Historic Brick Homes in Downtown Los Altos
Downtown Los Altos features charming homes from the 1920s through 1950s with brick exteriors and chimneys that define the neighborhood's character. Your older home needs specialized brick repair services that preserve its historic charm while ensuring structural soundness. We match existing brick colors and sizes precisely so repairs blend seamlessly with your original masonry.
Properties along State Street and near the train depot often show deterioration from decades of weather exposure. Mortar joints break down over time, allowing water to penetrate walls and cause damage. We remove failed mortar carefully and repoint with period-appropriate mixes that match your home's original construction. This protects your investment and maintains the authentic appearance that makes Los Altos homes special.
Many Los Altos homeowners choose us because we understand the balance between historic preservation and practical durability. Your masonry repairs should last another 50 years while respecting the craftsmanship of the original builders. We work throughout downtown and Old Los Altos where attention to detail matters most to property values.
Modern Outdoor Living for Los Altos Families
Los Altos families value outdoor space for entertaining and relaxation. Your backyard can transform into a complete outdoor living area with custom patios, outdoor kitchens, and fire features. We design stone and paver installations that expand your usable space and create the perfect setting for family gatherings throughout the year.
Properties in neighborhoods like Loyola Corners and near Foothill College often have generous backyards with room for elaborate outdoor setups. We install complete outdoor kitchens with built-in grills, refrigerators, and countertops where you can cook and serve meals without running inside. Fire pits and fireplaces extend the season, allowing you to use your outdoor space on cool evenings when temperatures drop.
The mild climate here means your outdoor investment gets used year-round. We select materials that withstand daily use and weather exposure while maintaining their beauty. Natural stone develops character over time, while quality pavers offer consistent colors and patterns. Your outdoor living area becomes an extension of your home where memories are made.

Chimney Services for Year-Round Safety
Los Altos homes rely on chimneys for heating and ambiance during cooler months. Your chimney needs regular maintenance and prompt repairs to function safely. We provide complete chimney repair and rebuilding services for homes throughout Los Altos where chimney problems can lead to dangerous situations if ignored.
Common issues include cracked chimney crowns, damaged flashing where the chimney meets your roof, and deteriorating mortar joints. Water intrusion through these gaps causes progressive damage to the chimney structure and can lead to interior leaks. We inspect your entire chimney system, identify problems, and recommend appropriate repairs before small issues become expensive emergencies.
Properties near El Camino Real and throughout the downtown area often have chimneys that are 50 to 70 years old. Sometimes repair is not enough and a complete rebuild is the safer choice. We handle chimney rebuilds from the roofline up, ensuring proper construction that meets current building codes while matching your home's original appearance and preserving its character.
Elegant Driveways and Front Walkways
Your home's entry creates the first impression for visitors and potential buyers. Upgrading from plain concrete to quality pavers instantly elevates your property's curb appeal. We install paver driveways and walkways that combine beauty with long-lasting performance throughout Los Altos neighborhoods known for well-maintained properties.
The flat terrain in most of Los Altos makes paver installation straightforward, but proper base preparation still matters. We excavate to the correct depth, install compacted aggregate base, and ensure proper slope for drainage away from your home. Edge restraints keep pavers locked in position despite vehicle traffic and prevent the spreading that causes uneven surfaces over time.
We offer various paver styles from traditional brick patterns to contemporary large rectangles. Your choice should complement your home's architecture and existing landscaping. Many Los Altos homeowners select neutral colors that work with any future paint or landscape changes. Your driveway and walkways become permanent features that enhance property value while requiring minimal maintenance for decades.
