"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."

"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."

"Excellent. Dennis, the inspector, called in advance to let me know when he would arrive, he reviewed installed systems and previous work, and inspected the property. I suspected that this would also be an opportunity for them to suggest additional work, which Dennis did, including purchasing future inspections, some work around the house foundation and injections to lift our sunken sidewalk and gaps under our concrete front porch. No purchase was made at the time, but I am considering some suggestions, which I found helpful. Dennis was very courteous, and observed necessary precautions during these COVID times."

Customers say: True professional

"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."

"Very professional from start to finish. We have an older home that has partial cinder block foundation. They were able to seal the problem areas and with recent heavy rainfalls, all dry! They sent me a video prior to the job to show us exactly how the process worked. Very happy and satisfied would definitely recommend Real Seal!"

"it went very well, technician call 30 minutes before their arrival, once they arrived they introduced themselves and got right to work. The inspection went well and the technician made sure to show me what they were seeing. After the inspection there was some work that needed to be done and was suggested. After seeing photographs and discussing with the technician, I choose to have some of the proposed work done. There was no pressure or hard sales pitch, just practical safety and maintenance issues. The work was able to be accomplished during the visit, and in addition an additional discount was provided. The technicians were knowledgeable, professional and did a nice job cleaning up after themselves. I will have them back to do a more thorough masonry inspection in the spring when there is not snow on the roof."

"A few days before the drain tile install a mason came and bricked in the window of the window well.  On the day of the install three men worked at our house.  One man spoke english, the others not so much.  The men removed a basement window to carry out the broken pieces of concrete.  They shut the door to the room in which the drain tile was installed to keep down the dust.  We had to remove tile prior to the install.  The men were able to drill within the space provided.  The install went smoothly.  The village inspector came during the install to approve the work and at the end to check to concrete.  We were approved.  We got the drain field extension out into our front year. We were told that the cover would be able to mowed over but now their are small rocks around the pop up cover.  Not a big deal but different than we expected.  Anything to keep water out of our basement.
US Waterproofing was a great company to work with.  We made the estimate appointment on line from their website. Chris came out to do the estimate. Seemed to know his stuff.  He was very responsive to our emails.  Nick was the project manager who came out before the install.  He too was very quick to respond to questions.  I would have liked him to stop in on the day of the install to check on things.  The men who did the install worked hard.  I wish we were told ahead of time that they needed to take out the basement window but it worked out.  The final village inspection found that the men had not sealed the exterior pipe to the house.  They returned within a few days to fix that oversite.    Overall we are pleased with the work of US Waterproofing.  I would recommend them to others.

"Eagle Crest is wonderful! They gave us a fair price for the work we wanted done, arrived when promised, completed the work, and cleaned up after themselves. They repaired our sidewalk and replaced a crumbing stairway with a new concrete one and added a beautiful wooden handrail. They were professional, friendly, and did a great job! They offer several services so we will definitely be using them for other project in the future. I have no hesitation in recommending them to family, friends and neighbors. This is a great company so do yourself a favor, look them up, and use them for your next project! Thank you, Eagle Crest, for the very professional work you did. I would upload pictures but I'm not good with doing some computer things."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.

Brick can increase the value of your home depending on the type of masonry materials used. Homes generally have a higher resale value when they have brick siding, and brick is also easier to maintain (and lasts longer) than other types of siding, which can motivate buyers to make an offer.

Just keep in mind, however, that although brick can up the asking price when you sell your house, the cost to brick a house is also more expensive than other typical siding costs—so you’ll invest more in the project.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.

Yes! Hot glue is an excellent—and temporary—way to spread holiday cheer with Christmas lights without damaging your brick exterior.
