Learn MoreReach out by phone or through our contact form and describe what you are seeing - a crack, a stain, a leaning wall. You do not need to know the technical name for the problem. We respond within 1 business day to schedule a visit at a time that works for you.
We come to your property, walk the area with you, and look at the actual condition of the masonry. We will tell you honestly what we find - including if the issue is minor and does not need major work right now. You receive a clear written estimate before any commitment is required.
Our crew arrives on schedule and works cleanly. When the job is finished, we walk you through what was done, clean up the work area completely, and hand you your warranty documentation. Most residential projects wrap up in one to three days. You are not left guessing.
We are registered with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. We carry general liability and workers compensation on every project - you can verify our license number before work begins.
We come to your property, assess the actual condition of the masonry, and give you a written estimate at no cost. We do not give verbal ballpark figures over the phone - you deserve a number based on what we actually see.
We are a local company, not a franchise. Our crew knows Yakima's clay soils, freeze-thaw winters, and older housing stock. When you call after the job, a real local person picks up.
Every job comes with written warranty documentation. Structural repairs carry multi-year coverage. We offer transferable warranties on qualifying work - which can matter when you sell your home.

"The crew showed up when they said they would and got the chimney repointed in a day and a half. I had been putting it off for two winters and the mortar was really bad at the top. They matched the old brick color well enough that you can not tell where they worked unless you look closely."
Robert M., Selah - Chimney repair
"We had a section of our foundation that had been cracking for a few years and I kept wondering if it was serious. They came out, looked at everything, and told me exactly what was happening. The repair took two days and they gave me a written warranty. It is the first time I felt like a contractor actually explained what they were doing."
Sandra K., Yakima - Foundation repair
"We got a retaining wall built along the back of our property where the slope was pushing soil toward the house. Solid work - it is level, drains properly, and looks a lot better than the old railroad ties it replaced. The estimate was accurate, no surprises on the final bill."
Dave T., Union Gap - Retaining wall construction
We respond within 1 business day. There is no obligation to proceed after we review your project. After you submit, someone from our office will call you to schedule a free on-site estimate at a time that works for you.

Practical information to help you recognize problems early and make confident decisions.
Yakima's winters swing above and below freezing repeatedly - and every cycle pushes moisture deeper into existing cracks. The Cascade Range blocks most Pacific rain, but the valley still sees enough winter moisture to make freeze-thaw damage a real and consistent problem for foundations, brick walls, and chimneys.
That white residue - called efflorescence - is salt pushed out of your masonry by water moving through the wall. It is not just cosmetic. In Yakima, where irrigation water is hard and freeze-thaw cycles are common, efflorescence is a clear signal that moisture is getting in and doing damage you cannot see from the surface.
Many Yakima homes were built before 1970 on shallower foundations with less reinforcement than modern standards require. If your home is more than 40 years old and has never had a foundation inspection, the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends a professional assessment even if you have not noticed obvious problems.
Tuckpointing works when the bricks are still solid and only the mortar has failed. If bricks are cracking, spalling, or shifting out of alignment, that damage has progressed beyond the joints. In Yakima's climate, waiting too long to address mortar failure is the most common reason a modest repair turns into a costly rebuild.
Yakima's irrigated landscapes shift soil seasonally, and a wall that has started leaning outward is holding back more pressure than it was designed for. A visible bow or lean - even a few inches - means the wall should be assessed soon. A failing retaining wall does not give much warning before it gives way entirely.
Yes - the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries requires contractors performing structural masonry and foundation work to be registered and insured. Verifying a contractor's license before signing anything is a two-minute step that protects you from unpermitted work and no-recourse situations if something goes wrong.
Yakima Concrete & Masonry is a licensed and insured masonry contractor based in Yakima, WA, serving homeowners and property owners across the Yakima Valley since 2020. We are registered with the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries, which requires us to carry liability insurance and workers compensation on every project we take on.
Our masonry contractor registration with Washington State L&I covers structural masonry, foundation work, chimney repair, and related concrete and stone services. We pull required permits on your behalf so you do not have to navigate that process yourself.
Since 2020, we have completed masonry projects across 16 service categories and 12 communities in the Yakima Valley. We are a small, owner-operated company - not a franchise - which means the same people who give you an estimate show up to do the work. Learn more about our company and our team.
Most masonry problems get worse in winter, not better. If you notice a crack or gap in the fall, get an assessment before the ground freezes. A repair done now is almost always less expensive than the same repair done after another freeze-thaw cycle widens the damage.
A proper estimate names the specific work to be done, the materials, the approximate timeline, and the total cost. If an estimate is verbal or just a single number with no description, ask for it in writing before you sign anything. Vague estimates lead to disputes later.
Washington State makes it easy. Go to the Washington L&I contractor lookup tool and enter the contractor's name or license number. It shows registration status, insurance coverage, and any filed complaints - all in about two minutes.
If you are ready to get a professional opinion, call us at (509) 654-9682 and we will schedule a free on-site estimate with no obligation.
Yakima is the largest city in the Yakima Valley and one of the major cities in eastern Washington, with around 96,000 residents. The city sits at roughly 1,100 feet elevation in a semi-arid river valley surrounded by agricultural land. You can read more about the city at the U.S. Census Bureau Yakima profile. About half of Yakima's homes were built before 1970, which means a significant share of the housing stock is at or past the point where original masonry - foundations, chimneys, and brick walls - needs professional attention.
Yakima is known for its role as a hub of apple and hop production, and the city has deep agricultural roots that go back generations. Many families here have owned their homes for a long time. Landmarks like the Yakima Valley SunDome and the Yakima Farmers Market are central to the community. The Yakima River Greenway runs along the edge of the city and is a gathering place for residents across the valley.
Yakima averages around 300 sunny days per year and only about 8 inches of rain. That combination of intense sun, dry air, and hard freeze-thaw winters creates a demanding environment for masonry. Yakima Concrete & Masonry has been working on homes across this valley since 2020 - we understand the local soil conditions, the older housing stock, and the climate patterns that drive the masonry problems Yakima homeowners face.
