"Another outstanding job by Olsen. We requested and received a proposal last fall for work to be done. Proposal was easy to understand, covered all work wanted and provided on very timely basis. Early spring they delivered brick samples for our approval and began work a few days later. Work was preformed very quickly, very professionally and of the best quality. They thoroughly cleaned up each day and after completion. We strongly recommend Olsen to everyone needing masonry work. Another satisfied customer, again."
Before tuckpointing – note the cracked and missing mortar and stone.

"My experience with 83 Masonry was EXCELLENT! We hired them to tuck-point and partially rebuild our two chimneys. They started the project on time and showed up everyday ahead of time. We have new roof and AC, so before they started any work, they have protected the roof and build protection canopy over the AC to make sure nothing would get damaged. Very professional, knowledgeable, punctual and safe. Not only were the chimneys fixed, they improved the look of the house. We are EXTREMELY happy with the craftsmanship and we would recommend them for any type of masonry work."

"Our project was a complicated front stair system that included nine stairs, a landing and a retaining wall. Gilberto Masonry removed a dilapidated wooden stair system and built an amazing brick and stone stairway and 4-level retaining wall with lights. The workmanship was professional and Gilberto and his crew worked with us on the entire project (making adjustments as necessary) to ensure our satisfaction of the end result. Gilberto is a man of integrity and stands by his word. We absolutely love the stairway and wall. It transformed the front of our home. Would highly recommend him and will certainly use him in the future."

"We got stuck wth a lemon of a foundation repair job that the previous owners of the home had done in 2014. We bought the home almost a year later in 2015. Atlas corrected every mistake that the previous owners' company made. It was a pricy job, yes. But this is proof that you get what you pay for. The previous owners went cheap. Water proofing companies are a dime a dozen, they are NOT all structural companies. Atlas is the real deal when it comes to structural issues that lead to water penetration into the home. If you're getting water from the walls, make sure you have a professional structural inspector or contractor take a look first. Obviously the home inspector didn't catch anything out of the ordinary prior to our purchase, otherwise we would've never have bought the home. Only through chance did we discover the extent of structural damage to our home."

"My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Real Seal in July 2024. They fixed a bowing foundation and waterproofed the basement for future finishing. Their team was prompt, respectful, organized and thoroughly educated us on the drainage tile system, installation process and prevention. Thank you, Real Seal for being the flawless first step to our dream basement/family space!"

"J D Mathein was an absolute delight to work with. He was, and has been, responsive to every question and came up with a design that reflected our needs and wishes. The results are spectacular and have enhanced the look and value of our home. The crew of gardeners who prepared and installed the plantings and hardscape were also top notch. We were consulted for accuracy of placement before anything went into the ground. We installed about 80 new trees, shrubs and perennial plants as well as paving stones. J D gave us very specific care instructions and followed up with answers to questions immediately. We will continue to use Green City Gardens for any additions we make to the gardens going forward. Couldn’t be happier."

"The foundation of our house is 100+ years old and made of large stone blocks.  As such, it has developed some cracks to the point that with heavy rains, we were getting consistent seepage into our basement.  With this type of a foundation, only external waterproofing is an option.  ULB-Dry came an gave a quote that while a substantial amount of money, was a good value given the amount of work involved.  In particular, the excavation was difficult as it is in a gangway between our house and the neighbors, preventing any mechanical digging.  The entire excavation was done manually, with the dirt and sediment carried out by hand to a trailer parked in the street.  The ground was not easy to dig, as it was all clay soil.  Stoyan and the ULB-Dry team put in a LOT of work to get the foundation dug out (60 liner feet and 2-3 feet deep and wide).  This work alone was worth the money.  They then did all the waterproofing work (patching cracks, sealing, membrane, drain tile, etc.).  They were also able to accommodate a last-minute request to install foam core insulation.  The drain tile was routed to an existing sump pump.  However, it was discovered that the pit was not deep enough to accommodate the pitch of the pipe.  Stoyan and team dug out the pit to the required depth and made all the connections - a lot of additional and unexpected work.  After everything was completed, they manually carried back all the dirt and soil to backfill the excavated area. 
We have now had the new drain tile and waterproofing in place for 2 months, and have had some fair amounts of rain during this time.  Most recently, 2-3 inches of rain fell overnight and  flooded the alley behind our garage.  However, we have not had any water or seepage in the basement.  Had ULB-Dry not done the waterproofing, this would not have been the case.  All the work and cost was worth it for the peace of mind we now have.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. 

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.

Brick stain doesn’t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That’s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.

Landscape boulders, especially porous stones like sandstone or granite, can crack or break over time. Cracks occur when water seeps into the surface of the stone and freezes. The risk is highest when it rains during the day and temperatures freeze overnight since the moisture has time to penetrate deeper into the rock before expanding.

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.
