"I was very impressed with Atlas. The team was prompt, hard working, and quick. I expected that digging holes for 5 piers would make quite a mess. However, they had it down to a science -- Plastic sheets to protect the ground and then cover the excavated dirt so it didn't blow around or get muddy when it rained. Noise was minimal - much less than I thought it would be. They were done in 3 days, and cleaned up so well, you could hardly tell that anything had been done."

"My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Real Seal in July 2024. They fixed a bowing foundation and waterproofed the basement for future finishing. Their team was prompt, respectful, organized and thoroughly educated us on the drainage tile system, installation process and prevention. Thank you, Real Seal for being the flawless first step to our dream basement/family space!"

"Hardrock Inc. Francisco & His Father did an absolute great job. They went the extra mile to check border pavers we had seen in the area as well as even visit the sites which we had seen in adjacent towns to try and match the look we were trying to achieve. They worked through a rain storm during the demolition phase of the project, they didn't damage the work site in any significant manner. My driveway concrete had settle at least 6-8 inches near my garage area and in front of my stoop, Francisco said we can build up that area. In fact the original builder didn't place adequate basing so he had underestimated by 1/2 the material cost, but told me; my error and would only charge 1/2 the extra basing material needed to complete the job. They cleaned up and any small detail, like small part of sod grass was damaged, they replaced with new as well as finished work on the mailbox on a Sunday so we could be good to go before the mail showed up on Monday, because they promised. Best Contractor experience I've had, and I have used and talked to many a contractor in my day. Hardrock Inc. best concrete and asphalt paving company I have dealt with plus they gave the best price out of a dozen contractors, as well as the whole crew were polite and courteous and professional, easy to work with and very humble, why can't all contractor experiences be like this, they even refused when I tried to give them a tip because I was so pleased with the finished project, they vehemently protested, but I insisted that they treat the whole crew they said okay, only because it's for their crew!!!! Hardrock Inc., they are the model of a great contractor and business in their industry, better hire them asap if you need paving needs, these guys are going to be really busy!!!!!"

Customers say: True professional

"We are totally satisfied with the professionalism, skill, work ethic and overall attention to detail provided by Hector Martinez and his extremely capable crew. This is a contractor you can trust. They completed the job timely once they had started. Prices are fair. Our emphasis was on the quality of the materials and workmanship rather than the cheapest contractor we could find, as value is important to us. We feel this concrete will endure for many years to come. We plan to hire Hector again for additional masonry projects."

"The repair was excellent. It dealt with the issues concerning a cement block foundation. I am confident that the water problem is solved. Everseal worked beyond expectations. The workmen were very easy to work with. They did their best to keep dust from their work centralized. I would definitely hire them again - but, I don't think I will have to because of the job they did."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Unless you’ve worked in the masonry industry before, it is in your best interest if you hire a pro for any masonry needs. Masonry-related jobs require a high skill level and can be extremely time-consuming. If anything goes wrong, a licensed and insured masonry contractor would be able to take care of the subsequent repairs, giving you additional peace of mind.

This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.

If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they’ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You’d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won’t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.

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.

Cobblestone can be made from many different types of stones but the most common ones, by far, are granite, basalt, limestone, and sandstone.  If you are laying a brick paver patio or other such project, the medium is different. It’s rare, but cobblestone can also be made from marble, slate, jasper, and other types of rock. Technically, you can make cobblestone from almost any type of rock, but if it is weather-resistant and stands the test of time is another question entirely.
