About our Lake Elsinore masonry company
Our story started on a summer masonry crew
I spent my summers all through school on a masonry crew, mixing mortar and hauling block long before anyone let me lay a course. In 2013 I started E&M Lake Elsinore Concrete & Masonry here in Lake Elsinore. Most of our calls are still about something cracking or crumbling, like a block wall starting to lean, a chimney dropping mortar or a step pulling away from the house.
Those calls are the part of this work I like best, because the crack you see is usually a symptom and the interesting part is finding what's behind it. I'll ask questions before I give you answers, and if we can't know until the wall is opened up, I'll say so. I'd rather fix the one thing that's actually failing than sell you a bigger job than you need.

What you can expect from our masonry crew
Every job, big or small, gets the same approach from us. We figure out the problem before we price the fix, and we explain it plainly so you can decide what to do.
We find the cause before the fix
Before we quote a repair, we work out why the masonry failed, whether that's water getting in, a footing that's moved or the wrong mortar from an earlier patch. That way you're paying to fix the cause, not just to cover the crack you can see.
The owner comes out and explains it
I come to your house myself, ask what you've noticed and walk you through what's going on in plain words. The quote covers the work you actually need, and if something can wait, I'll tell you.
Repairs that fit the old work
We match new mortar and materials to what's already on your house, because a patch that's harder or a different color than the original can fight the old brick and stand out from the street. A lead mason runs the crew on site, and I check the finished work with you.
Licenses and permits for work in Lake Elsinore
California contractor license
The California Contractors State License Board licenses anyone who builds or alters a structure in the state, and a licensed contractor is needed when the job requires a building permit, uses extra workers or costs $1,000 or more in labor and materials combined. We're fully licensed and insured, so the work on your house is covered either way.
City business license and permits
The city expects contractors working inside its limits to hold a current business license, and its building official issues the permit for work that builds, alters, repairs or demolishes a structure, with the work left open until the inspector approves it. We find out which office covers your address, whether that's the city or the county, take care of the permit paperwork when the job needs it and plan the work around inspections.
