"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

Yes. Black stains are more than an eyesore. Some black stains can pose health concerns, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Some stains can also damage the brick’s structural integrity, harming the mortar and resulting in more expensive repairs.

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

Stone veneer siding is approximately four times less expensive than stone because it's made of concrete and aggregates instead of natural stone. But veneer looks like real stone, is easier to install, and acts as a great, durable siding option. 

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.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.
