Meet R&L, the North Las Vegas masonry crew that starts with why
I spent years as the right hand to another mason, running his crew and writing his bids, before I started this business. Most calls we get are about a crack, a leak or a failed joint nobody can explain, or about plans for a new wall, driveway or outdoor kitchen. Either way, I come out and look first.
We're based in North Las Vegas and work across the cities around it, from Henderson and Paradise out to Summerlin South and Boulder City. Call (702) 269-8957 or use the contact page. If you'd like the longer story of how I learned the trade, it's on our about page.

Why homeowners here call R&L
Most people call us with a problem they can't explain, and I'd rather find the real cause and tell you straight what it needs. Call (702) 269-8957 and I'll come look.
The cause before the fix
I come out myself and work out why the wall cracked or the joint failed, so you pay for the repair your wall actually needs.
Sound work stays put
We repair the parts that are failing and leave the good brick and stone alone, which keeps more of your original wall and keeps the job smaller.
A straight answer on timing
If a problem can wait, I'll say so. If it needs an engineer or design professional before any mason touches it, you'll hear that first.
Permit paperwork handled
The rules depend on whether you're in North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City or a county-run area, so we check with the right office and handle the paperwork.

Masonry in North Las Vegas and nearby
R&L North Las Vegas Concrete & Masonry is based in North Las Vegas, NV, and works across the cities around it, including Henderson and Boulder City. The 10 areas below each have their own page, and we work in other cities nearby too.
What masonry work is like in North Las Vegas
North Las Vegas is dry and hot most of the year, and plenty of homes here have block yard walls, stucco over block and paver drives. When one of those cracks or a joint lets go, rain is rarely the reason, so I look at sprinkler water at the base, shifting ground and sun-baked mortar first.
The person who looks at your wall also does the work with our crew, so nothing gets lost between the estimate and the job. We protect your plants and paths, keep the mess inside the work area and clean up before we leave, because you still have to live there while we work.

(702) 269-8957Questions about masonry work
How much does masonry repair cost in North Las Vegas?
It depends on the size of the repair, the material and how much of the wall has actually failed, so I only give a figure once I've seen it. The estimate is free, done at your property and written out with the full scope.
Is it cheaper to repair a cracked block wall or replace it?
Repair is usually cheaper when the cause can be fixed and most of the wall is sound, because we only rebuild the failing section. If the footing has moved or the wall leans badly, rebuilding can cost less over time, and I'll tell you which way I think yours should go.
How long does a masonry project take?
It depends on the job's size, the material and what we find once a wall is opened up, and your written estimate lays out what the schedule turns on. A permit, an engineer's review or special-order stone can add time before we start.
Does a masonry contractor need a license in Nevada?
Yes, the Nevada State Contractors Board says every contractor must be licensed before contracting, and that includes bidding on or negotiating a price for your job. Repairs fall under the same rule as new construction, and we're licensed and fully insured. On permits Clark County issues, contractors also need an active Multi-Jurisdictional Business License number.
What happens after I ask for a masonry estimate?
We reply within one business day to set a time, then I come out, look at the problem and ask what you've noticed. You get the scope and price in writing, and if you go ahead, our crew and I do the work.
Do you guarantee your masonry work?
We stand behind our work with one promise, "Your satisfaction, guaranteed." Part of keeping it is fixing the cause and not just the crack, because a repair that skips the cause usually shows up again.
Will new brick or mortar match my existing wall?
We match color, texture and size as closely as we can, and when we repoint, we use a mortar that's no harder than the brick around it, because mortar that's too hard can crack old brick. An exact match isn't always possible on older walls, so I'll show you samples before we start.
How much rain does North Las Vegas get, and does it matter for masonry?
Very little, about 4.18 inches a year in the normals for the nearest regional weather station, which isn't in North Las Vegas itself. So when a wall here stains or wears away at the base, I usually check sprinklers and drainage before I blame the rain.
