"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"I would recommend them to anyone who needs masonry work done. They did a good job of grinding out the mortar and replacing a brick on my front steps. However, the job also included grouting around the top step where the concrete meets the siding and on the last step where it meets the sidewalk. They used white grout, which stood out like a sore thumb, and was too wide and very gloppy. When I told them about it, they said they would wash the steps down one day and come back the next, take the white out at the bottom and replace it with gray. But they did the washing and the grouted over the top of the white. Now, the gray grout was 1 1/2 inches wide in places. Looked terrible, and the white just looked worse and worse. Called again. They came out and took out the gray and white and put a clear grout. Looked better, so I asked them, to take out the white and put clear on the top step. They did, and it looks better than the white, but they should have done that in the first place. While the young men seemed to know masonry work, they definitely were not good at grouting. The steps look old now, from so much grinding, grouting, and work, and the top pad was just replaced 2 or 3 years ago. It looks much older. But I must say, they did come back and re-do when I was not happy. Just wish they had done it right the first time. Plus, I forgot to tell them, that they put their tools on my grass on those 90+ degree days. The front lawn has come back, but on the side, I have a patch where they killed all my grass. I think it must have been part of the coiled-up hose because there is a line from it to my hose and that was the day they washed my steps off."

"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!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Real stone is exactly what it sounds like: It’s real stone sourced from the earth without additives. It is durable and unique, but it’s difficult to work with because of its weight, challenge in sourcing, and high cost. Stone veneer mimics the look of real stone but is actually engineered with a mixture of Portland cement, natural minerals, and a colorant. While it’s more affordable and easier to work with, it’s less durable and may appear manufactured to the trained eye.

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

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.

You can purchase from many brick manufacturers and distributors via their websites, where you can also get estimates based on the quantity you need. You’ll find bricks at your local home improvement stores as well, though they won’t have as much of a variety to choose from. As for antique bricks, secondary selling websites like eBay can be a great resource.

You can use a regular drill to make pilot holes for gutter brackets in the wooden fascia board around the top of your house, but it’s not the best tool for brick. Instead, you’ll need a heavy-duty power tool like a hammer drill with a carbide tip bit.
