"I called Phipps Masonry about a quote; they were extremely friendly on the phone and Chris came out the next day. We needed a lot of stucco repair on the outside of our home, Chris quoted a reasonable price and did the job right then. He answered all my questions and did great work-we are very satisfied. I would highly recommend."

"We hired Creation & Renovation to create a patio in our backyard. Marcia responded to our request quickly and kept up updated every step of the way. Fabian and his crew were fantastic and created a patio that was beyond expectation. My wife loves the work that was done. Fabian is one of the nicest people that we've met and he made sure that we were completely satisfied with the work and cleanup afterward. We certainly would hire and recommend Creation & Renovation for any work in the future."

"They came and tried to raise the sidewalk slab and make it even with the slab next to it. No matter how they tried the slab wouldn't move. They tried for the longest time, but with no luck. They advised would return the next morning and fix my problem. Early the next morning they returned with a special cement saw and made a cut. When they pumped more material in the sidewalk slab raised. However a little to much and they had too raise the slab adjacent so it would be even. It ended up  both slabs now  are raised a bit and now looks like we have a small bridge. Even with that, there is not a chance anymore that someone could trip on the sidewalk.
The crew that came out was excellent. They cleaned any mess made in the grass and sidewalk. Couldn't be any happier with them. They kept me informed on every step that was happening. We'd use LRE again, and would recommend them too family and friends.
There office employees are also great. When they said, " I'll call you right back," they did. All questions were answered. I was not charged and more than the original estimate, even though more work was done to correct problem.
The only reason I gave the quality a "B" is because of the bridging in the cement slabs.
"
The homeowner's driveway had endured years of wear and tear, resulting in discoloration and numerous cracks across the surface. Additionally, the concrete slabs had become uneven due to the soil settling beneath them.
Due to soil settlement and poorly placed control joints, the customer's driveway had significant cracking. You can see that some stains have formed, indicating that the concrete lacks sealant protection.
The homeowner knew that their home's addition had experienced settlement damage when vertical cracks appeared on the exterior walls.
The homeowner became alarmed when they noticed stair-step cracking patterns emerging from the window frame in the exterior wall of the home.
Upon noticing significant cracks developing in the walls, the homeowner became concerned about their foundation's condition.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe.
