Serving Jurupa Valley, CA and surrounding areas. (951) 474-5722
Jurupa Valley Masonry and Concrete serves Rialto, CA with brick repair, retaining walls, driveway pavers, and concrete masonry work. We have been working throughout the Inland Empire since 2018, with free written estimates and same-week scheduling for most jobs.
Most Rialto homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s, and the brick planters, garden walls, and chimney faces from that era are showing their age in ways that range from cosmetic spalling to deeper mortar deterioration. Our brick repair work matches existing materials so repairs hold up through more years of Inland Empire heat without standing out against the original construction.
Rialto lots are mostly flat, but clay soil expansion puts steady lateral pressure on any retaining structure over time. Walls built in the 1970s or 1980s without adequate drainage behind them are often the first to lean and crack. We build new retaining walls with proper drainage and footing depth for the soil conditions found throughout Rialto.
Concrete driveways on Rialto homes built in the 1970s and 1980s have been expanding and contracting with the clay soil for decades. Many are cracked, uneven, or stained beyond repair. Paver installations give homeowners a surface that moves with the ground rather than breaking through it, and the individual units can be replaced if one section settles in the future.
Block privacy walls are on virtually every single-family lot in Rialto, and walls from the 1970s and 1980s often have crumbling mortar joints, missing cap blocks, and footings that have shifted with the soil. We replace aging block walls to current code with proper rebar and grout fill for structural integrity that lasts.
Concrete slab foundations are standard on Rialto homes, and the clay soils beneath them shift enough over the years to produce cracking and uneven floors in older properties. Small cracks caught early are a much more manageable repair than the structural damage that follows if movement continues unchecked.
Tree roots and clay soil movement crack front walkways throughout Rialto neighborhoods, creating tripping hazards that get worse with every wet season. Replacing heaved concrete with properly bedded pavers or new concrete with control joints gives you a level, safe surface that handles the ground movement common on Rialto lots.
Most of Rialto's housing stock was built between the 1950s and 1990s on a flat valley floor underlain by clay-heavy soils. At that age range, original concrete driveways, block fences, and brick surfaces have been through 30 to 70 seasonal cycles of expansion and contraction. The Inland Empire's summer heat - regularly above 100 degrees Fahrenheit - dries out mortar faster than in coastal climates, and the UV exposure here bleaches and cracks exterior masonry on homes that have never been properly sealed.
Rialto also sees Santa Ana wind events every fall and winter, and while the city sits below most of the high wildfire risk zones, the 60-plus mph gusts that move through the area knock loose mortar off chimney caps and dislodge aging cap blocks from block walls. Concrete slab foundations - the standard construction here - are susceptible to movement from the same clay soil dynamics, particularly on homes where landscape irrigation has been saturating the soil near the foundation perimeter for years. Understanding these conditions from working here regularly is the difference between a patch that holds and one that fails again in two seasons.
Our crew works throughout Rialto regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect masonry contractor work here. When a project requires a permit, we work with the City of Rialto Building and Safety Division directly, and we know what their inspectors look for on standard masonry work. That familiarity keeps projects on schedule instead of getting held up by documentation the city requires.
Rialto runs along the I-10 corridor between Fontana and San Bernardino, and the city covers a mix of older neighborhoods near downtown - where homes from the 1950s and 1960s have original concrete flatwork and aging brick - and newer subdivisions up near the State Route 210 corridor, where homes from the 1990s and 2000s are starting to need their first major masonry attention. Schools like Eisenhower High School sit in the middle of established residential neighborhoods that represent the core of the city's owner-occupied housing, and we work in these areas regularly.
Our team also serves Colton just to the south, where the housing stock and soil conditions are very similar to what we see throughout Rialto. If you have a neighbor in Colton who has used us, the same crew likely handled that job.

(951) 474-5722Rialto was incorporated in 1911 and sits in the western San Bernardino Valley, bordered by Fontana to the west and San Bernardino to the east. The city covers about 22 square miles of mostly flat terrain and had a population of roughly 103,000 as of the 2020 Census. Most of its residential neighborhoods were developed during the postwar decades, with a large number of homes built in the 1960s through 1980s on the grid street pattern typical of Inland Empire cities that grew quickly on open land. The northern sections, closer to State Route 210, saw additional development through the 1990s and 2000s and have a mix of single-family homes in master-planned communities with tile roofs and larger footprints.
The city is primarily residential and family-oriented, with the Rialto Unified School District serving over 24,000 students across more than 30 schools. About 55 percent of homes are owner-occupied, creating steady demand for maintenance and improvement work on properties that families plan to stay in for the long term. Our crews are familiar with the older neighborhoods near downtown as well as the newer streets off the 210, and we regularly serve nearby Fontana to the west, where similar housing stock and soil profiles make for the same kinds of masonry repair needs.
