About BMK Berkeley Masonry - Masonry Contractor in Berkeley, CA

BMK Berkeley Masonry started in 2023 with a straightforward goal: give Berkeley homeowners a masonry contractor they could actually trust. The East Bay has no shortage of older homes - Craftsman bungalows in the Elmwood, hillside properties near Tilden Park, mid-century buildings in the Flatlands - and most of them have masonry that needs attention sooner or later.

We got into this trade because we saw too many homeowners handed sloppy work and vague estimates. Berkeley is a city where homes are genuinely valuable in history, character, and market price - and they deserve to be treated that way. Whether the job is a crumbling chimney after a wet winter, a foundation showing the effects of years on clay soil near the Hayward Fault, or a retaining wall on a steep hillside lot, we approach every project the same way: look at it carefully, explain what we find honestly, and do the work right.

We are a locally owned operation based right here in Berkeley. We know the neighborhoods, we understand the permit process at the city building department, and we have hands-on experience with the specific conditions - seismic risk, expansive clay soil, and wet winters - that affect masonry in this part of California. Since 2023, we have completed masonry projects across 16 service categories and 12 cities throughout the East Bay.
