Masonry contractor in Jurupa Valley, CA - walls and repairs built for dry heat
Fieldstone Ontario Concrete and Masonry is a masonry contractor working in Jurupa Valley, CA. We repair and repoint brick, build block walls and retaining walls, and lay pavers and walkways that suit the house and the lot.
Masonry work around Jurupa Valley homes
We're a masonry contractor based in Ontario, CA, right next door, and I got to know Jurupa Valley doing upkeep on rentals all over this area before I started this business. A lot of houses here sit on bigger lots than you'll find in much of the area, so the work runs to long block fences, retaining walls on sloping yards, and driveways and walkways that have taken years of sun. Older single-story homes share the city with newer tracts, much like you'll see in Fontana and Eastvale, and on the older places the brick and mortar is often worth saving instead of tearing out.
What moves the price is mostly how much work there is, what it's built from and how far back on the lot it sits, and the schedule usually turns on whether the city needs to sign off first. When I walk your job, I take photos and write up what I'd do and why, so you get your own number. And on a sloped yard, how the ground behind a wall drains matters as much as the block itself.
What we build and fix in Jurupa Valley
Cracks in older slabs and foundation walls here often come from soil that dried and shifted, so I find the cause before we patch anything.
Older brick chimneys here take years of sun and the occasional shake. We rebuild cracked caps and failing joints, and leave sound brick right where it is.
Dry heat bakes the mortar on Jurupa Valley brick until it turns sandy, so we grind out only the failed joints and refill them to match.
Got a cracked or flaking brick on the steps of an older house? We cut out just the damaged ones and set in bricks that match the rest.
Pavers suit the long driveways on bigger lots here, because when one spot settles we can lift and reset that section instead of breaking out a slab.
Sloped backyards near the hills need walls built for the dirt behind them. We dig proper footings and step the wall to fit your lot.
On the older ranch-style houses here, we clean, repair and repoint brick and stone, keeping every piece of original work that's still sound.
An outdoor fireplace makes a big patio usable on cool evenings, and we build fireboxes and surrounds, inside or out, that suit the house.
Stone veneer, a thin layer of stone, dresses up the plain stucco fronts on newer tracts here, and we prep the wall so water stays out.
Block fences on big lots here take years of sun and sprinkler water. I'll tell you whether yours needs a few repairs or a full rebuild.
Plenty of lots here have room for a detached garage or workshop, and we lay the block foundation walls it sits on, level and true.
We build the block base, counters and stone or brick facing for outdoor kitchens, with materials picked for long, hot summers out in the sun.
On deeper lots, the walk from the driveway to your door can run long, so we build brick, paver or concrete paths that drain and sit flat.
Across a wide front yard, a brick wall or pillared entry has to match the house, so I'll help pick brick and mortar that fit.
We lay natural stone for planters, steps, seat walls and borders in the roomy yards here, setting each stone so it carries its share of the weight.
Brick pointing means touching up worn mortar joints before they open up. On a lot of the older brick here, that small job is often all it needs.
What Jurupa Valley yards ask of masonry
I started this business in 2023 to do masonry carefully instead of fast, and that's what you can count on here, from the first look to cleanup.
I see every job
I come out to see your job, and I'm on site with our crew while the work gets done.
Sound brick stays put
If old brick or mortar is still sound, we leave it alone and fix only what's actually failing.
Walls planned for the slope
On sloped yards we plan drainage behind the wall, since trapped water is what usually pushes a wall over.
A site kept tidy
Years of working around tenants taught me to keep the site clean, because people live in your house.

Jurupa Valley masonry questions, answered
How do I get a permit for a block wall or retaining wall in Jurupa Valley?
You apply to the city's Building & Safety Department, which issues permits for new structures and for remodeling or tearing down existing ones and coordinates the review with the city's other departments. If the work changes the grade of your land, which can happen when we cut into a slope, the city also requires a grading permit, and work out on public land in the street right-of-way needs an encroachment permit. When your job needs city sign off, we take care of the permit and set up the inspections, and for a wall near a property line we check with the city early so there are no surprises.
Does a masonry contractor need a California state license to work in Jurupa Valley?
Yes, the state licensing board requires a license whenever the job needs a building permit, uses any additional workers, or comes to $1,000 or more in labor and materials across its contracts. Contractors also have to be licensed before they bid on the work. We're licensed and insured.
Which building code applies to my permit in Jurupa Valley?
If your permit application goes in on or after January 1, 2026, it follows the 2025 California Building Standards Code, and applications the city received on or before December 31, 2025, stay under the 2022 code. So a permit applied for now falls under the 2025 code, and that's what we build to.
How much does masonry work cost in Jurupa Valley?
The price comes down to how much wall, brick or paving there is, what it's made of, how easy it is to reach, and whether the job needs a permit or grading first. Here, long fence runs on big lots, footings and drainage on sloped yards, and matching older brick are what usually push a price up, while repairing sound work instead of replacing it brings it down. Your estimate gives you the number for your own job.
Does a contractor based outside Jurupa Valley need to register with the city?
They may, yes. The city doesn't issue business licenses, but anyone doing business in Jurupa Valley has to get a City of Jurupa Valley Business Registration Certificate, and businesses outside city limits may need one too when they work in the city. It's a fair thing to ask any contractor before you hire them.
What is the best way to keep new mortar and concrete from drying out too fast in Jurupa Valley?
Do the work in the cooler part of the day and keep fresh mortar and concrete damp while they set, because heat and dry air pull the water out before they've gained their strength. The weather in western Riverside County is semi-arid, and it dries out common building materials to an extreme, so we plan for it. In summer we start early, mist fresh joints and cover new work so it dries slowly.
