"Our house has some water damage issue in the first floor and basement. The company sent Landon to our house. He is very kind, smart and knowledgeable person. He inspected the house and honestly explained that he did not see any house foundation issues. The water leaking issues were caused by pipe broken. He said "If you house has any foundation issues, please contact us". We will definitely use them for any foundation related repair jobs in the future."

"From start to finish LJIA masonry was first rate. They came and discussed what needed to be done, provided a detailed quote and kept us up to date on starting times and what they needed from us to have the materials needed. The crew arrived on time (a little early actually) started promptly, worked efficiently and could not have been more courteous and respectful of our property. The attention to detail was exemplary. When finished, the crew went above and beyond in the clean up. Highly recommended."

"Every time my husband or myself called BR he answered the phone. If his guys were coming later, he let us know. If they weren't coming at all, he would let us know. If we were concerned about something, he said he would fix it. Nothing rattled him. He kept us informed during the entire process. I can not praise this company and the people that work for them enough. It was one of the most enjoyable construction experiences I have ever had. I hope I will have another project and be able to use them again. Pure Joy!"

"We had a fantastic experience with Concrete Solutions of Atlanta. Our project was unique because we wanted our driveway to double as a pickleball court, so we had very specific requirements for layout, joints, smoothness, and finish quality. Their entire team listened carefully and implemented everything exactly as requested. They paid incredible attention to detail and never rushed the process — even delaying the pour when heavy rain was forecast to ensure the job was done right. Communication was excellent, craftsmanship was outstanding, and it was obvious they truly cared about quality. They were not the cheapest quote we received, but they were absolutely worth it. I highly recommend Concrete Solutions of Atlanta for anyone wanting high-quality concrete work, especially custom projects."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Brick can increase the value of your home depending on the type of masonry materials used. Homes generally have a higher resale value when they have brick siding, and brick is also easier to maintain (and lasts longer) than other types of siding, which can motivate buyers to make an offer.

Just keep in mind, however, that although brick can up the asking price when you sell your house, the cost to brick a house is also more expensive than other typical siding costs—so you’ll invest more in the project.

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.

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.

Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.
