"I hired Cornerstone Masonry on short notice. He replied promptly and was in communication with me during our whole bidding phase, and willing to accommodate all of our needs. They were even willing to work over the Fourth of July while our business was closed to get the work done. He did an awesome job and cleaned up everything all in one day, which the project was a fairly big one, but he knew how important it was for us to keep our business running so we didn’t lose any money. I would highly recommend Cornerstone Masonry for any projects that you need done because they are very reliable and do what they say they’re going to do and do it very well! It’s hard to find companies any more that are reliable and show up, so we very much appreciated this company."

Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.
Choose from an abundance of natural and synthetic options when perfecting your hardscape design. Stone veneer costs a bit less, holds up against the tests of time and weather, and also works best in curves and complex walls.
Natural stone, however, provides an organic look to a lawn while providing just as much strength as veneer. Don't forget you can chat with your mason about other common wall materials like brick, cinderblock, and concrete.
You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.
Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.
They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.
