Q: Can you use a power sander to clean mortar from bricks?

• <div><p>No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause. </p></div>

Q: Can it be dangerous to cut stone as a beginner?

• <div><p>Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you&rsquo;re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don&rsquo;t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.</p><p>However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.</p><p>To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.</p></div>

Q: How long does stone last?

• <div><p>Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.</p></div>

Q: Is brick spalling normal?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Can you repoint over old mortar?

• <div><p>You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.</p></div>

We were promptly greeted when we arrived. We advised that we wanted pedicures. They asked us to give them about 5-10 minutes to get the stations set up and while we waited to pick the colors we wanted. We were seated in the massage chairs and got to soak our feet. The gentlemen we had working on...
