"ACE Foundation Specialists were friendly, knowledgeable, and thoroughly assessed the work needed. They walked me through several options, listened to my concerns, and we settled on a plan of action and price. They showed up and did the work on time and at a price quoted, with no hidden costs. They promised to skim the sod and put the grass plugs back so it would not look like I had a drainpipe trench dug through my front yard. I was skeptical, but once they finished, all the grass blends in unless you go out and walk that area. I recommend ACE Foundation Specialists and will use them again for all my foundation issues."

"Ken Nummy and his crew were extremely courteous and professional in doing my concrete driveway repair work. A large tree root below the slab had caused extensive damage to almost 400 Sq. Ft. of the driveway. Competitive pricing and a one-day completion (demolition, pour and finish) we were promised and delivered as stated. I would give them a five-star rating with no hesitation, I truly feel the work was first class in all respects and would highly recommend K.C. Nummy Concrete for all the concrete work on anyones project, hands down. There are still old-fashioned reputable contractors out there, kind of restores ones faith in humanity."

"Parrot was so easy with which to work. They saved us a ton of money from a larger, chain type company. They also were able to get out and complete the work 3 weeks faster than they had originally anticipated. I would highly recommend them to anyone."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

Brick houses can last at least 100 years with minimal maintenance. With regular care and attention, including mortar repointing, brick houses can last 500 years or more.

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.
