"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

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

Discoloration ondifferent types of brick can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss.

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.
