Burlingame's Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes are well suited to natural stone accents, and many homeowners here use stone veneer to restore original character or add curb value without a full masonry rebuild. Our stone veneer installation work accounts for the persistent moisture Burlingame homes deal with by using proper moisture barriers and penetrating sealers suited to the Bay Area climate.
Many Burlingame homes from the 1920s through the 1940s have original brick chimneys that have been through decades of marine fog, winter rain, and Bay Area seismic activity. Failing mortar joints, damaged crowns, and loose bricks are common findings on chimneys of this age, and we repair them before they become water entry points or safety hazards.
The older homes in Burlingame Park and Easton Addition sit on foundations that were poured in the 1920s and 1930s - and those original concrete and mortar mixes were not built to last 100 years without attention. We assess and stabilize cracked or settling foundations before minor movement becomes a costly structural problem.
Burlingame has a historic preservation program that covers many of its older homes, and exterior masonry on these properties needs to be restored with period-appropriate materials and methods. We match original mortar colors and textures, clean efflorescence, and return brick and stone facades to their original appearance without violating city preservation guidelines.
Burlingame's hillside streets above El Camino Real have sloped lots where retaining walls hold back significant amounts of saturated clay soil after the winter rainy season. We build block and stone retaining walls designed for Peninsula hillside loads, with drainage provisions to keep hydrostatic pressure from building behind the wall.
The lime-based mortars used in Burlingame's oldest homes have a natural service life, and most joints on pre-war construction are now soft, crumbling, or cracked. Tuckpointing removes failed mortar and replaces it with a matched mix, sealing the wall against Burlingame's year-round fog moisture without altering the original appearance.
A significant share of Burlingame's housing stock was built before 1960, and many of the most desirable homes in neighborhoods like Burlingame Park and Easton Addition date back to the 1920s and 1930s. That age means original foundations, brick chimneys, and exterior masonry that have been through decades of Bay Area weather - wet winters, persistent marine fog, occasional frost, and periodic seismic shaking. The materials used in that era have a finite service life, and a contractor who works regularly in Burlingame knows exactly what to expect when they look at a pre-war chimney or a 90-year-old porch foundation.
Burlingame's position along San Francisco Bay means the city stays damp almost year-round. Marine fog rolls in regularly, keeping masonry surfaces wet for hours at a time even when it has not rained in days. That persistent moisture breaks down mortar joints, encourages efflorescence on brick surfaces, and accelerates the freeze-thaw cracking that happens on the coldest winter nights. The heavy rains that fall between November and March also saturate clay soils around foundations, increasing the pressure on basement walls and crawl spaces. Work done by a contractor who understands these local conditions is far more likely to hold up than a generic fix applied without regard to the environment.
Our crew works throughout Burlingame regularly, and the type of properties we encounter most often are the Craftsman bungalows and Spanish Colonial Revival homes on tree-lined streets in the older residential neighborhoods. These homes need stone and masonry work done with attention to historic character, and we are familiar with the Burlingame Historic Preservation Program guidelines that apply to some properties in the city's older districts.
Burlingame is a compact city of about 6 square miles, and we know its neighborhoods well - from the busy streets near Burlingame Avenue and Washington Park to the quieter hillside blocks above El Camino Real. The Caltrain corridor runs through the center of the city, and the proximity to San Francisco International Airport means Bay moisture and fog are constants for most of the year. We factor those conditions into every material selection and installation method we use here.
We also serve the surrounding Peninsula communities. Homeowners in Millbrae to the north often contact us for the same range of older-home masonry work, and we route crews between both cities efficiently.

(650) 509-3556Burlingame is a small, densely settled city on the San Francisco Peninsula, covering roughly 6 square miles between San Francisco Bay and the hills to the west. The city is known for its mature tree canopy, its historic 1894 Caltrain depot, and the shops and restaurants along Burlingame Avenue. Washington Park sits at the center of the residential grid, and the neighborhoods surrounding it - Burlingame Park, Easton Addition, and Lyon-Hoag - are filled with owner-occupied homes that residents have maintained and upgraded for decades.
The housing stock here is older than most Peninsula cities, with a large proportion of homes dating to the 1920s through the 1940s. Craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revival cottages, and Spanish Colonial homes are common architectural styles, and many properties carry local historic designations. This is a city of homeowners who take their properties seriously and want work done with the right materials and the right approach. We serve Burlingame alongside nearby San Mateo, and our crews are comfortable working throughout this corridor of older Peninsula communities.
