"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."

"Atlas was the last of several companies to come and assess what was causing a crack in our family room wall and making our back door unusable because we couldn't open and close it without difficulty. We also had seepage in the basement. Other waterproofing and foundation companies had us digging up our basement and installing extra sump pumps and drain tiles. The foundation companies said we should install piers for prices ranging from $5,000 to $18,000. (We ended up hiring a plumbing company to replace a broken sewer pipe outside with a new one installed in the basement to address wall seepage, but a large wall crack remained that we needed to address.) Atlas was able to meet our hectic schedule and arrived on time to assess our problems. The engineer they sent out was the only one of the companies who listened carefully to what was happening to our house. He carefully measured the family room looking for slope. He carefully checked for other cracks in the remaining walls and ceiling in the family room to establish cracking patterns. He checked out our foundation in the family room, which is a slab over ground but also an empty space where stairs from the basement leading outdoors used to exist. He targeted that area because that's where the largest slope and cracks were located. He was able to report how much our family room was sinking after measuring the room. He said he believed because the foundation was constructed over an open space, moisture had been gathering for years and rotting the wood that was the base of the family room. I mentioned that white spots formed on the walls in winter, and he said that information most likely confirmed his theory. The engineer was at our house for about an hour. He asked for a few days to work up an estimate. We told him we were going on vacation, so he had more than two weeks to put the estimate together instead. As promised, shortly after we arrived home, the estimate arrived via email, along with drawings and a detailed explanation. The engineer returned to our home to go over everything with us, and we decided to sign a contract. Everything continued to move smoothly. Workers arrived promptly at an agreed upon date and time, and got to work immediately. They were walking the long way around to the work site, so I invited them to walk through the attached garage. They moved their materials into the garage, and when they left, they swept the garage cleaner than it was when they started. As they were about to leave, I pointed out that drywall repair was supposed to take place where the crack was in the wall. They checked the contract and acknowledged that was true and immediately went to the store to purchase the materials they needed. They apologized for the oversight and repaired the wall, again leaving the family room spotless. This work was completed before winter began, and I waited to write the review because I wanted to see if the white patches appeared on the wall again as the temperature dropped. The engineer said the white patches should not appear. So far, so good. We have had cold enough temperatures for the white patches to appear. Also, the back door works perfectly now. We also had them fill the crack in the basement wall since it had started to seep after 18 years of dormancy. They injected a product in the wall and covered the full-wall-length crack with another material. So far, nothing has leaked even during substantial rains. We feel Atlas is highly professional. The engineer is the only one who really listened to our house problems and spent time with us. We had multiple foundation and waterproofing companies come in, but Atlas was the only one who we felt wasn't trying to sell us a product over what was really necessary. Hopefully, we will not need their services again, but if we did, we would call immediately."

"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

Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won’t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace.

You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn’t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white.

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.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.
