The problem was a protruding masonry wall. My large podocarpus tree's roots were forcing it outward over my neighbors highly visible drive area. I had spoken with 3+ contractors who all said the entire wall would need to be rebuilt, and gave me double digit estimates to do the work. A friend engineer-construction person took a look and said the rest of the retaining wall was fine. I then consulted Angi's list for masonry business's willing to do smaller repair jobs. Called a couple and they visited. WCD Masonry gave the best bid. William has good communication skills. He was able to understand the problem and quickly formulated a plan to fix it. There were also gardeners involved, and he was able to coordinate with their timeline. He stayed true to his word. He was also flexible in making adjustments per the relevant neighbor's desires. He and his right-hand man, Manny know their masonry. They were highly efficient in; evaluation; accommodating the inconvenienced neighbor; demolition of damaged wall; purchasing appropriate replacement materials; putting everything together and finishing it all up with a beautiful matching paint job that caused me to say "It looks like it's been there for years. That's a beautiful wall!" They also patched up an adjacent damaged wall without mention or extra charge. Didn't see it tell later the night of their project's completion. They were focused on repairing a 'breakdown problem', and kept with that priority. William is an artist. This is an excellent company. If you like intelligent, qualified, able, efficiency, with good stable priority's, this is the place to go. This positive experience changes my attitude about hiring help. If I thought up some other needed masonry projects, I would want them to do the work. Side note; also, they are very likable people. read more

Highly recommend William and his team! After a failed experience with another contractor who I hired to rebuild a 24' long x 6' high slump stone retaining wall, I contacted William upon reading many excellent Yelp reviews left by his other clients. He did not disappoint. Not only is he a licensed mason with extensive experience, William is professional, courteous, and responsive. He is also a craftsman and cares about the quality and aesthetics of his work, unlike many other contractors I have dealt with. William's work was beyond my expectations. And, his price was very reasonable. read more

This is the only call you need to make. I could not be happier with the wall of course. But the crew - William is the BEST, period.

A few weeks ago my wife and I were woken up in the middle of the night by a driver crashing into our alley facing wall and putting a giant hole in it. We reached out to WCD Masonry based on the strength of these Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed. William showed up the same day we called and was able to take a look at the damage, assess the scope of the repairs required, and help us to secure the hole while we waited for our insurance company to complete their assessment and send us a check. Once that was done WCD was able to start work that same weekend. They completed the job in one day and restored the wall to its original appearance. As you can see in the photos it looks like the accident never happened. We highly recommend WCD Masonry! read more

Like you mentioned the scope of the work was never doubled, if that's the case can you prove we paid you double the amount what mentioned on the contract? Of course we watered the concrete like you mentioned. Yes, we told you our previous contractor worked one day, took our money & disappeared. See strains of concrete on the ribbons, was never properly cleaned in the first place. Update: The proof is in the pudding. My pictures should help anyone to make a decision. This review is to help other customers. Fact1 : The water is draining towards the house not away from the house. Fact2 : More than normal cracks every where, even my old driveway doesn't have these many cracks. Fact3: When informed about the abnormal cracks and puddles towards the house the contractor didn't even bother to come take a look at it and find a solution or explain the reason. read more

I am very pleased with the results from WCD Masonry. I was contacted quickly after requesting a quote which was very reasonable. The work was performed on time and came out exactly as requested. William was a pleasure to work with. read more

WCD Masonry has built two block walls for me and also laid several concrete slabs at my property. His craftsmanship is second to none. I did a lot of research prior to giving him my business. He is licensed, bonded and insured. His pricing is super competitive. My advice is to ask for references and photos from the contractors past jobs and check their license to make sure you are getting someone who is licensed to do this work in the state of California. The phone number is (562) 810-3069. I hope this helps. read more

My plan was to enclose my side yard to add it to my back yard. William attended the city hearing and helped to back me up with the facts. When we started, he and his crew (Manny and Chris) did a wonderful job building the block wall around the side yard with a small planter per my design requirements. William is very competent and accommodated my requests. If I had another project, I would definitely hire him again. Thank you, William for my beautiful wall; as you already know, I'm the envy of the entire neighborhood! read more

I received 2 quotes from other companies, and William beat both estimates hands down. William and Chris were professional, courteous, returned all calls timely, and on time each and everyday they worked on my home. I can't say enough GREAT things about these two. I highly recommend WCD Masonry for all of your Masonry projects. I am a Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams (The Greene Team,) and I will make it a point to refer all of my clients who may need Masonry work to WCD Masonry. Thank you William, your work was outstanding and I appreciate you! read more

William built a fairly large property line wall for me and he did a great job. He dealt with the seriously troublesome neighbor and city inspector with great tact. The wall was plumb, flat and level. I'm in the construction industry so I know what to look for and I'm fairly picky. I will have him come back to do my planter walls. Honest and competent. read more

Fantastic Masonry work, William and Chris did an exceptional job with installing a 6'6 tan concrete block wall for my home. The price was competitive when compared to other contractors and just about every day was spent tearing down my old wooden fence and installing the wall. Project took about two weeks to complete. I will be using their services again in the future for any masonry work and highly recommend them to anybody who is in need of such services! read more

Contacted WCD Masonry as a couple of blocks had fallen from my retaining wall. After contacting a few contractors, I knew the response would not be great as many contractors only want to take on big jobs. I had a couple of returned phone calls and WCD Masonry was one of them. After speaking to William, we agreed for him to come and take a look and give an estimate. William, was very professional when initially meeting him and he was very nice to come in between jobs. His customer service and efficiency alone speaks volumes. I initially thought it would just an be estimate appointment, but he was able to perform the repair that day. William is a Godsend as when your wall comes down, you can't help but feel vulnerable. Nothing like a wall giving you that sense of security. I can't recommend WCD Masonry enough as when you have someone working on your property, you want someone who will be efficient, respectful and competent. read more

Thank you WCD Masonry. Before you give your job to any other contractor, be sure to call William Dunn. His prices and quality of work surpasses all. He's up front with his cost and he explains the work that needs to be performed in order to get your job done. I went from a sagging, crooked retaining wall to a retaining wall that I'm proud of. Nothing but high remarks on the quality of work. Thanks again read more

We're so glad that we were able to have William Dunn at WCD Masonry build our 90' wall between our house & a busy road! He went above & beyond with all aspects of the project & we couldn't be happier! Compared to other masons that we initially considered, William was actually very enthusiastic & creative when giving us an idea of various options that would be most useful & beautiful for our application. He educated us enough so we could decide. We thought we just wanted a barrier from traffic noise, but he also gave us close to 1000ft2 of a completely safe, enclosed, private area where pets & children can play without worries. We decided to go with a double sided split block which is beautiful and maintenance free for us. It has greatly increased the value of our home already & we've had so many complements about how clean & beautiful it is. William is a true craftsman & takes pride in the details, not only in the structure, but the appearance as well. He worked continually until the project was complete, came early & kept our property tidy & safe during construction. It was a pleasure having William at our home & I would consider him a friend now as well as the only mason I will ever use or suggest! read more

We recently bought our house and we're currently in the process of renovating. Throughout the process we've dealt with a number of contractors, fumigators, electricians, etc. At least fifteen of them. WCD Masonry was one of the three companies that was completely honest, helpful and courteous throughout the entire process. Mr. William Dunn never nickel and dime'd us and provided expert service right from the start. Even after a year from my original request, he still held true to his quote. There was a wall in our backyard that needed to be repaired/installed and William and his crew answered the call with ease. William even went above and beyond and dealt with the city giving us a hard time. Long story short, the city didn't have a few of our permits on file and gave William a hard time about getting the permit for the new wall. They blamed him and us for their mistake but William was very professional in handling the entire situation. He took our paperwork back to the office after they gave him the run around and even ate costs for refilling for a demo permit. I was fully expecting to pay the additional cost and deal with getting my money back from the city. Not with William on the job. He's still dealing with retrieving his refund. I don't know many contractors that will pay for something on your behalf. Not too many in my experience...William even played with my 10 month old son while I moved my car across the street on street cleaning day. Along with A1 service and professionalism, he's also very kind and personable. The entire process took 2 days and it would have only taken one day if William didn't have to deal with the city. They worked hard, never bothered me or my son and we're always prompt. I'd hire them again in a second. Don't have second thoughts about having WCD Masonry perform work for you on your next job. Thanks WCD Masonry! Truly a great company. read more

WCD Masonry - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Long Beach, California

They sounded nice on the phone, but no quote was sent and no response when I texted to find out why.

We had a small section of a block wall that had cracked from a huge root. The wall moved against our gate, jamming it closed and unusable. I got quotes from contractors and even though William's quote was a little higher, I chose him because of the yelp reviews, the quality of hIs communication, and his informative and nice demeanor when he first came out to quote the job. I was glad I picked him. The work is exemplary, was done on time, and he even removed and reinstalled the gate (which the other contractors would not do). I also appreciated that his son was with him - a nice, hard-working young man who is a true gentleman. Let's continue to support local businesses. William does our community proud. read more

I needed to build a block wall in my backyard to replace a dilapidated wood fence that had blown over in the last storm. I'm pretty careful when hiring a contractor, so I had 6 masonry companies come out to give me a quote. From the start, I really liked William. He was honest and direct. He talked with us for over an hour and answered all our questions (and I had a lot!). Never once did he seem put out or annoyed. He seemed like a genuine nice guy. His quote was also very competitive and the pictures of his previous jobs were impressive. I had got busy with work and it was a couple weeks before I contacted William to let him know we chose him for the job. Of course he had already taken another job by then and was upfront with me on when he thought he could start. It was only a couple weeks out but he made sure to keep me informed on his schedule, which I appreciated. Throughout the whole process William and crew were polite and courteous, showed up when they were supposed to, worked hard all day, and then cleaned up after themselves. He also handled all the permits and city inspections which was a relief. Any questions I had along the way were quickly answered and things went very smoothly. We are extremely happy with the final product. Also thinking it would be an easy fix, I had asked William if he could fix a broken block on my existing block wall (it was a different color and had scores on it so completely different from the block he was using for the new wall). Well it turned out it was a really hard block to find and William had to go all over to find it. Most would have just given up as I had already paid him in full for the job, but not William. He is a man of his word. He had to drive all over but he found that block for me and fixed it beautifully. Not only that, but he also touched up the missing grout on my existing block wall near the broken block as an added bonus just because he's that awesome! He goes above and beyond. I have never had an experience like this with a contractor. The whole process was so pleasant and EASY. He takes absolute pride in his work and it shows through on the finished product. I will not hesitate to contact WCD Masonry for any of my future masonry needs. read more

I called WCD for a quote to replace the current wood fence with block walls. William responded my call very quick. He is friendly and professional.

William quoted me $18,0000 on a brick wall but he required $6000 down. He seemed very professional so I gave him the down payment to begin the work. A week later he called me and asked for another $6000 on top of the $18000 for a total of $24000. Basically he gave me a low bid then jacked up the price once we gave him a down payment. When I asked William " why my $18000 wall is now $24000"he gave me a laundry list of excesses including my favorite "it had to be hurricane proof and thus required more material" to which I replied "were in California we don't get hurricanes" . So if you think your getting a fair deal from William make sure you read his contract carefully because although he loves to talk his contracts are extremely vague. Update: William Dunn and his crew did an excellent job and we negotiated the 30% mark up down to about 10%. read more

Mr. Dunn and his team recently built a block wall on our property and installed a metal sliding gate. My husband and I were extremely impressed with his level of professionalism and quality of work. Mr. Dunn was a great communicator. He gave us a fair estimate of the work to be done on our property before hand and honored it. He provided us with daily updates and pictures of the work he and his men did on our property and thoroughly answered the questions we had. He pulled all the necessary permits needed to complete the job and met with the inspector to confirm that the work was up to code. Mr. Dunn also stuck to his time line. He and his men arrived on time everyday, kept the workspace clean and were mindful of our neighbors. It was a pleasure to work with Mr. Dunn. It is without reservation that we recommend him to family and friends. Thank you Mr. Dunn, we love our block wall! read more

Over the past 10 years I have worked with several contractors and WCD Masonry is the best contractor I have ever worked with! The reason I feel they are the best is because of William. Will is a person of his word and the quality of his work is excellent. I received several quotes for my block wall project and WCD gave me a reasonable price with the absolute best customer service. Will is very knowledgeable and was great at helping me understand the project process. My project was difficult due to challenges with obtaining city permits and the actual location of the wall. My wall is over 100ft long, abutting a major street on a cul-de-sac. The city initially denied my permit. Will took the time to help me get my project approved by the city and after 4 months of meetings and phone calls, I finally got my permits. I not only got my permits, but we were successful at having the city regulations amended for homeowners with the same issue I had. Will and I ensured that this issue would not be a set back for others in the same situation. My neighbor in particular was very grateful because she is planning to start the same project in a couple years and it's no surprise that she wants to contract Will and WCD Masonry for the project. Will and his employees are professional, reliable and very good at what they do. He gave me a timeline and finished my project exactly on schedule. He coordinated everything from city permits to temporary fencing. Since WCD is so good, they are busy and you may be scheduled for the following month, but the quality of work you will received is A+. WCD is worth the wait! In fact I was so impressed with WCD, that I contracted them again to do another project at my home. This project was installing a giant slab of cement on the side of my house and a gate. I am so happy with the end result of both of my projects. I receive complements about how great it looks all the time and that's 100% WCD and Will. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about WCD Masonry and William. Will is an expert in the industry and his work speaks for itself. Contracting WCD Masonry to do my projects was the best decision and I highly recommend you do the same for you projects. read more

As I look out at my new block wall and metal side gates, I am pleased and grateful for the fine work of William Dunn and his men. William was a pleasure to work with: he was straightforward and extremely fair, and the wall and gates exceeded our expectations. Not only was William a great communicator with me and my husband, but he also advocated on our behalf with the tree service who had done a poor job removing roots. We fully recommend WCD Masonry and will hire William again for future projects. read more

I had WCD reinforce and add on to my back yard fence that faces an alley. Wonderful job. William and his time were so friendly and he told me exactly what he was doing. I am so happy. Do not hesitate to call WIlliam for any masonry issue. I wish I could give him more stars. read more

We hired William to build our retaining wall. It was a major project, about 2 years in the making. The wall was approximately 100ft long and 6ft tall with a lot of requirements by our engineer and the city. William was able to work with both of them, solved any problems that arose, and finished the project in a timely manner. William was at the construction site everyday working along with his crew and always found time to update me on the status of project after the end of each day. It was a pleasure to work with William and will highly recommend his company (WCD Masonry). read more

I write this for my dad as he does not have access to the internet. WCD Masonry did a beautiful job on our driveway. Mr. Dunn showed up on time for the price quote. He submitted the written quote when he said he would and arrived each day at the time he promised and completed the job to perfection. Mr. Dunn and his crew were polite and professional. They demonstrated excellent job knowledge and work habits. The property was kept neat and orderly. All associated materials and debris were disposed of satisfactorily. The work commenced in a timely and well organized manner. The job was completed and there were no additional charges or surprises. The end result was a very nice driveway! I must add that the driveway turned out great. They really did a fantastic job! read more

We recently had a fence replaced using WCD Masonry. No construction project is easy, but William and his crew made the experience as pleasant as it could be. They were always prompt, made sure we were aware of every step of the process and what to expect during the construction. They took care in protecting both properties and were very amenable to suggestions. The wall is just what we wanted and William dealt with some sticky issues with grace and professionalism! We truly appreciate his work ethic and his pride in his company. read more

We highly recommend WCD Masonry. Professional service plus high quality masonry skill. Owner William Dunn responded promptly to my request for an estimate to replace the cinderblock wall at the back of our property. Within a day he sent me a written bid that spelled out everything very clearly. The price was competitive. The work started on time and proceeded unabated despite uncharacteristically horrible weather conditions -- solid days of rain -- and despite the many challenges of the work site (a cramped and busy alley). William also devised an effective solution to a problem that arose during the permitting process -- one that satisfied the city while saving a mature tree we did not want to lose. Besides deftly managing all aspects of the project, William worked alongside his crew for the duration. The work was top quality. read more

Working with WCD Masonry was one of the best experiences I have had with a contractor. He was responsive, on-time, on-budget, and performed quality work building a masonry wall for my residence. From bid to completion, he took about 2.5 weeks to build a 45 foot wall. He even added a nice touch by asking if he could put my kids names in the concrete. A job well done. Very pleased read more
