Customers say: Quick response

"I contacted Tony about building a retaining wall in my front yard. Upon receiving my call, Tony was able to schedule an appointment for later that day and gave me a quote within 24 hours. Tony's quote was nearly half of price that competitors gave me. Tony began work literally within the week. He told me he would be at my home at 800 am, and he was there and working by 730 am. He completed the job in three days. On top of completing beautiful work, he was conscientious and respectful of the area surrounding where he was working. He completed a MAJOR construction project at my home, yet there was not a single blade of grass moved out of place. His attention to detail was remarkable. I am incredibly happy with the final result and my experience of working with Tony and AM Masonry. I would encourage you to contact him and work with him for any of your masonry needs."

"Another outstanding job by Olsen. We requested and received a proposal last fall for work to be done. Proposal was easy to understand, covered all work wanted and provided on very timely basis. Early spring they delivered brick samples for our approval and began work a few days later. Work was preformed very quickly, very professionally and of the best quality. They thoroughly cleaned up each day and after completion. We strongly recommend Olsen to everyone needing masonry work. Another satisfied customer, again."
Before tuckpointing – note the cracked and missing mortar and stone.

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

Yes, professionals have the skills to restore historical or intricate masonry by respecting traditional techniques and materials. They address damage meticulously, preserving the original design while ensuring stability and longevity.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.

Discoloration ondifferent types of brick can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss.
