"Alpha foundations was amazing. Charles Tatem was outstanding at helping us find a way to fix our foundation issue and fitting our budget as well. We came up with multiple options together on how to raise the foundation and we booked. It only tool 2 weeks to get on their schedule. The day before they called to let us know when they'd be there and they were right on time. Mike Oliver and his team came out, they knew exactly what they were doing. They were very professional and organized. His team worked together like a fine oiled machine. I was very comfortable with Alpha foundations from start to finish."

"The concrete was removed and pavers were put in less than 3 days. They look great. Workers showed up early and worked constantly. They were very polite and answered any questions I had about the process. I knew exactly what to expect each day as the leader not only talked to me in person, but kept in touch via text."

"I recently purchased a commercial building in need of some foundation repairs and was referred to Shore Up Foundation by a family friend. Chase, Adlai and their crew were professional, courteous and educated me throughout the correction and improvement process to resolve my issues. We ran into some unrelated foundation issues on my job, but I was impressed with the amount of experience and exceptional awareness they took to help quickly resolve the problem. I would highly recommend Shore Up; I appreciate the professionalism and time they took during this intensive repair."

"James did a great job on the repairs of the brick Pilar at our local cemetery. We would highly recommend him to anyone needing masonry work. He?s polite, does very clean work, he was quick to respond to my request for service and is extremely affordable. Very professional. I wish I could upload the before and after pics to show the great job he did but apparently they are to large."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

Initially, brick staining is not cheaper than painting. However, while it has a higher up-front cost, it may be more cost-effective in the long run. Brick stain can last for 20 years or longer, compared to paint, which usually starts to peel away in three to five years.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

Solid brick structures can last a century or more, potentially 100 to 150 years with proper maintenance like tuckpointing. Without major repairs, classic red bricks may last 20 to 40 years. Brick veneer siding is also a long-lasting material, with a lifespan ranging from 50 to 100 years, provided it is properly installed and maintained. To maintain brick veneer, you should scrub it annually with a special detergent and a soft-bristled broom. It's also important to inspect the bricks and mortar regularly and hire a masonry contractor for any necessary repairs, such as fixing worn mortar or bowing bricks.

A chimney cleaning brick or log can help loosen creosote between professional chimney cleaning appointments. Although they can help keep your chimney cleaner, they are not a substitute for chimney sweeping and are not meant to be used regularly.
