"Maria was very responsive during our initial conversation and our estimate walkthrough. She listened carefully and was very understanding about the level of detail I wanted for our residential post-construction cleaning. Her pricing was extremely fair, and the job was worth every penny! I was encouraged to check things out before Maria and her crew left on cleaning day, and when I asked about one item in the bathroom, Maria herself was more than willing to take additional time and effort to make it look better than it has in years. :) I will absolutely be contacting Polar Masonry after our next construction project!!

"Tony and his company removed old tile from our fireplace surround, then added new split faced stone to the fireplace and wall above the mantle. We are very happy with the quality of his work! The project was done exactly as I envisioned. I recommend TGA Masonry without reservation!"

"We hired Kelly to do two jobs, one large, one small. The big one was the repair of a flagstone patio that was poorly installed by someone else. The patio now looks beautiful! Kelly prides himself on doing great work at a reasonable price. He exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you Kelly!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

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.
