"I would highly recommend Sandstone Construction for masonry and cement work! They did a 10 foot repair on my driveway after it had to be dug up, they installed burgundy brisk bullnose the length of the property retaining wall, and did matching brick on my fire pit and seat wall. It came out fantastic! The crew was here on time, cleaned up each day, and did an incredible job! I am so pleased! I will definitely be using Kyle and Sandstone Construction again!"

"I had used Conrad's company in the past and knew he had good, experienced employees and that the work would be done properly.  This job from the beginning was going to be sizable and was to involve just the back yard and side yard areas with the patio flagstone work to be the biggest part of the job.  When I saw how good Gonzalo, one of the excellent masons Conrad used, I decided to enlarge the flagstone work to include the backyard sidewalk area done in the same style as the patio.  Conrad was able to give me a good price and we added that job to the project.  As the work progressed, I was able to see the quality of the work being done and I decided to included the front yard in the overall renovation and I did not regret my decision.  And once again Conrad gave me good, competitive pricing and it made my decision the expand the job easier.  I had many opportunities to see his employees at work and Phillip, working the irrigation and various plumbing jobs, was excellent and fantastic work was done by the brothers Gilbert and Able who worked long and hard, in the heat and on Saturdays to ensure I was pleased with the outcome of all the projects I had going at one time.  I changed plants and trees and locations, added flagstone for steps, adjusted irrigation lines and generally made several major changes to my original idea and never once did Conrad balk at giving me what I wanted. Conrad and his employees were always pleasant to be around, always answered my questions and showed me what they were doing or intended to do, all the time.  If I requested a special activiity or option I could be certain it would be done.  The finished landscaping is terrific and I'm very happy I had it done and happier even that Conrad was given the job.  I especially remember one email we exchanged near job's end when I made reference to a tree which to be changed out.  I don't know what I expected, but Conrad told me he would work to make me happy "until the end".  He did all of that and more.  Thank you , Conrad and Gilbert and Able and Phillip and Gonzalo and all the rest of the crew  who worked so hard giving me the yard I have wanted for decades.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.

The exact cost of bricks depends on the type and size of the bricks you use for your project. Generally, standard clay bricks cost between $350 and $850 for a thousand bricks, or an average of $550. Brick veneer costs around the same for materials but is easier to install than solid bricks, so you’ll save on labor by choosing this option.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

Not all cracks in brick indicate foundation problems. For instance, small hairline cracks can occur as a new construction settles. However, larger cracks are often a sign of a more severe issue. Indicators of a potential foundation problem include long horizontal cracks, "stair-step" cracks, vertical cracks that appear indoors, or any crack that widens at the top. Other signs of structural damage to look for are uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. These issues could be caused by problems with the soil beneath the home or an overgrown tree.
