Safety First: Repairing Loose Steps and Uneven Walkways
Loose steps and uneven walkways are more than just an eyesore. They are serious safety hazards that can lead to trips, falls, and injuries. When mortar joints deteriorate or pavers shift, your steps lose their structural integrity. What looks like a minor issue can quickly become dangerous, especially during wet weather or at night.
We have seen too many homeowners wait until someone gets hurt before calling us. The good news is that most step and walkway problems can be fixed before they become emergencies. Our team inspects every inch of your masonry to identify weak spots, loose bricks, and settling issues. We do not just patch the surface. We rebuild from the foundation up, ensuring your steps and walkways are stable and safe for years to come.
Modern building codes in Pomona require specific dimensions and materials for outdoor steps. We stay up to date with these regulations, so your repairs meet all safety standards. Whether you need brick and stone steps repair, walkway leveling, or complete reconstruction, we handle the project from start to finish. You will have peace of mind knowing your family and guests can walk safely on your property.
Signs Your Retaining Wall is Failing (And How We Fix It)
Retaining walls hold back tons of soil and water pressure every single day. When they start to fail, the damage can be catastrophic. Cracking, bulging, tilting, or separation from adjoining structures are all red flags that your wall is under stress. Water pooling behind the wall or soil erosion at the base means the drainage system has failed.
Many retaining wall failures happen because the original installation did not account for proper drainage or soil conditions. Water is the enemy of any retaining wall. Without adequate drainage, hydrostatic pressure builds up behind the wall, pushing it outward until it collapses. We have rebuilt countless walls that failed simply because they lacked proper weep holes, gravel backfill, or drainage pipes.
Our approach starts with a thorough assessment of your wall and the surrounding soil. We determine whether the wall can be repaired or if a complete rebuild is necessary. If rebuilding is required, we install proper drainage systems, use reinforced materials, and follow engineering standards to prevent future failures. Your retaining wall should protect your property, not threaten it. Let us make sure it does its job. Explore our retaining wall design and installation services for more details.
Expanding Your Living Space with Custom Stone Patios
Your backyard should be more than just grass and a fence. A custom stone patio transforms your outdoor space into a functional living area where you can relax, entertain, and enjoy the California weather. Stone patios offer durability and timeless beauty that wood decks simply cannot match. They require minimal maintenance, resist weather damage, and increase your home value.
We work with you to design a patio that fits your lifestyle and budget. Whether you want a cozy spot for morning coffee or a large space for hosting parties, we create layouts that maximize your yard's potential. Our team helps you choose the right materials, from natural flagstone and bluestone to manufactured pavers in various colors and textures. We explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision.
Proper installation is critical for a patio that lasts. We excavate to the correct depth, install a stable base, and ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling and frost damage. Every stone is carefully placed and leveled for a smooth, even surface. The result is a beautiful outdoor space that you will enjoy for decades.

Our Process
We believe in transparency and clear communication from start to finish. Here is what you can expect when you work with us. Our three-step process ensures quality results, on time and on budget, with no surprises along the way.
On-Site Consultation & Assessment
We start with a free, no-pressure consultation at your property. During this visit, we listen to your needs, inspect the work area, and assess any existing damage or structural issues. We take measurements, photographs, and notes to ensure we fully understand the scope of your project. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and share your vision. We provide honest feedback about what is realistic and what challenges we might encounter. Our goal is to give you all the information you need to make a confident decision. After the consultation, we prepare a detailed written estimate that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges. What we quote is what you pay.
Tuckpointing vs. Repointing: What is the Difference?
Many homeowners use the terms tuckpointing and repointing interchangeably, but they are not quite the same thing. Repointing is the process of removing old, damaged mortar from the joints between bricks or stones and replacing it with fresh mortar. This is a structural repair that restores the integrity of your masonry and prevents water infiltration. Repointing is essential maintenance that every brick structure eventually needs.
Tuckpointing, on the other hand, is a more specialized technique. After repointing, we apply a thin line of contrasting mortar in the center of each joint to create the illusion of very fine, precise joints. This decorative finish was historically used to make brickwork appear more refined and expensive. Today, tuckpointing is still used on historic buildings and upscale homes to maintain their original appearance. Both techniques require skill and experience to execute properly.
At PMN Pomona Masonry, we have the expertise to handle both repointing and tuckpointing. We match mortar colors to your existing brickwork and use the correct mix ratios to ensure durability. Whether you need basic structural repointing or decorative tuckpointing for a historic restoration project, we deliver craftsmanship that stands the test of time.

Chimney Leak Detection: Flashing, Crowns, and Flue Liners
A leaking chimney can cause serious damage to your home. Water infiltration leads to stained ceilings, mold growth, wood rot, and even structural damage. Many homeowners do not realize their chimney is leaking until the damage is already extensive. The problem is that chimneys have multiple potential leak points, and identifying the source requires expertise.
The chimney crown is the concrete cap at the top of your chimney. Cracks in the crown allow water to seep into the brickwork, where it freezes and thaws, causing further damage. Chimney flashing is the metal seal between the chimney and the roof. If the flashing is improperly installed or has deteriorated, water can run down the chimney into your attic. Flue liners protect the chimney structure from heat and combustion byproducts. A cracked liner not only leaks but also poses a fire hazard.
We perform thorough chimney inspections to identify all potential leak sources. Once we pinpoint the problem, we provide targeted repairs. Whether you need a new crown, reflashing, or a liner replacement, we use quality materials and proven techniques to stop the leak for good. Do not wait until water damage forces you to make expensive repairs. Contact us for a professional chimney inspection and keep your home safe and dry.

Modernizing Your Home Exterior with Stone Veneer Siding
Stone veneer siding offers the look of natural stone without the weight, cost, or complexity of a full stone installation. It is an ideal solution for homeowners who want to upgrade their curb appeal, add character to their exterior, or modernize an outdated facade. Stone veneer comes in a wide range of styles, colors, and textures, from rustic fieldstone to sleek contemporary designs.
The installation process is faster and more affordable than traditional stone masonry. We apply the veneer directly to your existing exterior wall, securing it with mortar and metal ties. The result looks just like real stone but costs a fraction of the price. Stone veneer is also low maintenance and highly durable. It resists fading, cracking, and weather damage, making it a smart long-term investment for your home.
We work with premium brands like Cultured Stone and Eldorado Stone to ensure you get the highest quality products. Our installation team follows manufacturer guidelines and industry best practices to ensure a flawless finish. Whether you want to cover your entire home or add stone accents around entryways, columns, or chimneys, we can bring your vision to life. Stone veneer siding is one of the most cost-effective ways to dramatically improve your home's appearance. Discover more about our stone veneer siding and installation services.
