"It went very well, the whole project completed in one day and they cleaned everything up. What I especially liked is that they paid as much attention to the smaller aspects of the job as they did to the major ones. Their price was very fair compared to other bids I had gotten And they were very polite. I would highly recommend them for concrete work."

"It turned out really well. They did a great job. Responsiveness was pretty good. They were on time and they called ahead, which was nice. What stood out to me was the ability to be able to get in contact with the owner. He is also a designer as well, a landscape designer. He gave a lot of good ideas for some projects that we might do in the future."

"We had a bathroom renovation on the first floor completed by Kimberlin Construction. We were quite happy with the process of working with the owner, Gary, and his team from start to finish. They were reliable, professional and friendly. Gary was honest and fair in pricing. The work required making sure our heated floors did not get damaged, and Gary and his team were creative in developing a solution to protect our floors. The team was efficient in completing high-quality work."

"This was the second roof repair I’ve had Accredited Roofing take care of, and once again they did a great job. They showed up early, got the repair done quickly, and made the whole process easy. Steve was very friendly, helpful, and informative, and he always responded right away whenever I had a question. After using them twice now, I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing roof work."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.

The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To remove efflorescence stains, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.

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.

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.

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength.
