"We had diagonal cracks above two window frames and a floor that felt off in the back bedroom. The crew came out, explained exactly what was going on with the foundation, and finished the repair in two days. Three months later, the doors close the way they used to."
Marcus T., Chino Hills - Foundation repair
"The chimney mortar was crumbling on three sides and smoke was backing up into the living room. They replaced the crown, repointed the joints, and put on a new cap. Straightforward job, done in a day, and they cleaned up everything before they left."
Sandra R., Ontario - Chimney repair
"We had a retaining wall that was leaning noticeably after the wet winter. They rebuilt it with proper drainage behind it so we would not have the same problem in two years. The new wall is level and looks better than the original."

Six topics that come up repeatedly when Inland Empire homeowners start asking the right questions.
Mortar is softer than brick by design - it absorbs stress so the bricks themselves do not crack. Most mortar lasts 25 to 30 years, but Chino's intense summer heat and Santa Ana winds shorten that window. Once mortar starts crumbling, water gets behind the wall and accelerates damage quickly.
Clay soil is harder on foundations by a wide margin. Chino sits on clay-heavy soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry - a cycle that repeats every year. That movement puts constant stress on slabs, block walls, and mortar joints. The California Geological Survey documents expansive soil hazards across the Inland Empire.
Yes. Santa Ana winds push hot, dry, abrasive grit into already-weakened mortar joints, widening cracks and accelerating erosion. After a major wind event, it is worth walking your exterior walls and chimney to check for mortar dust at the base and any new gaps in the joints.
Spring and fall are ideal. Chino summers regularly top 100 degrees, and extreme heat causes fresh mortar to dry too fast on the surface while staying soft underneath - weakening the joint. Fall and spring give mortar time to cure properly without rain or extreme heat.
Quite possibly. Many 1980s-era Chino homes were built on post-tension concrete slabs, which handle expansive soil well until a cable is damaged or the slab shifts significantly. These slabs are now 35 to 45 years old and need contractors who understand how they are built before drilling or cutting anything.
It does. The Chino Hills fault zone runs through the area, and even minor tremors can gradually loosen mortar joints or cause small foundation shifts that compound over time. If your home was built before 2008 and has never had a masonry inspection, it is worth scheduling one - especially if you have noticed diagonal cracks near window corners.
Precision Chino Masonry is a licensed and insured masonry contractor company based in Chino, CA, serving homeowners across 12 cities in the Inland Empire and surrounding communities since 2016.
We hold an active contractor license issued by the California Contractors State License Board and carry full liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. You can verify our license status on the CSLB website at any time.
Since 2016, we have completed masonry projects across 12 communities - from minor mortar repairs and chimney work to full retaining walls, foundation stabilization, and custom outdoor kitchens. We offer 16 services and know the local soil conditions, housing stock, and permit requirements that shape every job in this area.
Vertical cracks in mortar joints are usually caused by settling and are rarely urgent. Diagonal cracks - especially ones that step in a staircase pattern through the joints - indicate soil movement and deserve a professional look. Horizontal cracks in a block wall can signal pressure from the soil behind it and should not be ignored.
A visual walk-around every spring is a good habit for any homeowner with brick, block, or stone on their property. Pay attention to chimney mortar, garden wall joints, and any masonry near the foundation. If your home is more than 20 years old and the masonry has never been professionally inspected, scheduling one is worth the time.
Small surface patches are possible as a temporary measure, but DIY mortar work rarely matches the depth, density, or color of a professional tuckpointing job. Using the wrong mortar mix - particularly one that is too hard for the surrounding brick - can actually accelerate damage by forcing stress into the bricks themselves rather than the sacrificial mortar joint.

Chino is a city of roughly 90,000 people in San Bernardino County, situated in the western Inland Empire about 35 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. The city grew rapidly from the 1980s onward as housing developments replaced the dairy farms that once dominated the Chino Valley. The majority of Chino homes were built between 1980 and 2005, which means much of the city's housing stock is now at the age where original masonry, roofing, and exterior materials are due for attention.
Two of the area's better-known landmarks are Cable Airport - a general aviation field that has been operating since the 1940s and is home to the Planes of Fame Air Museum - and The Preserve, one of Chino's largest master-planned communities in the southern part of the city. We have worked on homes throughout Chino, from the older neighborhoods near downtown to the newer tracts near the airport and in The Preserve, where homes built in the 2000s are hitting the 20-year mark and starting to show their first real maintenance needs. Most of Chino's residential lots include concrete driveways, block wall fencing, and patios, which are three of the most common masonry repair categories we handle here.
The clay-heavy soil throughout the Chino area expands and contracts with the seasonal wet-dry cycle, which is the primary driver of cracked driveways, leaning retaining walls, and foundation movement in this part of the Inland Empire. That local condition shapes how we approach every project - from the mortar mix we use to the drainage details we build into retaining walls. If you own a home in Chino, our team understands the conditions your property is working against.
