"We are thrilled with our beautiful new patio. Our backyard now feels like an Italian Piazza, with old world stone beautifully laid out. The speed and efficiency with which the project was completed was exceptional, and the price was very resaonable. If we ever need any masonry work done again, or have friends looking to have some work done at their house, we will be sure to recommend R &M Masonry."

"I found Arnold's Masonry by reading all of his amazing reviews! What a find! I would give him 10 stars if they were available. I had a vision of what I wanted for my sidewalk and upon the completion of the project, it was exactly what I wanted. Arnold and his crew were patient, kind and worked so hard. Arnold was at the site at all times. I am completely satisfied with his work and would hire him again if I need any further masonry work. He also has a wide variety of services other than masonry that I would also be interested in for future work. Do not hesitate to hire Arnold's Masonry for any of your home construction needs. You will not be disappointed!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right paint color for your brick house can be a daunting task. A great strategy is to find painted brick houses that you like and try to replicate the look by researching their colors or asking the homeowners for the specific paint color code.

If you're looking for specific ideas, several colors work well on brick. Different shades of white, such as off-white or cream-white, can create a modern, timeless, and classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. For a more contemporary aesthetic, you might consider a matte black tone. Other popular choices include gray, blue, and sage green.

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.

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.

Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.

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.
