"Erinn was my initial contact and he gave a very through and fair estimate. We had structural work done to support floor joists and large beams under the garage that needed replacing. Ernesto and his team, Julio, Salvatore and Gilder worked tirelessly to complete the work and were respectful, punctual, informative and good humoured throughout the entire process. I would not hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. A really great company!!"

"I highly recommend Etan Home Construction. We needed a large concrete slab on the side of our home and needed some trees removed as well. Edward from Etan Home Construction was great to work with. I had 3 companies come out and give me estimations and Edward's estimation was not only fair, but I had a good feeling about him. He seemed honest and reliable, which proofed to be true. He came out with his crew a week later, removed the trees, leveled the area completely, finished the job on time and did a marvelous job. Concrete looks great. What is also nice is that Edward is easy to reach. Picks up his phone, is on time, replies to emails. Great man to work with."

"We hired Mike twice 5 yrs apart, and have never been happier with the work and relationship, Mike’s bids were always competitive, work performed on schedule, he always showed up on time and personally supervised the jobs. Mike was easy to communicate with and his crew was knowledgeable and competent. Cleanup was done daily and the results were terrific. We’d highly recommend Freitag Construction to anyone."

"My experience with Cornejo Landscaping was fantastic. I wanted to remodel my patio with pavers and it turned out amazing. My husband and I are so pleased with the work that we also asked Cristian to spruce up our backyard by trimming overgrown trees and power washing our stamped concrete pool deck, courtyard and walkways. Cristian is skilled, experienced, reliable, honest and easy to talk to. He was always responsive to our questions or any concerns we had along the way. We will definitely call him again for our next project and will be recommending Cornejo Landscaping to all our friends, family and neighbors."

"Amazingly, it was 90 feet of fencing. He did it piece by piece and even reinforced the bottom so that no "critters" could enter our patio. All was done in 2 days, and he even did a few little touch-up things with the landscape. we are considering having him do a stone wall at the property line shortly. We are very happy with his work"

"The crew did a great job. It took a week to finish due to some rain. The price was fair, as I compared it to several other contractors. They were not the lowest ones, but definitely not the highest ones. Roger was always available over the phone. The crew and leader, Juan, were very professional and courteous. I'd recommend them for sure."

"I hired Dalinghaus Construction to install two push Piers for a freestanding column/wall (bad clay soil causing movement). I meet with Kevin to go over the scope of work and he explained everything in detail. The price was the best I can find. Took one extra day to finish the work, but they did not charge me any additional fees. 3 month later, I had a feeling that the column/wall is moving again and call Kevin. He show up in a few days and show me there is no way that wall is still moving and he was right. They are very good at what they do and customer service is the best. Thank you very much."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.

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.

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.

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.
