricks and set matching replacements in steps, planters, walls and house fronts that have taken a hit or started to shift.
Driveway pavers
We lay paver driveways on a compacted base for homeowners who want a driveway that carries cars and can be fixed one paver at a time.
Retaining wall construction
We build block and stone retaining walls with drainage behind them, for yards that need a slope held back or a flat spot cut into a grade.
Masonry restoration
Brick and stone that's stained, cracked or badly patched gets cleaned, repaired and repointed, so the wall looks right and holds together the way it was built.
Fireplace installation
We build brick and stone fireplaces, inside the house or out on the patio, for homeowners adding a hearth to a new room or replacing a tired one.
Stone veneer installation
We install stone veneer, a thin facing of real or cast stone, over house fronts, columns and fireplaces, for the look of solid stone without its weight.
Concrete block walls
We build concrete block walls on a poured footing with steel set in the hollow cores, for property lines, privacy and yards where a wood fence keeps falling down.
Foundation block wall installation
For additions, garages and crawl spaces, we lay block foundation walls on a proper footing so the structure above has a level, solid base to sit on.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
We build the block, brick and stone shell of an outdoor kitchen, with counters, a grill surround and storage, for backyards set up for cooking and company.
Walkway construction
We build brick, stone and paver walkways on a packed base, for front paths and side yards where you've been walking on dirt or broken concrete.
Brick wall installation
We lay new brick walls, from low garden and planter walls to full-height screen walls, set on a footing and tied together so they're built to stay straight.
Stone masonry
We set natural stone for walls, steps, columns and planters, cutting and fitting each piece, for homeowners who want real stone instead of block or veneer.
Brick pointing
When joints are cracked or gaps show between bricks in just a few spots, we point them with fresh mortar, a smaller repair than tuckpointing a whole wall.

How a job goes with us
Call or send a request
Call (760) 983-7937 or send a request and tell us what you're dealing with, whether it's a leaning wall, crumbling mortar or a new wall you want built. We reply within one business day to set a time for me to come out.
I look at it and write it up
I come out myself to look at the job, measure and take photos. I'll tell you plainly what I'd do and what I wouldn't, and why. Then you get a free written estimate with the scope spelled out, including the footing and joint work you won't see later.
Permits first, then the build
Before we start, we check with the city or county building office that covers your address. When a permit is needed, we apply for it as your licensed contractor. Then our crew builds the job, and I'm on site with them while the work gets done.
Walk the finished job
When the work is done, we walk the finished job with you so you can see it up close and ask about anything that doesn't look right. You're talking to the same person who looked at it the first day, so nothing gets lost along the way.
Your masonry questions answered
How much does a block wall cost in Hesperia?
The cost depends on the wall's length and height, the footing under it, the block and cap you choose and how much digging the site takes. A permit and inspections, if the wall needs them, add time and fees. I price each wall after seeing it, and the estimate is free.
Why are masonry bids in Hesperia so different from each other?
Most of the gap is in work you can't see, like how deep and wide the footing is, how much steel goes in and how far old mortar gets ground out before repointing. Doing that part right can cost a bit more up front, and it's what keeps a wall standing. Our estimates list it, so you can compare bids line by line.
How long does a masonry project take in Hesperia?
It depends mostly on the size of the job and whether it needs a permit, because permitted work waits on plan approval and an inspection at each step. On site, the city allows construction from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Saturday, with no work on Sundays or federal holidays. I'll walk you through the timing for your job when I come out.
Does a masonry contractor in California need a license?
Yes, for nearly any real masonry job, because the state only lets an unlicensed person take on minor work under $1,000 that needs no permit, with no one working for them on it. That limit used to be $500 before the state licensing board raised it. We're licensed and insured.
What does tuckpointing a brick house involve?
We grind the worn mortar out of the joints down to solid material, clean out the dust and pack in new mortar matched to the old color and hardness. Matching the hardness matters, because mortar that's harder than the brick can crack the brick faces over time. Repointing brick the right way is one of the jobs we're best known for.
Do you guarantee your masonry work?
Yes, our work is satisfaction guaranteed. What stands behind that is the part you can't see, a proper footing under a wall and full, well-packed mortar joints, because I'd rather do it right once than come back to patch the same spot.
Is a block wall better than a wood fence in Hesperia?
For most Hesperia yards, yes, because the city rates termite exposure here as very heavy and block gives termites nothing to eat. A block wall costs more than wood up front, but it won't rot, and you're not replacing boards and posts down the road.
Do I need a permit for a block wall in Hesperia?
If the wall stands more than 3 feet above the ground around it, yes, because block walls over that height are on the permit list for the City of Hesperia's Building & Safety Division. The permit has to be issued before work starts, and only you, your licensed contractor or an authorized agent can get it. We sort that out with the city before we start.
