"Adrian of Vargas Masonry and Roofing stopped by to provide an estimate for tuckpointing and chimney work on our historic Centennial Home. Adrian and Marie were prompt with a very competitive estimate which we accepted. They were both very receptive to addressing any questions or concerns we had prior to, during and for the final walkthrough. The crew performing the work very professional, very considerate to our property and provided us continuous updates as to the work being performed. The work performed consisted of tuckpointing two sides of the house along with chimney work and placing a cap on the two chimneys. As stated in a previous review, Vargas was honest, on time, and competitively priced! I'll continue to use Vargas Masonry and Roofing for the future work that I need on the interior brickwork and interior limestone foundation of our historic home."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Edwin and his team from KCB Masonry, and I must say, the experience was really good! From start to finish, they were professional and had a strong attention to detail. They were a pleasure to work with; very friendly, approachable, and mindful of the standards for repointing historic masonry. After multiple estimates from multiple companies, it was refreshing to have a company already knew about Type N pre-mixed mortar and have real experience in it use! Throughout the project, they maintained excellent communication and made sure that all my concerns and preferences were taken into account. One aspect that particularly stood out was the cleanliness of their work. I was pleasantly surprised by how meticulously they cleaned up after themselves, leaving my property and my neighbor's property spotless. It can be quite disheartening to see a messy construction site, but KCB Masonry exceeded my expectations in this regard. Did I mention that they arrived at their stated time andcompleted the project within the agreed-upon timeframe? Yep, they did! Office person Nicole made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. There was a bit of wait for the work to start but, it sas definitely worth it. I would encourage anyone seeking quality masonry work to consider KCB. If you're in need of reliable, skilled masonry professionals, look no further!"

"Needed a brick wall repaired that was damaged by a car. The brick could no longer be obtained so we decided to remove additional brick to reuse and add natural stone to make up some difference. Jordan provided professional services when many other contractors would not even bother to return calls or follow up with estimates. His pricing was very competitive and the work was done well and clean up was exceptional. I’ve already gotten a second quote for some additional work to be done in the future and I won’t bother looking anywhere else. I would definitely recommend Chief Construction for brick or stone work needed."

"Jaime and his crew did a great job constructing and installing the box. They worked very hard and cleaned up afterward. Jaime kept us informed as to the progress of the project. Would use them again for other projects in the future. Thank you fellas, Great job! The Joneses."

"We were very happy with their work. We had an older home with a foundation issue and they did such a wonderful job. They took a lot of care in making sure they did not disturb the rest of the house. Very nice guys to work with, cleaned up after themselves, very professional, and they were very hard workers."

"My request for a chimney tuck pointing bid was handled promptly, everything was clearly explained, and the bid was very reasonable. James arrived on the agreed upon start date. James is very personable, does excellent work, and we highly recommend Milburn Building Maintenance. As a matter of fact, we will be using MBM again for some driveway repair."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

You can hang holiday lights on brick without drilling by using hot glue, outdoor tape, or brick clips for your project. There are plenty of alternatives to consider, so consult a professional Christmas light installer to discuss the best options to preserve your brick exterior.

The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between $15 and $30 per linear foot. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing $25 to $50 per linear foot. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.

You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.

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 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.
