"I couldn’t be happier with the work this masonry company did. From the very beginning, they were professional, punctual, and took the time to explain the entire process. Their attention to detail and craftsmanship really show in the finished project. They kept the work area clean, completed everything on schedule, and exceeded my expectations."

"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."

"Outstanding professionalism, excellent artisan skill, highly ingenious. The days that rained they just stood a tent and continued working. Very diligent, thorough even in cleaning up. Their pride of work, teamwork skills and positive attitude are the type that you find in MBA textbooks and yet the team without such formation exemplified the skill sets. Very happy with the patio. I receive many complements from neighbors."

"From the initial contact to the final payment, the representative was always friendly and courteous. They repaired all the areas that had begun to break down (original stonework done in 1990) and added a sealant to hopefully will give added protection going forward. All the workers were professional and did a through job protecting the surrounding areas as well as doing a complete cleanup afterwards."

"Jair and his team were simply amazing. I hired VM Southern Construction to put down brick over an existing concrete covered patio. After receiving multiple bids, it was a clear choice. I knew immediately when he arrived at my home. It was apparent he had it together, knew what he was doing, listened, gave advice, and was just generally a good guy. Instinct! And it paid off. He/crew showed up on-time/when they said they would. The quality of work is AMAZING. My wife and I commented on how much better the patio looks than the brick work on the house itself - and the house is brand new. The crew took their time to do it right. They are good at their craft! And they cleaned up perfectly when they were done. I 1000% will be hiring them again for additional projects. No question!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Choosing the right paint color for your brick house can be a daunting task. A great strategy is to find painted brick houses that you like and try to replicate the look by researching their colors or asking the homeowners for the specific paint color code.

If you're looking for specific ideas, several colors work well on brick. Different shades of white, such as off-white or cream-white, can create a modern, timeless, and classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. For a more contemporary aesthetic, you might consider a matte black tone. Other popular choices include gray, blue, and sage green.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

Initially, brick staining is not cheaper than painting. However, while it has a higher up-front cost, it may be more cost-effective in the long run. Brick stain can last for 20 years or longer, compared to paint, which usually starts to peel away in three to five years.

The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To remove efflorescence stains, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.

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.
