"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."

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 questions, answered by experts

The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3 each.

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

You can purchase from many brick manufacturers and distributors via their websites, where you can also get estimates based on the quantity you need. You’ll find bricks at your local home improvement stores as well, though they won’t have as much of a variety to choose from. As for antique bricks, secondary selling websites like eBay can be a great resource.

You can use adhesive strips to hang lights on brick—just make sure you get outdoor mounting tape and not just any old double-sided tape for your project.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.
