"Oliver was great to work with. His work is excellent. I appreciated his work ethic and willingness to "go above and beyond." He was able to complete a relatively small masonry job very quickly. I HIGHLY recommend him. John Patterson"

"Jon and his team were outstanding. They were extremely professional with quick and effective communication. His level of expertise was evident in both his scoping of the job and in his work. When I asked for additional repairs, beyond the original scope, Jon was able to fit this extra work in for a much lower price than I expected. All the work done was top quality, and their cleanup at the end was commendable. I enthusiastically recommend JPL Masonry!"

"I had a new cap, the top six courses of brick replaced, and the rest tuck-pointed on my fireplace chimney. The chimney looks new, the worksite looks as though they were never here. Hardworking, respectable guys who would always take time to answer questions. Beautiful work at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended."

"Juan is a true craftsmen. He and Edwin are incredibly hard-working and meticulous, showing great attention to detail. Juan was extremely polite and made every effort to ensure our satisfaction (as did Karina from the office). The team cleaned up every night before leaving and at the end of the project. We are thrilled with the work. The stone work is beautiful! We are also amazed by the value - others wanted to charge more for hanging pre-fab stone veneer, than RK did for true masonry work. We cannot recommend RK highly enough!"

"Atlas did a good job and followed up when I thought there was a problem.  (The problem wasn't the foundation.)  I would recommend dealing with Chris Heintz, one of the owners.  IMHO, the other owner, Marty, is a horse's patoot.  He's the reason for the lower scores.  Chris did a masterful job of explaining the issues to me and even offered some suggestions to my contractor."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

Not all cracks in brick indicate foundation problems. For instance, small hairline cracks can occur as a new construction settles. However, larger cracks are often a sign of a more severe issue. Indicators of a potential foundation problem include long horizontal cracks, "stair-step" cracks, vertical cracks that appear indoors, or any crack that widens at the top. Other signs of structural damage to look for are uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. These issues could be caused by problems with the soil beneath the home or an overgrown tree.

Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.

Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.
