"Jose Garcia, the owner of JRG Masonry, did an excellent job on repairing my brick wall and planter box. He is very professional and is an expert at doing his job. He has over 30 years experience in the masonry business. Jose is very honest and came right over to my home on the day that I called him to give me a quote of how much this project would cost me. Since he has so much experience in his field, he knew that the bricks in my wall and planter were no longer manufactured. Because my bricks have a pattern on them, that cannot be replaced, Jose figured out how he could reuse some of the bricks that were hidden from sight and replace them with a similar brick. Since Jose is so professional, he re-enforced the parts of the wall that he repaired even though the people who built the original wall had not supported it the proper way. Jose started and finished repairing my wall and planter on the day after I called him. With his experience in brick work, he finished the job in less than 5 hours. It was a job that I thought would take more than a day. When he left, he had cleaned everything up and my wall and planter looked fantastic. O. P. Johnson Huntington Beach, CA"

"It went amazing. Robert came out and did a free quote and was on the job 2 days later. We had work done by the wrong people and Robert and his crew came out and fixed what the other company did wrong and completed the job in only a couple days. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing hardscape, masonry work done. If we have any issues with past work we have had done or plan any upgrades in the future I will call Alpin Masonry to do the job, so that I know it will be done right."

"I contacted Sam from Chiseled Stone Masonry to repair my privacy wall. It was an emergency because my dog and the neighbors dog broke out a few of the blocks and one dog was badly bitten. Sam contacted me immediately, asked for photos and scheduled a premise visit right away. The repair was scheduled for the following Saturday, but my neighbor refused to give his consent so I had to cancel. So, technically I haven't had the work done, he was amazing and I plan to use him once my neighbor comes to his senses. Therefore, I still gave him a 5 star rating because I have faith."

"Conrad and his team at Del Mar Landscaping are great. His guys are very respectful and do excellent work at a fair price. They made sure they finished the job during a very uncertain time (Coronavirus pandemic), which is much appreciated and also made sure they cleaned up everything when they were done. Second time I've used them. Highly recommended."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.

Mortar is a mixture of sand and cement that binds materials, such as bricks, stones, and concrete blocks, together. Think of it as the glue that fills in the gaps between bricks and stones, then seals them in place to prevent damage or deterioration. Mortar also helps spread the load across a wall or structure, keeping cracks and shifting at bay.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.
