About our Merced masonry contractor business
Optimum Merced Concrete and Masonry is an owner-run masonry contractor in Merced, repairing brick and stone with care and building new walls, walkways and pavers properly.
Back to masonry, one detail at a time
I learned masonry on a crew when I was young, then spent years in other work before I came back to the trade. Coming back, I took my time relearning the details, like how a joint gets packed and finished and how new mortar sits against old brick, and that's still how I work. I started this business in Merced in 2023.
Most of our calls are about worn mortar joints, tired chimneys and older walls, along with new walls, walkways and pavers people want done right. Masonry shows a shortcut for years, so I work to get the details right the first time. If a joint is fine, I'll tell you so, because I'd rather do that than sell you work you don't need. That's how we handle the masonry work we do in Merced and the cities around it, including Atwater, Turlock, Modesto and Madera.
What to expect from our masonry crew
You get a straight answer about your wall and a written estimate that spells out what we'll do and how we'll do it, so you can compare bids line by line.
The owner, start to finish
I come out to look at your job and write the estimate, then work on site with our crew, so the person who scoped it checks the work.
Only what has failed
We repair the brick and mortar that has actually failed and leave sound work alone, so you aren't paying to redo joints still doing their job.
Repairs that blend in
We match new mortar and stone to what's already on your wall, so a repair blends in and doesn't wear down the old masonry around it.
Ask us how the work gets done
We're fully licensed and insured, and the City of Merced requires contractors to hold a city business license before applying for a permit, so ask any contractor to show it. Ask us how your job will be done, mortar and all.
