"Victor and his crew did fantastic! He worked with us very well and would verify everything right before planting the plants and flowers to make sure we were happy with the placement. He gave suggestions and lawn care advice without being overbearing and his calm and kind personality made him great to work with. Neighbors were keeping an eye out and liked our results so much that they asked for his card for help with their yards. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Victor and crew!"

"I had selected Granite Heroes given their proximity to me and the fact that they were slightly lower than another service I had called. The job was to restore my black marble tile lining the shower, half the bathroom walls and covering the entire floor after significant etching over the years from use of the incorrect cleaning products. The couple had told me that it would likely take them a good portion of the day and since I was home due to COVID I’d be here during the entire time period. They weren’t here long which intrigued me since I assumed maybe they were just efficient in 2 hours versus the 6 they estimated the job would take. I peeked into the bathroom to see that everything looked good from afar as it dried (couldn’t walk on the tile to take a better look). The next morning, I saw the detail of the hasty (not efficient) work done the day before. Don’t get me wrong, the tile looks much better than it did. Although anything applied to the surface would look better than the etching before. What was amiss in the process was an application of integrity. To do the job the right way with a sense of character as if it was your own. I was told they would clean the bathroom tiles after application. They did…sort of. Most of the tiles had a white paste splattered all over them that wasn’t coming off with marble approved cleaning solutions and a lot of elbow grease. This same paste was caked on my walls. So much so that I have rubbed the paint off to get it removed and now need to repaint the bathroom walls. The work was messy and incomplete at that. Numerous tiles are missing the polish and clearly visible with the whirl marks of a buffer while others shine with a finished glow. Running my hand along them you can feel sections of the tile that have no polish at all (a clear indication of a rushed job). My white tub has gray marks of who knows what on it that have been sealed over with their sealant and whatever I try to do, the gray mark has become a part of the tub facade which drives me nuts because it was white before they came in. Additionally, I’ve had to spend $200 in products from Marble Life in order to fix what Granite Heroes had neglected to do. I did contact the company and ask them to come back and correct the situation thinking maybe they would have a conscious of moral integrity and customer service mindedness. They replied by setting a date to address the issues and then never showed up, never responded back to me and left me to address the issues on my own. Again the tiles do look better compared to what they were (anything would) but the amount of hassle and clean up after the fact has left me to regret the decision to hire them in the first place. In the end it comes down to this: if you want the job done, call Granite Heroes. If you want the job well done, call anyone else."

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts

No, it’s not recommended to attach shutters to brick without drilling. Brick is dense and built to last, so adhesives and shortcut methods don’t usually cut it. Even heavy-duty glue struggles to hold up over time—especially against wind, moisture, and temperature changes. Most no-drill options are made for materials like vinyl or wood, not solid masonry. Skipping the drill might seem easier, but it puts your shutters—and anything below them—at risk. For a secure, lasting install, drilling is the way to go. It takes more effort up front, but the result is safer and more reliable.

A roller makes an excellent paint tool for brick. Using a roller can ensure the entire surface area gets painted evenly. If you choose a roller for painting brick, go for a thicker option, at least a half-inch. The key to using a roller while painting brick is making sure paint gets into the various crevices for even coverage.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

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.

Fireclay is a type of clay but it is a type of clay that, because of its chemical composition, can be fired at a much higher temperature than other clays. This results in a denser and more heat-resistant final material. Because of the high percentage of a mineral called kaolin, fireclay sinks are smoother and more durable than other clay types.
