"I was looking for someone to repair the grout on our flagstone patio. Anthony called us quickly to set up a time for him to see the job. He came over and looked at the job and let us know what he thought would be the best way to repair it. We got his bid with in a couple of days. We were very impressed by his knowledge and his price. He did a great job taking out the old grout and putting the new grout to match the rest of the patio. I would definitely recommend him. It’s nice to see someone who takes pride in their job! Thank you Anthony"

"I had taken 5 bids to replace our natural grass backyard with synthetic grass as it was becoming difficult to maintain the natural grass and it was taking a lot of water. Oscar was prompt to come and set up time he provided several suggestions like adding paver lights in the design which will look very nice without significantly increasing the cost. He also looked at the backyard doors and recommended that we replace them and provided several suggestions on metal doors with automatic wifi controlled locks. Then he provided a written estimate and I got 4 additional bids for the same scope. He wasn't the cheapest but he was most thorough in his estimates. The workmanship was very good as well. His crew was professional, came on time and ensured the work is done to my satisfaction. I will use him again for any of my landscaping needs."

"This was an usual project. It was redoing a mini bar. Hard to find a contractor that would do it or had the time. Homepro was great lead by project manager Shir Hadad. Jumped right in there and took it on and got the job done. Really appreciate their professionalism."

"Jorge of JP Build LLC was outstanding to work with. Understood my request and asked pertinent questions to ensure the job was done correctly. They were prompt in everything they did. Communication was outstanding! He took the time to text, call, send photos and video of the job when he completed. We live in Idaho and trusted his company to complete the job in CA for my elderly mom. We highly recommend JP Build LLC and will not hesitate to use them again."

"The pro underbid the job. Still, he said he would take the loss. I asked him to look at receipts and we covered the extra materials. In the end the job was still lower than the other bids and accomplished on time. We replaced a failed TREX deck with concrete. The plastic decking had become soft, and flexed enough when walking on it that it became a trip hazard. There were two experienced and hard working crew. the younger relative was learning the paperwork, bidding and scheduling end of the job. The crew let him learn by experience and did not complain about his mistakes. The job was expertly done. Recent rains show that there are no low spots and everything is almost imperceptivity sloped to drain the surfaces into areas I had identified. All the work was done on time and all the demolition materials were stack out of the way and job site clean up was done daily. I am truly a satisfied customer."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.

Choosing the right paint color for your brick house can be a daunting task. A great strategy is to find painted brick houses that you like and try to replicate the look by researching their colors or asking the homeowners for the specific paint color code.

If you're looking for specific ideas, several colors work well on brick. Different shades of white, such as off-white or cream-white, can create a modern, timeless, and classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. For a more contemporary aesthetic, you might consider a matte black tone. Other popular choices include gray, blue, and sage green.
