"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.
After tuckpointing is complete.

"The four support pillars on our porch were wood. They constantly needed painting. Gilberto Masonry redid them in stone. The result was stunning, we are very happy with how they look. While many home porches have the supports bricked. Stone adds a very unique look. I highly Recommend Gilberto Masonry."

"I started with 3 free estimates after doing reviews from Angie's Lists companies, Perma Seal, U.S. Waterproofing and then this company Atlas Restoration LLC. Perma Seal came in over $2500 more than anyone. They wouldn't fix my concrete slab/s issues on the outside (which is where the water was originating from a big crack to begin with. They also wanted to rip out 3 more stairs to extend their drain tile system farther out in the back outside stairwell along with the footing area ( I understood why but realized later did not need that extra cost or precaution done - the footing area was enough). U.S. Waterproofing would do all the same work as Atlas but also would still not fix the main outside issue of the concrete slab/s. They were still higher than Atlas by about $1500. Finally Atlas did everything everyone else bid (we didn't need to do the 3 stairs, just the footing) and they were the only ones that included the concrete slab/s to fix them, they just advised they could not warranty the work and I was fine with that (at this rate I was looking to have to jackhammer and re do myself, because to have any masonry come out and do would be more in labor than materials and they would be hand mixing bags anyways. This is one of the main reasons I went with Atlas, also that the remainder of the work was all under warranty.
Everyone in the office is very nice, and Lori worked with me on everything. They are very thorough. They were not bothered by my many questions (and if they were they didn't make it known). On job day I was a little shocked by the young crew and even 1 new rookie on his first day, but after hearing John their foreman go right into a pre start meeting to get everyone on board and start day one on schedule I was not worried. He is very professional and kept the crew working at all times. Even though they were young they were very hard workers and were being taught and followed well by John and his associate Matt. John and Matt worked and communicated very well between them and with the others, and at any point John was unsure of a job being performed and/or by whom it was being performed he was sure to have it started or all done by himself. Mostly some of the younger guys are doing the grunt work, but their job is what kept Matt and John being able to do the site work so well and effeciently. Nice job guys! Chewie was their masonry guy and he did excellent work. I'm a hands on  DIY'er myself and they were not bothered by my watching or asking questions. I asked to be shown or told what was being done before doing it and they had no problem with that either. The one thing I was really grateful for was when John and I had to brainstorm a work around due to a sewer line issue which affected the footing drain tile that was really important for me to have in front of the door, along with the regular sewer drain. We finally came up with extending up the drain about a 1/2" -1" higher and then it worked. I'm glad John can think outside the box and that he just wasn't another job site worker to say "Sorry Mam this is how it is going to have to be due to your drain height." This made me really happy! Thanks John.
Each day they were ontime and professional. On the last day Will (I think was their supervisor?) came onsite and reviewed their work and left, the guys finished up and cleaned up and I'm a happy customer. Now we just have to wait for the next " HEAVY" rain to see if this all works. (I believe it will). I would recommend to at least have this company included as a free estimate in any of your waterproofing/foundation jobs. Oh, they also gave my Mom and Dad a senior discount and we used our Angie's List coupon that they advertise on Angie's List. That alone saved me another $700. Thanks again!"

"We are totally satisfied with the professionalism, skill, work ethic and overall attention to detail provided by Hector Martinez and his extremely capable crew. This is a contractor you can trust. They completed the job timely once they had started. Prices are fair. Our emphasis was on the quality of the materials and workmanship rather than the cheapest contractor we could find, as value is important to us. We feel this concrete will endure for many years to come. We plan to hire Hector again for additional masonry projects."

"Ran the sprinkler in my front lawn, over the weekend of 22 June. Went down in my basement on Sunday, and found a river running through my basement. After determining that it was not a water pipe problem, the only thing it could be was a foundation crack. Called  Permaseal on Monday, the 25th, and they had a representative, Jim Burlison, at the house on Wednesday.
Jim was very friendly, and examined the entire foundation, not just where the water was infiltrating. He did find a crack in the foundation wall, and we also observed water coming in around one of the glass block windows. The inspection was very thorough, and Jim was very knowledgeable about what the possible causes and the many solutions that they could do. He recommended epoxy injection of the crack in the foundation wall. He also recommended that I try and repair the masonry around the glass block window myself (with some mortar repair or roofing mastic), and see how that would work (Looks good so far!). A solution through Permaseal would have involved digging a sump pit and installing drain tile, which would have been very costly.
Since our schedule was very hectic, we could not schedule the repair work until 14 July. The technician arrived promptly on time, at the early end of the time window. I do not recall his name...he was only in the house for about an hour! He was friendly and professional. The work took about an hour to perform, and the area was cleaned up very well after the work was completed. Due to the nature of the epoxy injection, the area doesn't look that pretty, but it is in a closet where we don't really see the wall anyway. However, we were informed that it could be painted to match the surroundings.
Overall, Permaseal was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable about the work they do, and I would not hesitate to call them again for any work we may need in the future. "

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can cut patio stones with a circular saw. Similar to using an electric grinder, you will need to use a diamond blade as this is the most effective blade for cutting a material like stone. The stone must be wet when using a circular saw to ensure the cut is smooth.

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

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.

Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) recommends placing a mailbox 6 inches to 8 inches back from the curb. If your lot is unusual, speak with town authorities or the local post office to determine the correct placement.
