"We needed a path from the patio to the workshop on an uphill and rocky slope and a retaining wall in front between an existing walk- way and a steep slope. Luis and his crew gave us a beautiful curved walkway with wide, easily navigated steps. The front retaining wall blends seamlessly into the existing wall and walk way. The craftsmanship is unmistakable and the cost extremely reasonable. They were all professional, thoughtful and communicated work schedules and updates - all very much appreciated. We highly recommend this company and will certainly use them for our next project."

"There are not enough adjectives in the English language to describe the extraordinary expertise, professionalism, and perfection of the work done by Paramount Masonry, in addition to the incredible courtesy each of their professional staff displayed toward me. After contacting Paramount, I received a call from Lloyd Lewis who showed up right away at my home, made excellent recommendations, and gave me a fair and reasonable estimate to remove and re-install old brick under my picture window, and add brick in another area of my home to coordinate the look. His family of expert professionals started work within that very week, arrived early every morning, and worked non-stop all day long. The varying talents of each was amazing. They kept me notified of any issues, discovered and corrected unknown problem areas, and checked with me often to insure I was pleased with the progress. These wonderful men even went as far as to stop traffic on my very busy street to allow me to back down my long driveway and safely cross to the other side of the street to park my car when all their vehicles made by backing onto the roadway difficult. Their consideration and respect of my feelings was evident at all times. When their work was completed today, I was beyond thrilled and overwhelmed at the beauty and perfection of their work. Lloyd Lewis and his brotherhood of professionals should be in a Masonry Hall of Fame for excellence."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, it’s not recommended to attach shutters to brick without drilling. Brick is dense and built to last, so adhesives and shortcut methods don’t usually cut it. Even heavy-duty glue struggles to hold up over time—especially against wind, moisture, and temperature changes. Most no-drill options are made for materials like vinyl or wood, not solid masonry. Skipping the drill might seem easier, but it puts your shutters—and anything below them—at risk. For a secure, lasting install, drilling is the way to go. It takes more effort up front, but the result is safer and more reliable.

The best way to clean creosote from brick is to hire a professional chimney sweep. However, you can use a creosote log to remove excess buildup between cleanings. You can also clean minor creosote buildup using dish soap or vinegar mixed with water.

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.

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.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.
