We remain committed to the traditional values of client satisfaction that have earned a solid reputation in the masonry industry. Based on quality, time completion, excellent service, integrity and client satisfaction.

"VERY impressed with the work and overall professionalism of Coast to Coast. From the proposal/quote stage all the way through payment, everything was fully communicated, executed quickly, and delivered with the utmost attention to detail —probably 2-3 weeks from first contact to finished work. They fixed the tuck pointing on our very old, crumbling limestone foundation and installed 3 glass brick windows. Even rough areas I would've expected them to miss because I hadn't explicitly pointed them out were touched up. Would definitely use again in the future. THANKS"

"Tigele did an amazing job on replacing the tile for my bathroom and kitchen floor. I have an old house that was built in the 20s and remodeled by an owner / DIY'r in the 90s. Everyone of my home reno/repair projects comes complete with a set of tricky circumstances and surprises, and this one was no exception - uneven floors, poorly installed floor tiles, wacky plumbing and a poorly constructed new bathroom vanity. Tigele handled it all with perfection. They brought a large crew on day one and had all the demo in the full bath and kitchen completed in one day. They went above and beyond to straighten out floors, walls, electric and plumbing so that the job would be done correctly. And the tile job was phenomenal. I picked a tricky, thin porcelain tile for the bath and they made it work. Very pleased with the finished product. The work effort involved to do this right is no joke. Johann and his crew worked tirelessly to get things right. It's messy, loud and requires patience on all sides, but Johann and his team are true professionals. They do quality work, stand by their work and I will definitely work with them again."

"Pavestone Rockwall pecan bricks were purchased by our contractor. Home Depot loaded the pallet on his truck and he brought it to our yard. While unloading we noticed a third of the pallet was pecan. The rest appeared as cinderblock. When returned to Home Depot they were very cooperative in refunding. Home Depot told us this is a common problem with this product from Pavestone. When Pavestone is contacted the say they will correct the problem, but nothing is ever done. My contractor has contracted Pavestone here in Denver and was told a representative would come to check out our issue. Never seen anyone from Pavestone. They are totally unresponsive to paying customers requests. Arrogant and rude to disregard customers. Find other product if you can! We now have a partially built retaining wall and my contractor is searching Denver to find a pallet tgat even has a few pecan colored bricks! Pathetic customer service"

"Nolands Landscaping did a wondaful job regrading our yard. He worked with us to fit our budget and did a phenomenal job. Our yard used to flood with heavy rain and the water would stand and it would be soggy for weeks then tons of mosquitoes. He did a awesome job of directing the water so it goes to the drain in the back. No standing water anymore it drains and the yard is useable next day! Great resolution to our problem. Thank you."

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

New constructions need time to “settle” and sometimes, small hairline cracks occur as a result. Larger horizontal or “stair step” cracks, however, are usually a sign of a deeper, more severe issue. It could indicate an issue with the soil beneath the home, a problem caused by an overgrown tree, or another problem.

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.
