"This Contractor is Licensed by the Contractors State License Board is in Good Standing. The Owner Tony and His Staff of Henry and Isidro all worked hard to replace the crown on my masonry chimney. Instead of just replacing the crown with mortar again they used steel and cement to install a larger and more solid crown. They also did additional work on the chimney to make it safer. They protected my gutters from damage while using their ladders along with tarps to protect my roof and the ground around the chimney. They also used a tarp where they were mixing the cement and took any dirty water with them instead of pouring on the ground. As a Retired Combination Building and Fire Inspector I can honestly said their an Excellent Company to use."

"Javier arrived promptly. My husband showed him the problem with our backyard low voltage landscape lighting. Javier conducted an inspection, and found that the electrical outlet that the lights were plugged into was no longer functional. He plugged the cord into another outlet, and everything now functions just fine! Thank you Javier and M&J Prime Builders!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

Europe is a continent made of many individual countries with a history of city life. In these cities, dirt roads were unsanitary and often shifted. The Ancient Romans started laying cobblestone streets in the 3rd century, which became an iconic feature of European cities. The durable and practical paving material proved to be extremely weather-resistant.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.
