How do you paint a brick chimney?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-paint-brick-home-exteriors.htm">how to paint a brick chimney</a>, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.</p></div>

What does a mason do?

• <div><p>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:</p><ul><li><p>Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings</p></li><li><p>Freestanding stone or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-wall-cost.htm">brick walls</a></p></li><li><p>Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces</p></li><li><p>Cement block basement or crawl space walls</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What color should I paint my brick house?

• <div><p>There are tons of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-exterior-house-colors.htm">paint colors to choose from</a> for your brick house, but here are some great choices you should consider. Different shades of white can add a modern vibe. Instead of a bright white, try off-white or cream-white.</p><p>If you&rsquo;re not into the idea of a white house, then you might go the opposite route and go with a matte black tone. Black painted brick houses have their own contemporary aesthetic that might fit your vision.</p><p>Additionally, some great <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/barndominium-exterior-paint-colors.htm">barndominium colors</a> include gray, blue, and sage green.</p></div>

Q: Can you use bleach on brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.</p></div>

Q: Can you build a pizza oven with normal bricks?

• <div><p>You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven&rsquo;s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven. </p></div>

Stone floor install was shoddy and had to be demolished and replaced by another company. They failed to get a permit as required. Showing up to work was very unpredictable and drawn out. Cost me a lot of money due to shoddy work.

Down to Earth was the low bid on this project. And unfortunately I am left the outcomes of the lowest bid. The retaining wall appears strong enough but the finished product and outcome was far below what I had expected. Several months after the wall was completed the earth behind the wall began...

I thought they did excellent work. They were punctual. They consulted whenever they had a question. Stone work is an art so they did a very nice job. It looks very nice and works well. We will be using them again.

This was an overall decent experience. I was not happy with the circumstances as to why I had to call them for the repairs, because of the gravel delivery problem. They did make it as pleasant as possible, and I feel that they did not overcharge us. They were very courteous and friendly.

This was a very terrible experience with this company. They knocked over our carport with one of their trucks, and then they refused to pay for the damage. I fought tooth and nail over this problem, and eventually they refunded 1 load of gravel, which didn't even cover half the cost to repair...
