"Adrian of Vargas Masonry and Roofing stopped by to provide an estimate for tuckpointing and chimney work on our historic Centennial Home. Adrian and Marie were prompt with a very competitive estimate which we accepted. They were both very receptive to addressing any questions or concerns we had prior to, during and for the final walkthrough. The crew performing the work very professional, very considerate to our property and provided us continuous updates as to the work being performed. The work performed consisted of tuckpointing two sides of the house along with chimney work and placing a cap on the two chimneys. As stated in a previous review, Vargas was honest, on time, and competitively priced! I'll continue to use Vargas Masonry and Roofing for the future work that I need on the interior brickwork and interior limestone foundation of our historic home."

"Last month I posted a review after an unsatisfactory experience with work performed by KCB on a property our nonprofit organization is rehabbing for veterans in East St. Louis, IL. After communicating with Nicole at KCB she assured me that the issues would be resolved. Edwin returned to the worksite and corrected all the issues I pointed out. KCB sincerely apologized for the delay and mentioned that would have come sooner, but they had been extremely busy with jobs in the area. Although the experience got off to a rocky start, I must say that KCB stepped up and provided top notch professionalism in rectifying the matter to our satisfaction. The craftmanship & attention to detail displayed by KCB upon returning to resolve the issues is clearly the reason why I contacted them initially. I would recommend KCB to anyone seeking masonry & tuckpointing on a job of this size."

"Jordan set up an appointment to come out and review what I needed. Received a proposal immediately. Even supplied me with drone pictures of the chimney work that was needed. We agreed on a date for the work to be done. Jordan and his crew arrived on time. Spot tuckpointed my porch, house, and chimney. Did a great job. Very good to deal with. Very courteous and professional. A few things noticed on the walk through when the job was finished were immediately taken care of. Did a wonderful job cleaning up. Respectful of my property. Would recommend this crew if you need tuckpointing work."

"Working with Luis at Roman's Tuckpointing was a pleasure. He provided a prompt and detailed analysis of what was needed and why, explaining any options that might be available to me as far as mortar styles, areas needing work versus areas in good condition, and color selection. Having tuckpointing done in the winter comes with a lot of weather challenges and Luis kept me informed of scheduling changes necessary. I strongly recommend Luis and his crew at Roman's Tuckpointing. Thanks, Luis!"

"I saw them in the neighborhood, so I got their details and they gave me an estimate. They were re-repairing a crack from 20 years ago. They did their work and cleaned up afterward. I waited until after 3 or 4 serious rain storms before this comment. The basement still dry. No seepage through the cracks. I should have called them a long time ago."

"We had an attached screened-in porch that was sinking.Acculevel came in and detailed every aspect of the repair project and then followed thru to the most minuet detail. Excellent work and very detail oriented. Friendly and cooperative service team that completed the work. This seemed like what was going to be a complicated job, using augered jacks, concrete removal, and replacing trex floor. ...In a nutshell, they made what seemed hard..very manageableand 100% solved.Excellent service, excellant price......Terry M."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, brick can breathe through limewash. Limewash is a breathable coating made from natural lime and water, allowing moisture to pass through while providing a protective layer. Unlike synthetic paints or sealants, which can trap moisture within the brick and lead to issues like mold, limewash allows the brick to maintain its natural breathability. This characteristic makes limewash an ideal choice for historic structures where preserving the integrity of the brick is essential.

When it comes to how to paint a brick chimney, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
