"Dave did an excellent job repairing the brick facade on our old 1930s home. He was professional, responsive, flexible with our timing, and the results were better than I expected. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of masonry work!"
"Davis Morris Concrete Construction did an excellent job on my 1,200+ sq ft concrete driveway and walkway. The crew was punctual and showed up early every day, stayed organized, and kept the site clean. David was extremely responsive, answered all my questions, and offered smart options when decisions came up. This project was a cleanup from a previous contractor’s poor prep work, and David stepped in and completed the job the right and professional way. Quality workmanship, clear communication, and attention to detail throughout. I’d confidently recommend David and his crew to anyone looking for reliable concrete work."
"Very easy to work with. The team did and outstanding job - quick, efficient and left the area pristine when the project was completed. I had been looking for someone to help with a small front yard patio and stucco wall for years to no avail. Once I spoke with Advanced Pavers it was a go! The outcome is exactly as I had envisioned and I am extremely pleased!"

Ignacio and Anthony does phenomenal work and were always very easy to work with. Every person that came to work on our project was respectful and kind.

"I was wanting a brick strip in the driveway, but Daniel suggested that I do a stone paver instead and I’m glad I did. He came out in a timely manner and quoted me a fair price. I couldn’t even meet them at the residence. We communicated all through phone calls and text. The finished project looks great. I will be using them again in the future for other projects."
"From quote to finish everything felt right about Western Concrete Designs. They accommodated us to come out for a quote and politely followed up without pressure! We immediately knew they were different! The quote beat the competition by a mile and after seeing the final project and how efficient and hardworking the team was—we still can’t believe our luck. Our backyard is more than we could have asked for—it is truly transformed -and gorgeous. We have recommended them to all our friends!"
Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.
Yes, you can enlarge windows in a brick house. Your masonry contractor will need to cut away exterior brick to make space for the larger window, and you may also need to consult a structural engineer to make sure the window is properly supported inside the frame of the house.
Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.
Yes! Hot glue is an excellent—and temporary—way to spread holiday cheer with Christmas lights without damaging your brick exterior.
Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.
