Serving Roseville, CA and surrounding areas. (279) 235-1766
RV Roseville Masonry is a licensed masonry contractor serving Citrus Heights, CA with brick repair, foundation work, chimney repair, and retaining wall construction for homeowners across the city. We work on the postwar ranch homes and tract houses that make up most of Citrus Heights, and we understand the clay soils and aging concrete that drive repair needs in this area.
Most homes in Citrus Heights were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and many have original brick chimneys and front-entry accents that have been through decades of summer heat and winter rains. Our brick repair work uses mortar mixes matched to the original brickwork so patches hold and blend rather than pulling existing units apart over time.
Citrus Heights sits on expansive clay soils that swell in the winter rains and pull back in the summer heat - and that cycle is why older homes throughout the city develop sticking doors, diagonal wall cracks, and uneven floors. Addressing foundation movement early, before the cracks widen, keeps repair costs manageable.
Many yards in Citrus Heights slope toward the street or rear property line, and original concrete block retaining walls from the 1960s and 1970s are now at the age where mortar joints are failing and walls are beginning to bow. A rebuilt or newly installed wall restores grade control and stops the erosion that heavy winter rains accelerate.
The ranch-style homes that dominate Citrus Heights were commonly built with brick fireplaces, and chimneys on 50- to 60-year-old homes frequently have failed crowns, cracked flue tiles, and mortar that has crumbled from decades of freeze-thaw cycling. Repairing these issues before the rainy season prevents water intrusion into the firebox and surrounding wall framing.
Driveways and walkways poured in the 1960s and 1970s in Citrus Heights have been through 50-plus years of clay soil movement, tree root pressure, and temperature swings - and many are now cracked, heaved, or uneven enough to be a trip hazard. Replacing aging concrete flatwork improves safety and the appearance of the property at the same time.
Mortar joints on brick chimneys and block walls throughout Citrus Heights deteriorate faster than the masonry units themselves, and crumbling joints let water in well before visible brick damage appears. Tuckpointing removes the failed mortar and packs in fresh material that restores the weather seal and extends the life of the structure by decades.
Citrus Heights incorporated as its own city in 1997, but most of its neighborhoods were built out between the 1950s and 1980s. That makes the typical home here between 40 and 70 years old - old enough that original concrete flatwork, brick chimneys, and block retaining walls have been through a long series of Sacramento Valley wet-dry cycles. Summers regularly push above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, drying out mortar joints and causing concrete to contract. Winters bring concentrated rains from November through March that push water into any crack or failed joint. A masonry contractor working in Citrus Heights needs to understand both ends of that seasonal swing.
The underlying soil adds another layer of complexity. Much of Citrus Heights sits on expansive clay, which swells when saturated and shrinks in the summer heat. Homes built on this soil without deep enough footings or properly compacted bases show the effects over time: cracked driveways, bowing retaining walls, and foundations that have gradually shifted. The City of Citrus Heights Community Development Department requires permits for structural masonry work, and understanding those local permit requirements keeps projects moving without delays.
Our crew works throughout Citrus Heights regularly and understands the specific conditions that affect masonry work in this city. The housing stock here is almost entirely single-family ranch homes and two-story tract houses from the postwar decades, and those homes have specific maintenance patterns: brick chimneys that need crown and joint work, original concrete driveways and patios that have been shifting on clay soil for 40 to 60 years, and aging block retaining walls where mortar joints have softened and begun to fail.
Sunrise Boulevard runs through the commercial center of the city and is the reference point most residents use when describing where they live. Neighborhoods fan out from that corridor in both directions, from the areas near Rusch Community Park in the north to the residential streets that run along Greenback Lane toward the Folsom border. We work across all of these neighborhoods and have seen firsthand how tree roots from mature street trees in the older blocks can lift walkways and crack driveways faster than the soil movement alone.

Citrus Heights is a city of roughly 87,000 to 90,000 residents in northeastern Sacramento County, bordered by Roseville, Folsom, Fair Oaks, and Sacramento. It incorporated as its own city in 1997, but its neighborhoods were developed largely during the postwar suburban boom of the 1950s through the 1980s. The result is a dense, almost entirely residential city of single-family ranch homes and two-story tract houses on modest lots. The Sunrise MarketPlace corridor along Sunrise Boulevard forms the city's main commercial spine, and most neighborhoods radiate outward from that artery. You can learn more about the city at the Citrus Heights Wikipedia article.
The city has very little undeveloped land remaining, and with a homeownership rate around 55 to 60 percent, most residents have a direct stake in maintaining their properties. Rusch Community Park is one of the larger gathering points in the city, and Greenback Lane is the east-west road most residents know as a daily landmark. The streets around these anchors include some of the oldest residential construction in the area, with homes from the early 1960s that have original brick chimneys, poured concrete driveways, and block garden walls. Our service coverage also includes nearby Folsom and Sacramento, so if you are near the city borders, we cover that too.
