Customers say: Super punctual

"Evan (Halls Concrete) is punctual, affable, detail-oriented, efficient, and as a Subject Matter Expert; Evan has extremely talented skills. Evan gave me a very reasonable job bid, to lay my gravel driveway, and pour my 25 foot long x 15 foot wide x 4 inches thick storage shed concrete foundation. Evan explained every phase, and detail, of the projects' time-lines. I asked many questions. Evan answered my questions completely, which assured me my gravel driveway, and concrete foundation pour projects were being trusted to the right contractor. Evan emphasized that "No job is too small". He treated my backyard projects with professional passion, ingenuity, precision, and skill. A great looking gravel driveway, and concrete foundation, are the result produced by Halls Concrete."

"I needed a cement contractor to pour and finish the concrete on a zig-zag design wheelchair ramp. I had already done the excavation and built the adjacent block walls. Mike's team were doing a much bigger job on a house down the street, so I asked if they could fit in my small 2-day job. They gave me a fair estimate, showed up on the days agreed, understood what I wanted done, and did an excellent job with no delays or problems. I recommend them."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.

When it comes to how to paint a brick chimney, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.

Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.
