"Andrew did a fantastic job. He was very knowledgeable and explained the pros and cons of the different waterproofing methods he recommended I apply to my basement foundation to make sure it stayed sealed long term. He was very professional, a good communicator, cleaned up after himself, and made sure to provide updates throughout the work. He even repaired a cracked portion of my sewer while installing a sump pump. Would highly recommend! Not a lot of waterproofing companies out there like Affordable that are a one man show, which is the best part. One man job = one way communication and responsibility. It hurts me not to give him a full 5 stars, but the only minor con I can bring up was how the work was some charges tacked on at the close of the project, due to some extra cost he told me he incurred for the pipe/connections needed to repair/replace the cracked pipe. The labor materials for repairing the damaged pipe were listed on the original firm bid I received before the project started. As I said this was a VERY MINOR con and I feel you will not find a better contractor out there to replace Andrew for your waterproofing needs!"

"We couldnâ t find anyone local to install a chimney, so went with Shamrock, who had a crew working locally, although they were based 2 hrs away. They came sooner than expected, did the job beautifully, and have been easy to contact with any questions we had. Very pleased with the whole project."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

The best way to clean creosote from brick is to hire a professional chimney sweep. However, you can use a creosote log to remove excess buildup between cleanings. You can also clean minor creosote buildup using dish soap or vinegar mixed with water.

Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. 

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.

On average, a quality exterior brick stain can last between 10 and 20 years, and sometimes even longer. While it will look its best for a minimum of three to five years, its total lifespan depends on several factors. These include the quality and type of stain used, the condition of the brick, and the thoroughness of the surface preparation, such as proper cleaning. Following the manufacturer's application instructions and applying a sealant as a final step is also crucial. The stain's longevity can be affected by your location, climate, and the brick's exposure to harsh weather, high traffic, and other elements. Over time, the stain may begin to fade or look dingy due to weathering, erosion, dirt, and debris. Compared to paint, brick stain generally has a longer lifespan.
