"Service technicians showed up when they said they would and took 3 days for the installation. About 2 weeks prior to that Steve visited my house and went over options for installation and came up with a plan and price. The installers kept me engaged in the process and we made decisions for equipment and placement for every piece of hardware. Before they did any drilling, they had me look at the location and my approval first. The only technicians to work like that. Couldn't be happier."

"I had the company cut 3 trees down. Stumps were grounded down and they even grounded down 4 other stumps for me. The price was lower than the other 2 estimates I got. We meet at 9 am and hired them on the spot. From start to finish it took 6 hours, cut, hauled away and stumps grounded. They were prompt, courteous and very easy to work with. Excellent job!!!!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between $15 and $30 per linear foot. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing $25 to $50 per linear foot. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.
