Masonry contractor in Indio, CA for brick, block and stone
Premier Indio Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor in Indio, CA. Our 16 services cover repairs to brick, block, stone and chimneys as well as new walls, fireplaces, walkways and paver driveways, so repairs blend in with what you have and new work is built on a sound base. The price usually turns on how much needs fixing or building, the material you choose, how easy the spot is to reach and whether a permit is needed. The schedule turns on the size of the job, any permit and the weather. I'll give you your own figure in a free estimate on site.
Foundation repair
Seeing cracks along a block or concrete foundation? We look for the cause first, then repair the masonry, so you're fixing the problem and not just the crack.
Chimney repair
We rebuild loose brick, worn joints and cracked crowns, the concrete cap on top, so your chimney sheds water and the repair blends with the old brick.
Tuckpointing
What is tuckpointing? We rake out worn mortar joints and refill them with mortar matched in color and strength, for brick that's crumbling at the joints.
Brick repair
Cracked, loose or flaking bricks get cut out and replaced with brick and mortar that match yours, so the repair sits into the wall instead of standing out.
Driveway pavers
We build paver driveways on a packed gravel base with edging that holds the pattern, in a color and shape picked to suit your house.
Retaining wall construction
We build retaining walls for sloped yards and raised beds, with a proper footing and drainage behind them, because trapped water is usually what pushes a wall over.
Masonry restoration
Is older brick or stone showing its age? We clean, repoint and replace what's failed and leave sound original work alone, so your house keeps its look.
Fireplace installation
Our crew builds masonry fireplaces indoors and out, in brick or stone, with the firebox and surround planned around how you'll use the room or patio.
Stone veneer installation
Stone veneer is a thin face of real or cast stone. We set it on house fronts, columns and fireplace surrounds over the backing and drainage it needs.
Concrete block walls
Need a property line or privacy wall? We build concrete block walls on a poured footing, with steel and grout where the height calls for it.
Foundation block wall installation
For an addition, garage or new structure, we lay the foundation block wall that sits on the footing and carries the building, level and reinforced to the plans.
Outdoor kitchen masonry
Outdoor kitchens start with masonry, so we build the block frame, counter base and stone or brick facing, with room laid out for your grill, sink and storage.
Walkway construction
Walkways from the driveway to your door or out to the yard go in pavers, brick, stone or concrete, on a packed base that keeps them even underfoot.
Brick wall installation
What goes into a new brick wall? A solid footing, brick and mortar picked to suit your house, and joints pressed smooth so they shed water.
Stone masonry
Natural stone walls, columns, planters and steps are laid by hand, with each stone fitted so the joints stay tight and the weight sits evenly.
Brick pointing
Brick pointing fills and finishes mortar joints that have small gaps or have worn shallow, so water can't work its way behind the brick.
Why homeowners choose us for masonry work
Thank you for considering us. These are the things I'd want to know about a mason before letting one work on my own house, and here is how we handle each of them.
You deal with the owner throughout
I come out to look at your job and write the estimate myself, and before we finish I go over the work with you, so the person who quoted it is the one who checks it.
Mortar matched to your brick
We match new mortar to the old in color and strength, because mortar that's harder than the brick can crack the brick around it, and a close match is what lets a repair blend in.
Estimates that say what can wait
Our estimates separate what needs fixing now from what can wait, so you can plan ahead and don't pay for work you don't need yet. I'd rather tell you a wall is fine than sell you a new one.
Mortar work planned around the heat
On hot days we plan the work and look after fresh mortar so it sets properly instead of drying out too fast. When you're ready to talk, call (760) 262-2338 or use our contact form.
Our process from first call to cleanup
Here's how a job runs with us, from your first call to the cleanup, so you know who you'll be talking to and what comes next at each step.
Call or send the form
Call (760) 262-2338 or fill out the form with a few lines about what you're seeing or what you'd like built, and where the house is. We reply within one business day to set up a time for me to come out and see it in person.
I visit and write the estimate
I come out myself, look at the work and ask a few questions about what you've noticed and what you want. Then I give you a free estimate on site that says what needs doing now and what can wait. There's no obligation, and if a permit is needed, I'll tell you then.
Our crew does the work
When you're ready and any permit is in hand, our own crew does the job. We set up around your house and driveway so you can still get in and out, and if something turns up once a wall is open, I'll talk it over with you before we go further.
We go over it and clean up
When the work is done, I go over it with you, looking at the joints, the lines and the finish, and answer any questions you have. Then we clean up before we leave, so what's left behind is the finished work. Thank you for having us.

Masonry questions from Indio homeowners
How much does masonry work cost in Indio, CA?
It depends on what's being repaired or built, so I give you a price after I've seen the job at a free estimate on site. On a repair, the price mostly follows how much mortar or brick has to come out and how hard the match is. On new work, it follows the wall's length and height, the footing under it and the brick, block or stone you choose.
Is it cheaper to repair a brick wall or replace it?
Repair is usually cheaper when the bricks are sound and only the mortar or a few bricks have failed. If the wall is leaning or the footing under it has moved, patching it tends to cost you twice, so I'll tell you at the estimate which one makes sense and why.
How long does a masonry project take?
It depends on the size of the job, whether a permit has to come first and the weather, so I'll give you an idea of the schedule when I write your estimate. Mortar and concrete also need time to set before a wall carries weight or a driveway is driven on, and we build that into the plan.
Does a masonry contractor need a license in Indio, CA?
Yes, for most jobs, because California's state contractor board requires a current license for work that needs a building permit, uses employee labor, or totals $1,000 or more in labor and materials. A larger job can't be split into smaller amounts to get under that figure, and the City of Indio also requires a business license of anyone doing business in the city. We're licensed and insured.
What should I have ready for a masonry estimate?
Nothing special, though it helps to know when you first noticed the problem and what you'd like the finished work to look like. If you have photos of the wall when it was newer, or plans from a past project, set them out, and I'll ask about the rest while I'm there.
Do you guarantee your masonry work?
Yes, our promise is satisfaction guaranteed on every job. Going over the finished work with you is part of that, so please point out anything you're not happy with while we're standing there together.
Should I get pavers or poured concrete for my driveway?
If you want repairs to be simple later, I'd choose pavers, because a cracked or stained paver can be lifted and replaced on its own. Poured concrete usually costs less up front, but a crack in a slab stays part of the slab, and we're glad to build either one.
Do I need a permit to build a wall in Indio?
Most walls need a building permit from the city's Building & Safety Division before work starts, though the city's FAQ lists low fences and walls as work that needs none. Even a low retaining wall needs one if it holds back a slope or an added load. If yours needs a permit, I'll tell you at the estimate, and we work it out with the city and pull it ourselves.
