Q: Do you need a special sealant for brick pavers?

• <div><p>Yes, depending on the type of pavers you have, you may need a specific type of sealant. For example, concrete pavers will bond differently than clay pavers or faux stone pavers and will demand a different type of sealer. If you&rsquo;re unsure of the material and what type of sealant you need, you can contact the company that laid your pavers down for you.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth sealing brickwork?

• <div><p>Most of the time, you don&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: How long does stone last?

• <div><p>Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of stone houses?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/questions-ask-masonry-contractor.htm"> questions to ask a masonry contractor</a> is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material. </p></div>

Q: What type of drill is best for brick?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Stone Restoration Company never called and missed both appointments. I called them and they told me the 1st available appointment was 1 month away after missing the 1st two appointments. I'm stunned at the lack of professionalism. Also, the refund that I requested has still not been returned.

pressured washed our house and exterior stone walls to prepare for spring. They did a very good job and we have actually referred them since they did our work last year to a few friends of ours and happy to report they hired them and were happy with the service as well. Great company.

The hardscape around the pool was great. Basically, they cemented the existing flagstones instead of having patches of grass and dirt around the pool. If the work stopped there, I would give them an A. Then they removed the brown lawn on the side of the house, created a drip system for the...
