"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

Discoloration ondifferent types of brick can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss.

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.

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

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.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.
