"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

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.

Choose from an abundance of natural and synthetic options when perfecting your hardscape design. Stone veneer costs a bit less, holds up against the tests of time and weather, and also works best in curves and complex walls.

Natural stone, however, provides an organic look to a lawn while providing just as much strength as veneer. Don't forget you can chat with your mason about other common wall materials like brick, cinderblock, and concrete.

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.
