"James M and Eric R helped us with everything they could but we just couldn't get it in our budget. These two gentlemen helped us out and I appreciate it but if I come to a point where i can fit this project in on my budget I'd definitely call DaBella. Thank you guys for EVERYTHING you guys did."

"Kenny did a great job of ordering our materials and making changes a** needed. He met all his time commitments. He did a good job of communicating the status of the project. He left the area clean when done. Both of his helpers were very personable and did a great job. I will recommend New Frontier Fencing to my neighbors and friends."

"We recently had our roof replaced by Idaho Heritage Roofing, and I can't say enough good things about the experience. From the first phone call to the final inspection, everything was handled professionally and with real care. Dakota and his team were upfront about costs, timelines, and materials. They showed up exactly when they said they would and kept the work area clean every day ? which we really appreciated with kids and pets around. What really stood out was the attention to detail. They didn?t cut corners, and they even caught a couple of small issues from a previous install that they fixed without us even asking. That kind of pride in workmanship is rare these days. Our new roof looks great and gives us peace of mind heading into the winter. I?d highly recommend Idaho Heritage Roofing to anyone looking for quality work from honest, local folks."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.

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.

The premise for painting a brick building is fairly simple: Prime the bricks to seal the surface and apply the top coat to protect your brick home. However, it’s easy to miss a few important steps if you’re starting from a raw brick surface and don’t know the basics of how to paint brick. So be sure to reach out to a local professional painter if you have any reservations about correctly painting your brick house.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

No, it’s not recommended to attach shutters to brick without drilling. Brick is dense and built to last, so adhesives and shortcut methods don’t usually cut it. Even heavy-duty glue struggles to hold up over time—especially against wind, moisture, and temperature changes. Most no-drill options are made for materials like vinyl or wood, not solid masonry. Skipping the drill might seem easier, but it puts your shutters—and anything below them—at risk. For a secure, lasting install, drilling is the way to go. It takes more effort up front, but the result is safer and more reliable.
