"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!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Initially, the project was removal of an old rotting wood timber retaining wall in the back yard and replacement with an engineered concrete block wall. This entailed removal of 12+ existing trees, saving/building around "keeper"trees plus clearing and regrading back lot. I was so impressed with the quality of work and professionalism of Joe and his team that I decided to have them also do the same basic job on the front yard wall. The front was more complicated due to more extreme slope "three terraces" the need to work around a 80 year old Oak tree and the curved design of the wall. I am extremely pleased with the results Joe and his team delivered. They are very creative, hard working craftsmen who take great pride in their work. The name of the company begins with "Artistic" which is very appropriate because they are truly "Artists""

"Excellent! We are very pleased with the completed project. The workers were professional and friendly. They were very knowledgeable and offered suggestions regarding a drainage issue we had. We no longer have a drainage problem. They showed up on time, they’re hard workers, and they made sure we were happy with the job before departing. We highly recommend Alberto Landscaping and would use them again."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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 should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.

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 cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.
