"I highly recommend WCD Masonry for the outstanding work they did at my home. I hired them to rebuild my retaining wall, and I could not be happier with the finished result. From beginning to end, they were punctual, professional, dependable, and respectful of my property. They took great care with the work, and the craftsmanship is evident in the finished wall. I also appreciated their honesty and fairness. They were straightforward about the work that needed to be done and charged a fair price. If you are looking for high-quality masonry work from professionals who are skilled, reliable, honest, and fairly priced, then absolutely give WCD Masonry a call."

"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!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"We met with about 10 contractors before choosing Mike for the job. Mike was vary professional, knowledgeable and listen closely to our needs. Mike explained clearly how the work would play out and job went well from start to finish. His team were prompt and hard working. Mike was accommodating when we wanted to add other masonry items after the work began. All the work finished on time even with the few added items. His price was vary competitive and we would recommend him highly."

"This was the second project I had Foundation Works help me with. As the first time, this was one of the best contracting experiences in my memory.  I cannot speak  highly enough of the company. I rarely go to this type of language in recommending a company but they do deserve it. Highly recommend."

All the guys respected my property and left so clean you can't they were here. I highly recommend Alpha Structural for any foundation work you may need"

"Our front yard needed some structure. Gadi helped design and build two entry pillars in stone masonry, plus a new walkway to the door. The old path was narrow and cracked, and the new one is wide and fits the property better. The pillars gave us a real entrance feel. They also ran low-voltage lights inside the pillars so they light-up at night. It's not flashy, just clean and sharp. The stone matches the front steps, and everything feels like it belongs now. Gadi and his crew kept things simple and stuck to our request. Would work with them again."

"The work went smoothly and well.  Their crew works well together.  Since most of this type of improvement work needs to happen in a specific order I was curious how it was going to go.  Conrad was able to get the materials delivered to the jobsite effectively -- the tree was planted before the sod, for example.  The sprinklers were installed before the top soil, etc.   There was minimal downtime while waiting for the "next phase" of the work.  
Their work transformed the yard from trashy to lovely and usable!  It is gorgeous and easy to maintain.  We are so pleased to have our yard pretty and available for dinners and gatherings in the upcoming warm months.  We would highly recommend Del Mar Landscaping to anyone who needs help with their yard!

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. 

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

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.
