"So very impressed by the level of professionalism and incredible craftsmanship. Camilo really knows his trade and strives to to do quality work. I had a 35 yr. old flagstone pool surround with failing grout and lifted stones. He immediately knew how to repair it and the result is beautiful; excellent quality and value. You wonâ t be disappointed! He and his team left my property perfectly clean."

"We hired Pavers Express to give our backyard a makeover with a porcelain patio and artificial grass. From our initial consultation until the project was complete, their customer service was excellent and they helped to guide us in material selection to make sure our vision would be carried out. The team was professional, easy to communicate, and their installation process was very efficient. Highly recommend!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

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.

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.
