"We could not be happier with the stamped concrete walkway Mike and his team did for our new home construction. It was done in a week, with center plank pattern and a darker stamped stone border on a gently curving footpath. Highly recommend Mike for stamped concrete work."

"I called JES Foundation Company for a free inspection of my crawl space. I was concerned about a crack in my foundation wall. JES inspector Richard Sheman Showed up to inspect my foundation. He sent a text with the time of his arrival. He was pleasant and on time. He went into my crawlspace and inspected the crack in the wall and stated I had nothing to worry about. He was very knowledgeable about the foundation and itâ  s structure. He explain to me how I could fix the superficial settling crack and save a bunch of money. I appreciate the honesty of the business and I would recommend it to anyone who had the same concerns, and for any of their other services. Ron P Home owner."

"We hired Tim Smith @ Shorescapes to install patio pavers of our back porch. He said it would take 3 days to complete the job. It took him 6 half days to complete the job. There was supposed to be a sitting wall on a 16 x 16 area and an insert for our BBQ but when he applied for a permit they only allowed 12 x 16. Which kind of altered the plans. The pattern in the pavers were just randomly put down with odd and uneven cuts. It should have been a three-paver pattern throughout the entire patio. When he was done I wasnt home. My wife had just gotten home when they finished and really didnt have a chance to check it all out but she paid him the remainder of the balance. When I got home and saw the job I said she should have withheld payment because a lot of the pavers were uneven, the cuts were shotty, and one paver actually hung over the edge randomly. The polymer they used didn't even penetrate the spaces between the pavers as he got the wrong king with large pebbles in it...as his helper put it down he was right behind him blowing the polymer all around. I called him to come back and they reset the blocks that were sinking and recut the uneven pavers. And he did. I'm not confident that the crush and run was sufficiently packed down because the pavers are shifting again. The BBq area looks like crap, the pavers under it are slanted forward and the design is not right. The wall portion looks so undone. We called a few other contractors in afterward to see if they could fix it. They were like "Who did this job?" it's not done right. The pattern isn't done right and the pavers aren't level. We are getting new estimates to fix his mistakes."

"Penny from Millsboro These guys are awesome!!! They are excellent at their job. They dropped those tree limbs and tree perfectly, cleaned up the yard afterwards and you would never know they were even here. The whole place looks awesome they did an excellent job and for a reasonable price. They are better than the big named tree companies. If I knew how to submit a video and some pictures I have some... I still try to figure it out. ð ð"

"After using basement waterproofing specialist for my French drain installation I was so pleased with their service I called them again when I noticed signs of a possible foundation crack. They accurately identified the issue and determined I had a crack in my foundation. They thoroughly sealed the crack and put multiple layers of membrane to secure the foundation and to ensure no water ever gets through. I would highly recommend!"

"Mike (Cambria Constuction) and his men did an overall outstanding job replacing our patio in a difficult location on our property. HIs price to do the jib was right too. The only thing I wish they had done differently was to make sure the concrete did not stain the bottoms of our trim and siding. It was taped and plastic sheeting was in place but did not stay due to not enough tape a on a windy day. We would DEFINITELY hire Cambria Construction Services again!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.
