"Jose and his crew did an amazing job on our paver patio, which was falling apart when we moved into our new home! Their rates are extremely competitive and they were so communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. They left our yard spotless and were happy to work with our schedules. I would 100% recommend Horses Masonry to anyone!"

"Glen and his team of professionals were amazing to work with. From the initial consult to finished project, Glen communicated well every step of the way. I have hired many contractors over the last 20 years and Glen was by far the most collaborative and professional person I have ever worked with. The decorative masonry wall looks amazing in our backyard. Glen went the extra mile to ensure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend Stony Mountain for any project, big or small. This guy does it right and does it with great customer service at an affordable price! Also, he finished the job 2 days before deadline! Awesome company!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

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.

Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.

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.

Unless you’ve worked in the masonry industry before, it is in your best interest if you hire a pro for any masonry needs. Masonry-related jobs require a high skill level and can be extremely time-consuming. If anything goes wrong, a licensed and insured masonry contractor would be able to take care of the subsequent repairs, giving you additional peace of mind.
