Learn MoreReach out by phone or contact form. We will ask a few basic questions about what you are seeing and how long it has been going on. Most of the time we can schedule an on-site visit within a few days. You do not need to prepare anything - just be available to walk us around the property. We respond within 1 business day.
One of our masons will come out, look at the damage in person, and explain in plain terms what is wrong and what caused it. We check the full picture - drainage, soil, surrounding structure - not just the visible damage. You will receive a written, itemized estimate before we recommend any work.
Once you approve the estimate, we schedule the work and get it done. The crew keeps you updated on progress, cleans up each day, and walks you through the completed job before leaving. If a permit is required, we handle the application and coordinate the inspection from start to finish.
Advanced Bend Concrete & Masonry holds an active Oregon Construction Contractors Board license. Every job is covered by general liability insurance and workers compensation - protecting your property and our crew from day one.
We come out, look at the work in person, and give you a written, itemized estimate before anything starts. The number on the estimate is the number on the invoice - no balloon bills at the end.
We are a locally owned company that has been working in Bend and Central Oregon since 2020. We know Bend's volcanic soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and building requirements - not a franchise learning on your property.
We select mortar mixes, sealants, and construction methods designed for Bend's high desert climate - wide temperature swings, dry summers, and hard winters. Work that is done right for these conditions lasts decades, not a few seasons.

"The crew showed up when they said they would, finished the foundation work in two days, and cleaned everything up before they left. The new cracks I was worried about after last winter have not come back."
Michael T., Bend - Foundation repair
"I had been putting off the chimney mortar work for a couple years. They came out, gave me a written estimate the same day, and the job looked like the original chimney when they were done. The color match was spot on."
Sara K., Redmond - Chimney repair
"Our retaining wall had been leaning since we moved in. They assessed the drainage issue, rebuilt the wall, and told us exactly what to watch for going forward. Solid work and honest communication throughout."

Bend's freeze-thaw cycles expand water trapped inside masonry up to 9% as it freezes - widening cracks a little more each cycle. Homes at Bend's 3,600-foot elevation face this process more often than lower-elevation Oregon cities, which is why spring is the most common time homeowners notice new damage.
Water is the primary cause of most foundation and masonry damage. When it pools against a foundation, soaks into volcanic soil, or freezes inside a crack, the pressure it creates is enormous. Fixing masonry without also addressing drainage is a temporary fix - the water will find another way in.
Tuckpointing works well when the bricks themselves are intact and only the mortar joints have failed. If bricks are spalling, bulging, or shifting, the damage has gone deeper and replacement is needed. A mason can tell the difference in about 10 minutes on-site.
Fresh mortar needs temperatures above freezing and dry conditions for at least 24 to 48 hours after application. Work done in late fall or during a cold snap can fail within one season if the mortar cures improperly. Late spring through early fall is the correct window in Bend. Portland Cement Association covers proper curing conditions in detail.
Central Oregon's pumice-heavy soil compresses and shifts differently than the clay soils common in western Oregon. It can drain too quickly in some spots and shift under load in others - both conditions put stress on masonry foundations and retaining walls over time.
Oregon requires contractors doing work above a certain dollar threshold to hold an active Oregon Construction Contractors Board license. You can look up any contractor on the CCB website in minutes - it shows license status, bond, and insurance. Always verify before signing a contract.
Advanced Bend Concrete & Masonry is a licensed and insured masonry contractor based in Bend, OR, serving 12 communities across Central Oregon since 2020. We hold an active contractor license issued through the Oregon Construction Contractors Board, the state authority that oversees licensing, bonding, and insurance requirements for Oregon contractors.

We offer 16 masonry services, and every project starts with a free on-site estimate and a written scope of work.
Learn more about our companyFreeze-thaw cycles regularly crack concrete flatwork in Bend. Small surface cracks can be sealed to prevent water intrusion. Wider cracks or lifted sections mean the base material has shifted and the slab likely needs replacement. Oregon State University Extension Service has useful guidance on exterior concrete care for Oregon homeowners.
Before. Every freeze-thaw cycle that passes without a repair widens existing cracks. Mortar work done in fall needs time to cure before the first hard freeze - scheduling by early October gives it that margin. Work done after a winter is fixing damage that already occurred, and the next winter starts the cycle again.
Properly installed mortar joints last 25 to 30 years. A well-built retaining wall or concrete block structure can last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance. The key variable is the match between materials, installation method, and local climate conditions. Materials selected for Bend's high desert climate outperform generic approaches by a significant margin.

Bend is a fast-growing city on the eastern side of the Cascades, sitting at roughly 3,600 feet in the high desert. The city has grown from about 52,000 people in 2000 to over 100,000 today, bringing a mix of older craftsman homes near the downtown core and newer subdivisions on the west and southeast sides. Most of Bend's housing stock was built after 1980, and homes from the early 2000s building boom are now old enough that concrete flatwork, chimneys, and masonry foundations need their first round of serious attention.
The city's defining features - the Deschutes River running through the center of town, Drake Park and Mirror Pond in the heart of the community, and Mount Bachelor visible to the southwest - attract outdoor-focused residents who spend a lot of time on patios, driveways, and walkways. That heavy outdoor use, combined with Bend's over 300 days of sunshine per year and hard winters, means exterior masonry surfaces take more wear here than in most Oregon cities.
Bend's volcanic pumice soil, documented by the Oregon State University Extension Service, shifts differently than the clay soils common west of the Cascades - and that movement shows up in foundation cracks, shifted retaining walls, and uneven driveways across the area. Whether your home is near the older neighborhoods off downtown or in a newer subdivision on the west side, Advanced Bend Concrete & Masonry knows what Central Oregon's conditions do to masonry over time - and how to fix it right.
