"I want to tell everyone about New Age Masonry. I found them on Home Advisor. I had 5 estimates given to me for tuckpointing. New Age was the last one. He was not the highest and he was not the lowest but I felt the genuine honesty and passion for the job. Oliver is a very hard worker and a perfectionist of his craft. His assistant Memo is also a very hard worker and they both provide great attention to detail. After they did the tuckpointing which included repairing my crumbling chimney, I decided to have Oliver install accent brick on the front of my home. It was something I always wanted- the quote was reasonable and the craftsmanship and valuing of my input was superior! Well, I could not be happier- It is BEAUTIFUL!!!! People and neighbors come by and want to know who did such beautiful work! I highly recommend New Age Masonry! It was a joy to work with Oliver and Memo. Thank you Home Advisor!"

"Scott Chaffee and his team did great work on my brick fence. He was prompt and communicative throughout the process. While I did not solicit a ton of bids for this particular job, Scott's quote was dramatically lower than the other bid I got (less than half). The work was just completed this week and it looks great. I will happily hire Scott again the next time I need masonry work done."

"I worked with Dan of Zandstra Masonry on a brick mailbox project and he was professional throughout the entire project. The work was outstanding and most of our neighbors are considering doing the same thing. Fairly priced and completed within promised time frame. There was some confusion on payment terms, but Dan resolved it immediately. High integrity! Would use again for any masonry project."

"Miguel promptly returned my call, came to my house, and gave me an estimate. I accepted his estimate and he and Daniel came out the next day and completed the job to my satisfaction. Miguel is a very good brick mason and replaced the shoulders on both sides of my chimney."

"I would recommend 5 Star Concrete & Construction for remodeling services. My project required a full basement remodel. Interior work included: demolition, excavation, waterproofing with drain tile systems, foundation repair, plumbing with sump pump systems, heating/cooling system, water heater system, electrical, full bathroom and kitchen installation, framing and insulation, drywall, and installation of windows and doors. Exterior work included: concrete sidewalks, gutters, privacy fencing, siding, windows and doors. I had three different estimates and 5 Star Concrete & Construction competed with pricing. 5 Star Concrete & Construction represented professionalism from the very start. I appreciated Gibran's explanation and knowledge in describing the multiple projects we had into a smooth experience. 5 Star Concrete & Construction provided a written statement of work including timelines and optional work. Communication is very important to me and 5 Star Concrete & Construction exceeded this from start to finish providing answers to all my inquiries and questions with the multiple project stages. 5 Star Concrete & Construction's crew displayed extreme professionalism daily: showing up on time, communicating very well, and were very diligent in cleaning up after their work. Everything looks fantastic! I am extremely satisfied with 5 Star Concrete & Construction's job well done. I will use them again for my next project and certainly recommend them."

"Joel did the estimate, and he was perfectly courteous and thorough. He looked at both issues we knew about, and pointed out things we could do ourselves that we had missed. On the day of the repair, the employee they sent was early, polite, and quick. He took time to show me what he had done and explain the method when he was finished, and our foundation is looking great. Would recommend!"

"I could not be happier with the finished product. Julio & his father really took pride in their work, and their attention to detail was amazing. They even fixed a crooked fence post (that needed to be moved to get their equipment into our back yard)! I have already recommended them to my brother, and will continue to recommend Sierra Construction & Concrete to anyone looking for concrete work!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

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.

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.

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.
