"I've never written a review before this one, but I'm so happy with my experience I had to share. I had to do a complete remodel on our new home. This was so overwhelming dealing with the different contractors. I had my new neighbor recommend Paramount Masonry to do my tile work in both baths and kitchen. They were prompt in coming out to give me a quote for the job and were very good at their jobs. Highly professional, and knowledgeable. and so friendly. They gave me several different design options we weren't aware of within my price range, so I was able to choose the design I wanted and it looks amazing! The job wasn't very large but it was tedious. Great care was taken to get it all done to perfection and ahead of schedule (which was a bonus). I recommended them to a friend who is just as happy with they work as I am. #onehappycustomer"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Staining or painting brick isn’t something to do on a whim. Make sure you really want to live with stained brick, because once you apply the stain, it’s permanent. Sure, it will fade over time, but you can’t restore the brick to its natural tones after applying a stain or paint.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.

Natural stone is formed in deep layers of the Earth through natural processes over thousands of years. The solid composition formations become massive rock beds, or quarries, from which miners extract them.
