PMN Pomona Masonry has served Pomona homeowners with masonry restoration, brick repair, and retaining wall construction since 2017. We work out of Pomona, respond within one business day, and we know the older housing stock here better than most.
Pomona has a large share of homes built between the 1940s and 1960s, and many of them have original brick, block, or stone that has been weathering for 60 to 80 years. Our masonry restoration service rebuilds damaged sections, repoints deteriorated joints, and matches materials to existing work so the repair does not stand out.
Pomona's summer heat causes brick to expand and contract repeatedly, which works the mortar joints loose over time. Spalled or cracked bricks on older homes in neighborhoods like Lincoln Park are a common sight - and if they are not replaced early, water gets behind the wall and accelerates the damage.
Many Pomona properties have sloped lots where soil moves during wet winters and dry summers. A properly built retaining wall with drainage channels that soil movement and prevents erosion that can undermine patios, fences, and foundations over time.
Pomona's clay-heavy soils shift as they absorb winter rain and then dry out through summer. Older foundations in the city, especially homes from the 1950s and 1960s, are particularly vulnerable to the cracking and settling that follows repeated soil movement cycles.
Mortar joints on Pomona brick homes degrade faster than the bricks themselves, especially on homes that face south or west where sun exposure is strongest. Tuckpointing removes the deteriorated mortar and replaces it with fresh material, restoring the wall's strength and weather resistance.
Santa Ana winds hit Pomona hard every fall, and older brick chimneys take the brunt of it. Loose mortar, cracked caps, and damaged flashing are the most common issues we find after wind season, and all of them should be addressed before the fireplace gets used again.
A significant share of Pomona's housing was built before 1970, and much of it was constructed with materials and methods that have been holding up - or slowly failing - for 50 to 80 years. The combination of age and Southern California's harsh climate creates a specific set of masonry problems that are common here. Summers regularly hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit or above, UV exposure is intense for most of the year, and the soil beneath these older homes expands in wet winters and shrinks back in the summer heat. That cycle does not stop, and it puts steady pressure on foundations, retaining walls, and brick structures year after year.
The Lincoln Park neighborhood is a clear example of what this means for homeowners. Many homes there date from the late 1800s and early 1900s, and they require material matching and careful workmanship that generic contractors are not set up to handle. The Fairplex area, the blocks near Cal Poly Pomona, and the older residential streets closer to downtown all have their own housing character. A masonry contractor who works in Pomona regularly understands what materials are typical in each part of the city, what common failure patterns look like, and how to fix them without creating new problems. That local knowledge makes a real difference in how long a repair holds up.
PMN Pomona Masonry has been based in Pomona since 2017, pulling permits through the City of Pomona Building and Safety Division and working on homes throughout the city. We know the streets near the Fairplex, the older neighborhoods around Lincoln Park, and the blocks closer to Cal Poly on the east side. Most of our Pomona jobs involve homes with stucco exteriors and original brick accents from the mid-20th century - a combination that requires matching older materials with care.
Pomona sits at the intersection of the San Gabriel Valley and the Inland Empire, bordered by the 10, 60, and 71 freeways. Neighboring cities like Montclair and Ontario share similar soil conditions and housing ages, and we serve homeowners across all of them regularly. If you own a home on a quiet street near downtown or out by the university, our crew has almost certainly worked on a house like yours.
Contact us by phone or through the form on this page. We reply within one business day and can usually schedule an on-site visit within the same week.
We visit the property, assess the full scope of the damage or project, and give you a written estimate before any work begins. There is no charge for the estimate, and no pressure to commit.
For jobs that require a permit through the Pomona Building and Safety Division, we handle the permit process. We schedule the work at a time that works for your household and let you know in advance what to expect each day.
When the work is done, we clean up the job site and walk through the completed work with you before we leave. If anything does not meet your expectations, we address it before calling the job finished.
Free estimates, no pressure. We serve all of Pomona and reply within one business day. Call us or fill out the form and we will reach out to schedule a visit.
Pomona is a city of roughly 150,000 people in the eastern San Gabriel Valley, covering about 23 square miles at the border of Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties. The city has a distinct mix of housing types and eras. The Lincoln Park neighborhood near the city center contains some of the most intact historic residential architecture in the Inland Valley, with Victorian, Craftsman, and Colonial Revival homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Moving outward from downtown, the housing stock transitions to the ranch-style bungalows and modest single-family homes of the postwar boom years.
The city is anchored by major institutions including California State Polytechnic University, Pomona on its eastern edge and the Fairplex, home of the Los Angeles County Fair, in the northwest. The 10, 60, and 71 freeways run through or immediately adjacent to the city, connecting it to the broader region. Pomona is bordered by cities including Ontario to the east and Montclair to the south, and we serve homeowners throughout all these neighboring communities.
