"Islas Masonry Solutions did an exceptional job. We needed a concrete walkway constructed immediately for my 87 year old mother. Franciso Jr. met us at my mother's home, he was on time and provided an estimate. He began the project on time, finished on time, cleared away and cleaned all debris from the yard and street. He was extremely professional and the concrete walkway is exceptional work. I highly recommend this company for any stone, brick, block or stucco work you may need. We have dealt with other contractors and Franciso treated us like family. If he you can make an 87 year old mother, grand-mother and great grandmother happy, you are the REAL deal. Excellent work and Exceptional Service!"

"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."

"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."

"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 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

The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

The premise for painting a brick building is fairly simple: Prime the bricks to seal the surface and apply the top coat to protect your brick home. However, it’s easy to miss a few important steps if you’re starting from a raw brick surface and don’t know the basics of how to paint brick. So be sure to reach out to a local professional painter if you have any reservations about correctly painting your brick house.

On average, a quality exterior brick stain can last between 10 and 20 years, and sometimes even longer. While it will look its best for a minimum of three to five years, its total lifespan depends on several factors. These include the quality and type of stain used, the condition of the brick, and the thoroughness of the surface preparation, such as proper cleaning. Following the manufacturer's application instructions and applying a sealant as a final step is also crucial. The stain's longevity can be affected by your location, climate, and the brick's exposure to harsh weather, high traffic, and other elements. Over time, the stain may begin to fade or look dingy due to weathering, erosion, dirt, and debris. Compared to paint, brick stain generally has a longer lifespan.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.
