"We had a corner of our foundation that had dropped noticeably over two winters. The crew came out, walked us through exactly what was causing it - the clay soil shifting - and gave us a written estimate the same day. The repair wrapped up in two days and passed the Solano County inspection on the first visit. No surprises."
Marcus T., Vacaville - Foundation Repair
"The mortar on our chimney had been crumbling for a few years and we kept putting it off. After last winter's fog season, there was visible water staining inside near the fireplace. Dixon Concrete came out within three days of my call, tuckpointed the whole chimney, and replaced the cap. We used the fireplace that same fall."
Renee A., Dixon - Chimney Repair
"Our backyard slope had been slowly eating into the lawn for years. The retaining wall they built is solid - block wall on a proper footing. They explained each step of the process, cleaned up every day, and the job came in on the estimate they gave us before starting. Two seasons later and it has not moved."
David M., Fairfield - Retaining Wall Construction

Six things worth understanding before you hire anyone or ignore a crack for another season.
Concrete handles the 100-degree Dixon summers better than asphalt, which softens and deforms in sustained heat. For driveways and walkways in the Central Valley, concrete typically outlasts asphalt by a decade or more under comparable conditions.
Tule fog keeps Dixon rooftops and chimney surfaces damp for hours at a time, sometimes for days. Mortar or crown material with even small cracks absorbs that moisture, which then widens those cracks as temperatures drop overnight. Catching and sealing cracks before fog season starts each November is the most effective prevention.
Hairline cracks in drywall are common in older Dixon homes and usually harmless. The warning signs: diagonal cracks from window or door corners, cracks wider than a quarter inch, or cracks that keep growing. Multiple symptoms together - sticking doors, uneven floors, gaps at walls - are a stronger signal to call someone.
Cosmetic work like tuckpointing or cap replacement typically does not require a permit. Structural repairs - foundation piers, chimney rebuilds, load-bearing walls - require a permit through the City of Dixon Building Division. Permitted work is inspected and documented, which protects your home's value at resale.
Many Dixon homes built in the early 1900s near the historic downtown used soft, lime-based mortar designed to flex with the structure. Filling those joints with hard modern cement mortar creates a mismatch - the mortar becomes stronger than the brick, and stress goes into the wrong place, cracking the original bricks over time.
Dixon sits on Sacramento Valley clay soil that swells in wet winters and shrinks in dry summers. That repeated cycle puts stress on everything in contact with the ground - foundations, retaining walls, and concrete flatwork. For more, see the UC Davis California Soil Resource Lab.

Act when cracks are diagonal, wider than a quarter inch, or growing across seasons. Also act if you are seeing multiple symptoms together - cracks plus sticking doors or gaps at ceiling lines.
Small mortar failures let water in, which accelerates damage to the bricks themselves and to any wood framing behind the masonry. A $500 repoint job can become a $3,000 brick repair job if ignored through two wet seasons.
Check the finished joints up close. They should be packed tight with no gaps, flush with the brick face, and consistent in color. Mortar smeared across brick faces or joints that crumble within a year are signs of poor work.

Dixon is a community of roughly 21,000 residents in Solano County, sitting about 25 miles southwest of Sacramento along the I-80 corridor. It is a city where most people own their homes - about 60 percent of housing units are owner-occupied according to Census data - which means homeowners here have a real stake in keeping their properties maintained. From the historic homes near downtown Dixon on North First Street to the newer subdivisions on the north and east sides of town, we have worked on homes of nearly every era across the city.
Dixon has been an agricultural hub since the 1800s, and the open farmland surrounding the city shapes the conditions that affect local masonry. The Sacramento Valley clay soil swells and shrinks with every wet-dry cycle, putting ongoing stress on foundations, retaining walls, and concrete flatwork across the area. The annual Dixon May Fair, one of the oldest county fairs in California, is as much a sign of how deeply rooted this community is as it is an annual event. Homeowners in Dixon tend to invest in their properties because they plan to stay.
We understand the climate here. Dixon summers push above 100 degrees and bake exterior masonry for months. Winters bring tule fog that keeps chimney caps and mortar joints damp for days. The seasonal swing between those two extremes is one of the main reasons masonry needs regular attention in the Sacramento Valley. For local weather conditions and forecasts that affect project timing, the National Weather Service Sacramento office is a reliable reference. Dixon Concrete & Masonry has been working in this climate and on these soils since 2017, and we schedule and execute jobs with that local knowledge built in.
