"Scott and his crew did a great job replacing a rusted lintel and re-bricking a section of brick that had shifted on my home. They were courteous, professional and worked very quickly. Scott was a pleasure to work with and was always available to answer questions and was easy to get a hold of. Would definitively recommend!"

"Can't say enough good things about our experience with AAA-1 Masonry & Tuckpointing. We had two holding walls with brick that was deteriorating. They power washed to identify which bricks needed to be removed and swapped out those bricks with new ones. In addition they replaced the capstones on the two walls with larger capstones to provide the walls more protection from the elements. Everything was sealed and completed flawlessly. The crew was experienced and professional. Since the work was done this summer, our walls don't even get wet from rain! We are so grateful for the expert repair but also the guidance that replacing the capstones would provide more of a long term solution. Highly recommend these guys for your masonry needs."

"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."

"After meeting with salesperson Tony, it was determined that we had a couple of foundation cracks that needed sealing, and we could probably benefit from the installation of a drain tile system. However, I was reluctant to have torn up the finished portion of the basement. Tony suggested instead that we install a partial drain tile system in the unfinished part of the basement, as that was where our seepage problem was. Really appreciated the fact that I was not pressured into spending more time and money than was actually necessary -- a rarity these days. The entire staff -- from Amanda and Erica at the home office to the onsite crew and the owner himself, Austin, who came out the next day and waited an hour with me for a village inspector who never showed up -- was wonderful. The installers were punctual and uber tidy; when they were finished, you couldn't even tell that work had been performed. The next major storm will be the true test, of course, but I'm pretty confident are basement will be as dry as a bone."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

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.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It’s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You’ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.

A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.
