Who better to know what you’ll need to do a project than someone who does them! In 1979, George Elliott was a homebuilder who wanted better quality materials, so he began to stock his own products for his growing business. Soon, colleagues saw what George had in his own personal inventory and started to ask if they could buy from him. Eventually, that evolved into a retail lumber business, serving not only the needs of local contractors, but the community. In 1998, we joined True Value, which gave us greater access to a bigger inventory of products at more competitive prices. Today, WoodMart thrives because of the quality philosophy started by George … if you’re gonna do it, do it right, with the right materials. We keep an eye on the industry and a close ear to what our customers ask for. Our excellent team of building professionals and kitchen and bath designers all have experience and passion and simply love what they do. That means unsurpassed personal service you won`t get at those large chain stores. At WoodMart: • We work with contractors and do-it-yourselfers. • We promise personal service from experienced professionals. • You’ll have access to the latest products and a huge inventory. • You won’t pay more … ever!

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.

A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly outdoor brick pizza ovens—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons.

Some cracking in bricks is normal, such as when a foundation settles. Keep a watchful eye though, and alarm bells should start ringing if new cracks appear or existing cracks lengthen or widen. Temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can all contribute to cracks in bricks either starting or getting worse.

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.
