"My interaction with Jordan Gast (and later with the owner Jim Briley) was first rate. Jordan was very knowledgeable, thorough and helpful in designing a solution. He also allowed me to pester him at several later times with questions and concerns. The work done (with the company owner actually participating in the project) was absolutely first rate. They left the site having created a beautiful addition to the yard that I believe will provide the drainage relief that was needed. The owner actually spent several hours digging under a buried rock to ensure optimal drain pipe placement; it would have been very easy to just run the pipe over the top of the rock but he insisted on getting it right. I believe that Jordan and Jim are both honest and competent in their work. I would not recommend anyone but them for work of this nature. I stated NA on the pricing question because I got no other quotes with which to compare because I was completely satisfied about using this company after our first meeting. We are 100% satisfied with the results."

"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."

"William and Jaime discussed at great length the scope of the project before we decided to go with King. They provided different approaches to fix our leaking concrete block walled basement. While most other companies would not consider an outside repair solution, King offered to provide it after we decided that the cost of ripping apart our finished basement would be too expensive. We also wanted the concrete block wall to be fully waterproofed with tar, gravity drains the length of the foundation and an outer membrane to direct water down to the gravity drain. Most companies would not offer this type of solution and instead just want to do a one day sump pump drain system from the inside which we felt would not solve the dampness issue of the block foundation wall. We were shocked by the amount of manual labour required to dig up to 10 feet to the base of the foundation especially in areas where the backhoe could not access. No wonder most other companies would not go there. During the entire project, Jaime and William were leading the crew which was also very reassuring. We were also greatly impressed that they kept working exceptionally long hours even when some issues came up that required an extra 2-3 days of work. (they had to rebuild a section of the blockwall) They simply kept working until the entire job was done. We would definitely recommend King for foundation issues and drainage issues after our experience."

"James, Brandon, and Devon were courteous, professional, responsive, worked hard, and did a good job. I had wall anchors installed, and helical piers to brace my leaning chimney and one down-slope corner of my house. Also had separate crew, Logan, Noah, and Bernard, follow with waterproofing. They were similarly courteous, professional, responsive, worked hard, and did a good job. 3 days for part one, one day for part two. Hauled away debris, including excavated dirt, and cleaned up reasonably. Total cost almost $20k; with lifetime transferable warranty, 3-year service plan, and 0% one-year financing."

FAQs for masonry work projects in Nelson, GA

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.

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

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.
