"We had stair-step cracks running up our block wall and were worried it was something serious. The crew came out, explained exactly what was happening with the soil, and had the foundation repair done in two days. It has been through two rainy seasons now with no new cracking."
Maria T., Golden Gate - Foundation repair
"After the last hurricane season, we noticed the chimney cap was gone and the mortar at the top was crumbling. They came out within the week, showed us photos of everything from the roof, and had it sealed and rebuilt before December. The fireplace finally works the way it should."
James R., Naples - Chimney repair
"Our block fence along the back of the yard had been getting that white chalky buildup for years. They ground out all the joints, matched the mortar color, and the whole fence looks new. The job was done in a day and they cleaned up completely before they left."
Sandra K., North Naples - Tuckpointing

In colder climates, freeze-thaw cycles break down mortar. In Southwest Florida, it is relentless moisture and heat. High humidity keeps masonry surfaces damp, and the rainy season drives water into every small gap. The result is faster mortar breakdown, especially on west- and south-facing walls.
That diagonal crack running along the mortar joints is a classic sign of differential settlement - one section of the foundation has dropped while another has not. In Collier County, sandy soil and seasonal water-table changes are the usual cause. It rarely fixes itself and usually gets worse through each wet season.
Late fall through early spring - roughly November through April - is the ideal window. Mortar needs dry, moderate conditions to cure properly, and jobs done before the wet season are fully set before summer storms arrive. Most local contractors book up fast in this window, so early scheduling helps.
Most Golden Gate homes are built with concrete block - called CBS or CMU construction. These blocks require a different mortar hardness than older clay brick. Using mortar that is too hard causes the block faces to chip and crack. Matching the mortar to the substrate is one of the most important quality markers in any masonry repair.
Wind-driven rain is far more penetrating than normal rainfall - it forces water into gaps that regular rain would miss. After any tropical storm, it is worth checking chimney caps, block fence tops, and mortar joints on exposed walls. FEMA publishes guidance on protecting structures from storm-driven water intrusion that is useful reading for any Southwest Florida homeowner.
Much of Collier County sits near sea level, and the water table can be very close to the surface after heavy rain. That means any crack or gap in a foundation wall or stem wall is also an entry point for groundwater. Efflorescence - the white chalky residue on block surfaces - is a common early sign that water is moving through the masonry.

We hold an active Florida state contractor license issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, which you can verify at any time through the state's online licensing database.

When it is widening, running diagonally, or showing up in multiple places on the same wall - especially after the wet season. A crack that reappears after being patched is the clearest signal that something underneath is still moving.
Pavers handle the expansion and contraction of Florida's daily temperature swings better than poured concrete, which is more prone to cracking over time. Individual pavers can also be replaced without redoing the whole surface if damage occurs.
Structural work - foundation piers, retaining walls, and block wall installation - typically requires a Collier County permit. Cosmetic repairs like tuckpointing or replacing a few bricks usually do not. The Florida Building Commission publishes the current code requirements that apply to residential masonry work statewide.

Golden Gate is a census-designated place in Collier County about 8 miles northeast of Naples. Originally laid out as a planned community in the 1960s by the Gulf American Land Corporation, it is now home to roughly 25,000 residents packed into about 4 square miles - one of the denser communities in this part of Southwest Florida. Collier County, not an independent city government, handles local services including permits, roads, and building inspections for the area.
Many of the homes here were built between the 1960s and 1980s to the construction standards of that era. After 40 to 60 years, concrete block foundations, block fences, driveways, and exterior masonry surfaces in this community are due for repairs or updates. Golden Gate sits on flat, low-lying land crossed by a canal system built by the USGS-documented drainage network to manage the area's naturally poor drainage. That same flat terrain and sandy soil means foundations and below-grade walls in this community are under ongoing pressure from a water table that rises close to the surface every wet season. Main roads like Golden Gate Parkway and Santa Barbara Boulevard run through the community, and we work on properties throughout the neighborhood - whether you are on a quiet residential street or along one of the main corridors.
Golden Gate sits on the eastern edge of developed Collier County, with the Everglades and Everglades National Park just to the east. That location means this community gets the full force of Southwest Florida weather - long hot summers, near-daily afternoon thunderstorms from June through September, occasional tropical storms, and a rainy season that puts real pressure on masonry, concrete, and block structures every year. Golden Gate Concrete & Masonry has worked in this community since 2017 and understands exactly what the local conditions demand from masonry work done here.
