HW Hayward Masonry was founded in 2025 by a masonry crew that has spent years working the East Bay. We set up in Hayward, CA because this is where we live - and where we know the ground, the homes, and the specific problems that come with both. Hayward sits on clay-heavy soil near the bay that swells with every winter rain and shrinks back in the summer heat. That cycle puts real stress on foundations, brick, and concrete over time. Most homeowners here have seen it play out in their own yards.
We started out doing foundation inspections and brick repair in the older flatland neighborhoods near downtown Hayward - streets lined with homes built in the 1950s and 1960s, many of which had never had any significant masonry work done. Word spread because we did something basic well: we showed up on time, explained the work in plain language, and did not cut corners on permits or materials. That is still how we operate.
Today we cover 12 cities across the East Bay and South Bay, offering 16 masonry services from foundation repair and chimney work to retaining walls and outdoor kitchens. Every job - big or small - gets the same inspection process, the same written estimate, and the same licensed crew. Hayward homeowners have enough to deal with without a contractor who makes the job harder than it needs to be.
We hold an active California Contractors State License Board (CSLB) license and carry general liability insurance on every project. You should always verify a contractor's license before signing anything - ours is on file and up to date.
We come out, look at the actual problem, and give you a written estimate before you decide anything. No phone quotes, no pressure, no vague line items. The price we quote is the price you pay.
We live and work in the East Bay. We know what the clay soils, the Hayward Fault, and the wet winters do to masonry here. That local knowledge shows up in every repair we recommend.
Structural masonry work in California requires permits. We handle the City of Hayward process from application to final sign-off. You get the paperwork when we are done - proof the work passed an independent city inspector.

The C-29 classification covers masonry construction in California, including brick, block, stone, and concrete masonry. It is issued by the California Contractors State License Board and requires demonstrated field experience and a passing score on the state licensing exam. This is the license that covers the majority of our work.
The C-8 classification covers concrete construction including foundations, flatwork, driveways, and structural concrete elements. Holding both the C-29 and C-8 licenses means we can handle the full scope of a masonry or foundation project without having to subcontract the concrete portions to another crew.
