"I hired Alex Masonry to remove and rebuild a retaining wall that was leaning. After some discussion, I decided to expand the project to include new bluestone caps and to re-do my cracked concrete walkway with pavers. Alex and his crew did an outstanding job. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with. His pricing is very reasonable. He and his team did a great job. Hard workers, with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Alex Masonry!"

"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!"

"They are the best contractors we have ever worked with. Their work is of unparalleled quality. Mr. Ademi, the owner, studied for 7 years in Italy under a master stone mason, and he has taken it to a higher level. I fully expect the work he did to last a century. He uses the best materials and does his work with great pride. He and his team showed up promptly. I am delighted. Go to his website for pictures: [*** Link removed ***]"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

Masonry is an umbrella term that involves adhering individual building materials together using an adhesive, so many different things are considered masonry. These include constructing stone or brick walls or facades, installing stucco siding, installing backsplashes or tile floors, and even installing glass block windows, in some cases. Masonry materials include natural stone, clay bricks, concrete bricks, glass blocks, and tiles.

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.
