"Victor and his crew did fantastic! He worked with us very well and would verify everything right before planting the plants and flowers to make sure we were happy with the placement. He gave suggestions and lawn care advice without being overbearing and his calm and kind personality made him great to work with. Neighbors were keeping an eye out and liked our results so much that they asked for his card for help with their yards. We will definitely use him again. Thank you Victor and crew!"

"I had selected Granite Heroes given their proximity to me and the fact that they were slightly lower than another service I had called. The job was to restore my black marble tile lining the shower, half the bathroom walls and covering the entire floor after significant etching over the years from use of the incorrect cleaning products. The couple had told me that it would likely take them a good portion of the day and since I was home due to COVID I’d be here during the entire time period. They weren’t here long which intrigued me since I assumed maybe they were just efficient in 2 hours versus the 6 they estimated the job would take. I peeked into the bathroom to see that everything looked good from afar as it dried (couldn’t walk on the tile to take a better look). The next morning, I saw the detail of the hasty (not efficient) work done the day before. Don’t get me wrong, the tile looks much better than it did. Although anything applied to the surface would look better than the etching before. What was amiss in the process was an application of integrity. To do the job the right way with a sense of character as if it was your own. I was told they would clean the bathroom tiles after application. They did…sort of. Most of the tiles had a white paste splattered all over them that wasn’t coming off with marble approved cleaning solutions and a lot of elbow grease. This same paste was caked on my walls. So much so that I have rubbed the paint off to get it removed and now need to repaint the bathroom walls. The work was messy and incomplete at that. Numerous tiles are missing the polish and clearly visible with the whirl marks of a buffer while others shine with a finished glow. Running my hand along them you can feel sections of the tile that have no polish at all (a clear indication of a rushed job). My white tub has gray marks of who knows what on it that have been sealed over with their sealant and whatever I try to do, the gray mark has become a part of the tub facade which drives me nuts because it was white before they came in. Additionally, I’ve had to spend $200 in products from Marble Life in order to fix what Granite Heroes had neglected to do. I did contact the company and ask them to come back and correct the situation thinking maybe they would have a conscious of moral integrity and customer service mindedness. They replied by setting a date to address the issues and then never showed up, never responded back to me and left me to address the issues on my own. Again the tiles do look better compared to what they were (anything would) but the amount of hassle and clean up after the fact has left me to regret the decision to hire them in the first place. In the end it comes down to this: if you want the job done, call Granite Heroes. If you want the job well done, call anyone else."

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts

You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.

Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.

Staining or painting brick isn’t something to do on a whim. Make sure you really want to live with stained brick, because once you apply the stain, it’s permanent. Sure, it will fade over time, but you can’t restore the brick to its natural tones after applying a stain or paint.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.
