"If Don ever wants to stop busting concrete & digging for a living (but I hope he doesn't), he could go into business consulting on Customer Service. It's great that our basement stays dry for the first time since we moved in over 30 years ago, but what blew me away was how good he was at everything contractors aren't generally known for: *Responded immediately to request for quote. *Followed exactly when I asked him to (wanted to wait a couple of months to schedule). *Then when I was ready to start, called when he had an opening & started our project EARLY. *On site personally every day. *Started every day by telling me what they were going to do & asked if I had any questions. *Cleaned up site every day, then told me what they'd done, would do next day, & asked again if we had any questions. *His crew was very good & reflected his customer relations skills. Can't recommend him highly enough!"

"Devin and his team did an excellent job removing and replacing our sidewalk with a concrete wheelchair ramp. They were personable, timely, professional and extremely courteous. The concrete job is high quality. It is perfect! I cannot say enough great things about this company or the people!"

"We couldnâ t find anyone local to install a chimney, so went with Shamrock, who had a crew working locally, although they were based 2 hrs away. They came sooner than expected, did the job beautifully, and have been easy to contact with any questions we had. Very pleased with the whole project."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Initially, brick staining is not cheaper than painting. However, while it has a higher up-front cost, it may be more cost-effective in the long run. Brick stain can last for 20 years or longer, compared to paint, which usually starts to peel away in three to five years.

The exact cost of bricks depends on the type and size of the bricks you use for your project. Generally, standard clay bricks cost between $350 and $850 for a thousand bricks, or an average of $550. Brick veneer costs around the same for materials but is easier to install than solid bricks, so you’ll save on labor by choosing this option.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).
