"Vargas and his crew did a superb job for us last week, tuck pointing our house and garage, fixing our front steps, and repairing a furnace chimney that was in bad shape. Their work was excellent and they went way beyond what we expected by fixing bad spots on the house that they noticed. The price was extremely reasonable and the crew did a nice job cleaning things up. Definitely recommend them and would use them again in a heartbeat."

"Joe Lane, alias Joe James did landscaping last year. All initially went well. He and his crew removed bushes, installed rock and milch, power washed the driveway and removed junk from my garage. He gained my confidence in his honesty and swore that he had never cheated a customer. I advanced a $1,000 payment for topsoil and grass seed and he has never returned. Since July of last year all I have received from him are excuses and promises. Hr also promised to replace the bushes , most of which died. I requested he refund my money and he has not responded. BEWARE!! Don’t trust him."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

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.
