"My mom had a deck built about 10 years ago off the back of her garage area that connected to a larger deck via steps and a concrete walkway. Unfortunately, the original deck steps had dry rot and collapsed. Mr. Rigo provided a fast and fair estimate to rebuild the deck and steps, also salvaging and reusing the parts that were trex material. Within a week of meeting him and agreeing to a price, he and his crew disassembled, rebuilt the foundational structure and steps, and reassembled the deck. They did a beautiful job. They also installed and painted lattice to keep critters out from making homes under both decks. Attached are photos during and after the rebuild. Rigo also fixed some smaller items in the house for my mom. She is very pleased with his work and has commented about how professional, organized, tidy, prompt, and kind he has been throughout the process. We would definitely call him again if or when we have more projects."

"From the first conversation with R & J Concrete I knew we were in good hands for our concrete project. Communication was great. Arrived each work day on time. No unnecessary delays other than wet weather. The pad, foundation and footings were all done exactly to the building plan. I have been working with contractors for over 35 years. They are one of the best I have worked with."

"Make sure you ask questions. After getting a clear understandable explanation of why and what they were doing, I felt I was getting my money's worth. They were a bit pricey. Workers were prompt, courteous and were careful of our property."

Customers say: Quick response

"We had a brick building from the 1910s where the bricks were deteriorating. In addition, another building next to ours was demolished and this created another dimension of repair on one side. When they arrived they worked quickly and provided great work with a very professional approach. We can't say enough good things to express our satisfaction."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.
