"Very happy with job completed. I had a old stone wall between me and my neighbor with a protrusion from an old tree that needed to be corrected. Fix It Masonry was able to do the job exactly how we asked and results look great. Very professional and courteous. And very flexible about schedule despite bad and unpredictable weather. Would definitely hire again in the future!"

"About a year ago we had our frame braced and bolted to the foundation (seismic retrofit) . The Foundation Works did a top notch job with a professional crew at every step. Their price was similar to other bids and they worked with us through the Earthquake Brace and Bolt program. They also stuck to their time lines. We were very happy with them, but here's the cherry on top. We had copper pipes installed recently. When the county inspector was out to inspect that job, he looked at the work under the house. He asked us who did our brace and bolt job. We told him and asked why. He said he could see that they did a really great job."

"My project was a 100' long, 7' tall concrete block wall. I met with both owners, not sumultaneously, but separately. Their communication was spot on, they were very friendly and knowledgeable. The work was completed in a very short period of time, the workers were extrememly capable and worked very hard to complete the project. I highly recommend them!"

"Thanks for the good job. Flagstone patio installed across 2,050 sq. ft., including pathways to garden beds. They leveled stones and ensured an even transition between levels. The layout has enough space for seating, walking, and dining while blending naturally with the landscape."

"I have been dreaming for a while now about new landscaping for my home! Josef with MVP Remodeling offered financing options to make that dream into a reality. I am so happy I found them! Josef was able to approve me on the spot to finance the project and started the work 3 days later! It took a week for the job to be done and I could not be happier!!!"

"Shay is the best. He is very knowledgeable about concrete and foundations. Very customer service oriented. He comes up with creative solutions for problems that people have. Heâ s also very honest and doesnâ t try to convince you to get something done that doesnâ t really need to be done. I had water intrusion in my front room that faces the front planter. He dug up all the plants in the planter, but saved the palm trees. He waterproofed the walls and then placed sloped concrete in the planter and holes in the planter wall to drain the water out when it arrived it rained hard. I highly recommend this company."

"G&L came out to hardscape our lawn, planter box and driveway. Mike met with us a few times and gave us designs and layout for planter (and some drought resistant plants that will continue to grow). We also had a few meetings with Dee to discuss the schedule, design, paving stone samples (from Angeles stone), and address drainage solutions for the synthetic lawn. Very accommodating to our schedule - holding off for 2 weeks while we were out of town. Once work started, Carlos and his did a quick and superb job with demo, clearing, pavers and turf. They were all super friendly and answered any and all questions we had during the process. We're happy with result(s) and would recommend!"

"David came to my house exactly on time. He brought with him 2 of his workers for the inspection as well. I expected that, no matter what, they'd find something wrong that needed costly fixing. But they were super honest and, after taking a look, told me that I only needed very minimal work and that overall my foundation was fine. Thank you David for your honesty!!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they’ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You’d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won’t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

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.

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.
