"Dave did an excellent job repairing the brick facade on our old 1930s home. He was professional, responsive, flexible with our timing, and the results were better than I expected. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of masonry work!"
"Davis Morris Concrete Construction did an excellent job on my 1,200+ sq ft concrete driveway and walkway. The crew was punctual and showed up early every day, stayed organized, and kept the site clean. David was extremely responsive, answered all my questions, and offered smart options when decisions came up. This project was a cleanup from a previous contractor’s poor prep work, and David stepped in and completed the job the right and professional way. Quality workmanship, clear communication, and attention to detail throughout. I’d confidently recommend David and his crew to anyone looking for reliable concrete work."
"We could not be happier with Advanced Pavers & Landscape! From the initial phone call all the way through the completion of our job, they were amazing and made sure everything was perfect. We got pavers, landscaping, and a pergola installed. The quality of workmanship was incredible. Working with Lacy was a dream, she helped us pick our colors and design for the pavers, and trees for the landscaping, and provided the best customer service. Caleb and the entire team were so professional, and we were impressed with how quickly they completed the work. We HIGHLY recommend them and would (are planning to) work with them again."

"D & L Landscaping is truly the best company we have ever hired to do work improvement for concrete and stone. First, they are all the most professional, kind, hardworking, men I have ever dealt with. First, they used a tractor to dig and make it perfect and level, then they poured the cement. The cement work they do is beautiful! They put stone in the side of it, also, which was equally beautiful! They came back and pressure washed the old driveway and made it look like new. All of my neighbors are calling to hire them! I have never had so many people ask for a business card for them! This company does top of the line work for extremely exceptional prices. They are all polite, kind, and on time! I am so grateful for Angi’s List. If it wasn’t for Angi’s, I wouldn’t have discovered this 5 star company D&L landscaping. So thank you D&L landscaping, and thank you to Angi’s List!"
"From quote to finish everything felt right about Western Concrete Designs. They accommodated us to come out for a quote and politely followed up without pressure! We immediately knew they were different! The quote beat the competition by a mile and after seeing the final project and how efficient and hardworking the team was—we still can’t believe our luck. Our backyard is more than we could have asked for—it is truly transformed -and gorgeous. We have recommended them to all our friends!"
Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength.
To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.
Dekton is worth the money for homeowners who want a nonporous countertop that resists heat, stains, water, scratches, and UV damage. It comes in a wide array of colors and patterns at various price points to suit different renovation budgets. Dekton is not worth the cost for homeowners who are particularly worried about chipping or cracking.
Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead.
You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.
