"I hired Gregory to paint the exterior of my house, pour concrete, make a paver patio and install slate on front porch and back step. He did a good job on all. He is a nice person who works very hard. Shares his knowledge to help you make good decisions about your project. Highly recommend."

"M. Cooper poured a 700 square foot concrete slab/driveway in front of our house, including forms and rebar. The crew was professional, price was fair, and results were excellent. Mike remained on-site throughout the evolution, including returning for control joint cutting after the slab had hardened enough. Would definitely hire Mike again. Highly recommended!"

"I gave Victor Ocanas a general idea of the work I wanted to get done — Victor then worked with us on selection of materials and layout with the final product exceeding our expectations. All work was done well, with attention to detail and with high quality materials. Further, work was completed on-time and on-budget. I highly recommend Victor Ocanas and Grand Oaks Landscaping."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

Unless you’ve worked in the masonry industry before, it is in your best interest if you hire a pro for any masonry needs. Masonry-related jobs require a high skill level and can be extremely time-consuming. If anything goes wrong, a licensed and insured masonry contractor would be able to take care of the subsequent repairs, giving you additional peace of mind.

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 well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

Discoloration ondifferent types of brick can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss.
