"I highly recommend Alpha Foundations. The first guy they sent out to evaluate the problem, Joseph Green, was extremely thorough and professional. He went above and beyond to make me happy. The two men who did the job, which was leveling two patios and filling in a gap between the house and the patios and repairing two substantial cracks, Cooper and Blake, did an amazing job. They were extremely thorough, making sure they addressed all issues and they did the job in a timely manner and cleaned up as if they were never there. I am 100 percent satisfied with all three men and I would highly recommend them and hire them again."

"Paver job when ok, no supervisor..mistakes, damage to existing landscape, delays. Pool - diamond bright and coping was a disaster. Sub was terrible, again lack of supervision, damaged brand new Pavers intalled, clogged brand new pipes and would owe up to the mistake. If you gonna hire this company get everything in writing. Ask to be listed as additional insured on their proof of insurance - general liability. If they damage your property you can make a claim with their insurance. Make sure proper supervision is on site at all times to insure quality and limit mistake...good luck!"

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.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

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.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.
