Linda R., Hemet - Foundation repair
Our chimney had been leaking for two winters and we kept putting it off. Hemet Masonry matched the mortar color exactly and the repair looks like it was always there. Took them about a day and a half total.
James T., San Jacinto - Chimney repair
The tuckpointing on our retaining wall was overdue by at least ten years. They got it done in two days, showed me photos of the before and after, and gave me a written summary of what they did. Solid work at a fair price.

Mortar wears out before brick does - it is designed to. If the brick itself is solid, repointing the joints is the right call. Only replace brick when it is visibly spalling or cracked through.
Clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry. In the San Jacinto Valley, that seasonal movement stresses foundations and block walls every year. Using the right materials and anchoring deep into stable soil makes the difference.
Small cracks let water in. Water expands when it freezes on cold Hemet nights. Over seasons, that cycle widens the crack and spreads damage to adjacent bricks, framing, or the foundation itself.
Both work well in this climate. Block walls are faster to build and easier to repair section by section. Poured concrete is stronger against lateral pressure, making it preferred for taller retaining walls.
Yes. The San Jacinto Fault produces frequent small tremors. Even minor shaking loosens mortar joints over time. A post-earthquake inspection is a smart habit for any home with brick, block, or a masonry chimney.
Many of Hemet's planned communities require pre-approval for exterior repairs and have mortar color standards. Check your HOA guidelines before scheduling work - we can help you navigate the approval process.
The Brick Industry Association maintains free technical resources for homeowners on mortar types, repair standards, and what to look for when hiring a masonry contractor.

Learn more about usIn Hemet's dry climate, deteriorating mortar often looks intact from a distance. Run your finger along the joints - if it crumbles or feels sandy, it needs attention even if it looks okay from the sidewalk.
Hemet summers regularly hit 105 degrees or higher. Mortar can dry too fast in extreme heat and crack before it cures. Experienced local masons schedule summer work for early mornings and shade walls during curing.
In most cases, targeted repair beats full replacement. If the brick is still structurally sound, repointing the joints and filling cracks is the right move. Full replacement is only warranted when the underlying structure has failed.
The National Park Service Preservation Briefs on repointing masonry cover mortar selection, joint preparation, and what distinguishes a lasting repair from one that fails in a few seasons. Have questions about your specific project? Call us or send a message and we will give you a straight answer.
Hemet is a city of about 90,000 people in Riverside County, situated in the San Jacinto Valley at roughly 1,600 feet of elevation. The city has long been known as a retirement destination in Southern California, and a large share of its housing stock dates from the 1960s through 1990s - homes that are now 30 to 60 years old and in the range where masonry maintenance becomes a regular part of ownership. You can learn more about the community at the Hemet Wikipedia overview or review population and housing data at the U.S. Census QuickFacts page for Hemet.
Hemet is home to well-known landmarks the whole valley recognizes. The Ramona Outdoor Play has been running every spring since 1923 in a natural amphitheater in the hills above the city - one of the longest-running outdoor dramas in the United States. Just south of town, Diamond Valley Lake is the largest lake in Southern California and a landmark nearly every Hemet resident knows. Hemet Valley Mall has been the main retail hub for the San Jacinto Valley for decades. Most homes in the area are single-story ranch-style houses on slab foundations - a construction type that holds up well in this climate but is susceptible to cracking when the clay soil shifts with the seasons.
Hemet's climate - summers regularly above 100 degrees, occasional winter freezes below 32 degrees, and only 12 to 14 inches of rain per year - creates predictable masonry maintenance needs. Heat dries out mortar and soil. Freeze-thaw cycles in winter widen hairline cracks. Winter storms push water through any gap in aging brick or block. Hemet Masonry knows these conditions firsthand because we live and work here - and we build and repair masonry with this climate in mind on every job.
