"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"

"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."

"Francisco gave me a very competitive quote on a cinder block wall extension. His guys showed up on time and finished quickly. They had to deal with a tree trunk and did a great job. I'd hire again gladly."

"Robert poured the slab for my backyard workshop with precision and a level of care I have never seen from a concrete guy. He was the only one I contacted who answered my initial phone call, and he was on top of things from the start. The other companies I called only took messages, and never called back (I had to call and bug them). Most never quoted! His quote was prompt and completely reasonable. From first contact to completion was just a few days, even though he had a serious family issue to contend with. I have a very good and trusted concrete guy now, whom I know I can rely on!"

"The crew did a great job. It took a week to finish due to some rain. The price was fair, as I compared it to several other contractors. They were not the lowest ones, but definitely not the highest ones. Roger was always available over the phone. The crew and leader, Juan, were very professional and courteous. I'd recommend them for sure."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.

Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.
