If you have a brick-related project — a repair or new construction — those are some of our favorite projects to work on.

I'm Matt DiBara, fourth generation and current owner. My family has been doing brickwork for over 106 years.

Here's the part people underestimate. The hard work on a brick job isn't laying it. It's sourcing or matching a decorative brick, and then getting the color and texture of the mortar right. That's what separates a repair you notice from one you walk past without seeing.

Brick project in mind? Give us a call. We'd be happy to help you out.

Believe me when I say this is the calm before the storm.

Many meteorologists are warning that unusually warm ocean temperatures and increasing atmospheric moisture could create stronger, more intense storm patterns this winter.

Over the last several years, California has been through severe wildfires, prolonged droughts and extreme weather events that already weakened hillside areas across Los Angeles and the surrounding region. As vegetation disappears and soil becomes destabilized, properties get more vulnerable to poor drainage, soil movement, erosion, retaining wall pressure and overall slope instability.

The dangerous part? Most homeowners don't see the warning signs until a major storm exposes them.

If your home is on a hillside, now is the time to act. Schedule a consultation and our team will perform a hillside inspection to help you understand the risk you're actually carrying.

If you have a concrete restoration project — what does that actually mean?

It could be the exterior of a historical building. Or it could be something structural, like a parking garage or a concrete floor that needs to be repaired back to its original look and finish.

I'm Matt DiBara, fourth generation and current owner. We've been doing projects like this in the family for over 106 years, and we work with dozens of engineers and architects — so the design, the permitting and the work all happen in one place instead of three.

If that's what you have, give us a call and we can certainly help you out.

Did you know most retaining wall failures don't happen because of poor construction? They happen because water found its way in.

Meteorologists are warning that California may experience one of the strongest El Niño patterns in recent years — what's been dubbed the Super El Niño. Combine that with wildfire-scarred hillsides and aging drainage systems, and the risk to hillside properties goes up sharply.

If your property has retaining walls, sloped terrain, drainage concerns, or any signs of cracking or movement, it's worth having it looked at now rather than after.

For $97, a DiBara exterior hillside specialist will assess your property's condition and identify the risks before they become major structural problems.

I'm in Altadena today, walking one of our job sites.

If you have anything related to masonry, concrete, stucco — anything in the hardscaping world, maybe a retaining wall repair or a driveway — listen up.

A lot of projects around here are dug out and ready to go. Before all this work gets crazy and prices go through the roof, my recommendation is simple: call a qualified company and get yourself a bid.

Even if you don't do the work right away, knowing the number now could save you thousands later.

Give us a call and we can certainly help you out.

Most hillside failures start silent.

A small drainage or exterior hillside issue today can turn into a wall failure, property damage, or a six-figure slide in the next rainstorm. By the time it's visible from the street, it's usually already structural.

Our $97 hillside inspection includes a full check of:

• Your drainage system
• Soil instability and erosion that might threaten your hillside
• Cracks, leaning walls, and early signs of movement

Catch the warning signs before they become structural damage. Give us a call.

If you have a retaining wall or a freestanding wall that was damaged by the fires, we can help.

I'm Matt DiBara, fourth generation and current owner. Here's what actually gets checked on a wall like that, because you can't tell by looking at it:

X-ray the wall. Take a core sample to see whether there's thermal degradation. Dig behind it to find out if the waterproofing membrane failed.

Any one of those can come back clean. Any one of them can change the entire repair.

Want an expert masonry and concrete company to consult on your walls, freestanding or retaining? Give us a call.

If you have a stone-related project — a new installation, a repair, or a stone restoration — you're in the right place.

I'm Matt DiBara, fourth generation and current owner. We've been doing stone work in my family for over 106 years. We track it back to both of my great-grandfathers in Italy, all the way over to America. Along the way we picked up a quality and craftsmanship award from Congress.

The work that decides how a stone job ages is the part nobody sees in the photos: selecting the right stone, matching the mortar, and reviewing the whole thing structurally.

Looking for a company that handles all three? Give us a call. We'd be more than happy to help you out.

If you live on a hillside, or you've got a large slope in front of your house and you want to stabilize the soil, this is the kind of work we specialize in.

Here's an example of what can be done. A wall like this needs to be embedded within bedrock, or what we call competent soil. And it needs the right type of wood — that part matters more than people realize.

Sometimes the goal is purely structural. Sometimes, like here, it's as simple as keeping the dirt off the sidewalk.

I'm Matt DiBara, fourth generation and current owner. If you want somebody to come out, take a look at your hillside and tell you how to stabilize it, give us a call.

A really narrow approach, an older style garage, patches, different elevations, uneven concrete.

Sometimes a setup like this doesn't fall under a standard permit at all. We have to bring it to the Bureau of Engineering and get a special approval.

That's the part most contractors won't take on, so homeowners get told it can't be done. Usually it can. It just doesn't conform to current codes, and somebody has to be willing to work that process.

We take it from design to build.
