"Isaak from Elite Concrete, is a true professional. He was flexible with the start of my job, since I was having multiple projects completed back to back. Communication was easy and immediate. I had my driveway and a concrete ramp installed at my home. The whole process took 2 days total to complete. The crew were very hard working and respectful of my home and landscaping. I had one area of concern in the end, and Isaak came out immediately, and sent someone out within 24 hours to provide detailing. The work is amazing! If you are looking for a great concrete contractor, check out Elite Concrete!"

"I highly recommend Groundworks for foundation concerns. They were very prompt with returning my call and providing a free inspection. I had concerns for my 103 year old home, especially a section of the foundation. Their Inspector, Bob Bloom, arrived on time, was professional and experienced, took time to answer all my questions (thank you for not rushing), and provided me with useful feedback on my foundation and options for repair. Bob gave an honest assessment with no sales pressure. Although I decided to defer foundation work at this time, I will definitely use them in the future."

"This was basically a demolition project. I had to have a 75 year old concrete circular retaining wall buried in the center of my asphalt driveway that had to be removed so that we could plant an oak tree. The wall was approximately 25 feet in circumference, 4 feet high and the concrete at least 3 inches thick. The bottom foot and half of the wall was covered with earth that had to be dug out by hand. Jose accomplished this extremely difficult job in a day and a half working right along side his helpers. He was able break up and haul away the concrete and did a great job cleaning up the site. He is courteous, professional and his rates are extremely fair. I would definitely recommend him for any job."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.

Real stone is exactly what it sounds like: It’s real stone sourced from the earth without additives. It is durable and unique, but it’s difficult to work with because of its weight, challenge in sourcing, and high cost. Stone veneer mimics the look of real stone but is actually engineered with a mixture of Portland cement, natural minerals, and a colorant. While it’s more affordable and easier to work with, it’s less durable and may appear manufactured to the trained eye.
