Fifteen years ago my husband entered the concrete industry building high rise condominiums in Destin, FL. After we returned to central Alabama in 2005 he remained in the field of concrete but eventually transitioned into residential flatwork. This has included, but has not been limited to repairing/installing residential driveways, patios, and walkways (specializing in decorative concrete.) Decorative concrete projects are the perfect choice for River Region homeowners who have a vision of a more beautiful version of their home. Most of my career has been in the travel industry. But a few years ago I accepted a marketing position at a well known local concrete contractor; my husband was coincidentally employed by the same company. It was then that I fell in love with concrete, and we both had an epiphany...We could (and CERTAINLY SHOULD) deliver the same services with first rate craftsmanship, and charge only a fair price and NEVER take advantage of or exploit our clients.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

You can use a regular drill to make pilot holes for gutter brackets in the wooden fascia board around the top of your house, but it’s not the best tool for brick. Instead, you’ll need a heavy-duty power tool like a hammer drill with a carbide tip bit.

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

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.
