"They did a good job from estimating the scope of work to completing it to our satisfaction. Not the cheapest guys around but the quality of their work is excellent. One minor blip was addressed immediately and appropriately by Mark, the owner."

"Axton Builders LLC did a professional job of repairing a masonry wall in our association. I think the overall job might have been a bit more than he estimated, but he stuck with his original quote. So, a professional job with little hassle. That's the best recommendation I can give any contractor."

"It went well beyond my expectations. We went with pavers rather than concrete. Joe gave us a good estimate. He stuck to the budget and the timeline. The work Joe did for us is a work of art. Beautiful. Pavers cost more than concrete but worth every penny."

"I utilized Pavers in Paradise on many projects. As head of an H.O.A. Alan and his team repaired pathways installed patio’s and Sidewalks. They also reinforced and expanded roadways. Alan on one occasion made an emergency repair on a collapsed driveway! (Not on his project). I’ve used Pavers in Paradise personally several times and recommend him to friends and family. Professional team of craftsmen, top quality results at a fair price. As far as customer service, when you do it right the first time you don’t need to come back."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.

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.
