"Masonry project required expert craftsmanship. We are highly satisfied. However your categories don't allow for the work that was done. We have a stone residence, 93 years old. 83 Masonry performed skillfully to repair stone carved pillars and decorative acorns."

"I was very impressed with Atlas. The team was prompt, hard working, and quick. I expected that digging holes for 5 piers would make quite a mess. However, they had it down to a science -- Plastic sheets to protect the ground and then cover the excavated dirt so it didn't blow around or get muddy when it rained. Noise was minimal - much less than I thought it would be. They were done in 3 days, and cleaned up so well, you could hardly tell that anything had been done."

"We have lived in our house for 10 years. Right after we moved in there was water in the crawlspace and we hired Permaseal to do drain tile. We've had no water issues for 10 years. This year we finally decided to do something about the settling in the addition and again hired Permaseal to install piers around the foundation (interior and exterior). Hugo M. and his team did an outstanding job, working through some very cold days, installing everything as planned and at each moment stopping to show us the work and the progress. The work required going through the drain tile on the interior pier locations and the team reinstalled the drain tile system before pouring the final concrete. The work was really well done and everything was left clean and picked up, which is remarkable considering the scope of the work."

"My husband and I had a wonderful experience with The Real Seal in July 2024. They fixed a bowing foundation and waterproofed the basement for future finishing. Their team was prompt, respectful, organized and thoroughly educated us on the drainage tile system, installation process and prevention. Thank you, Real Seal for being the flawless first step to our dream basement/family space!"

"Hardrock Inc. Francisco & His Father did an absolute great job. They went the extra mile to check border pavers we had seen in the area as well as even visit the sites which we had seen in adjacent towns to try and match the look we were trying to achieve. They worked through a rain storm during the demolition phase of the project, they didn't damage the work site in any significant manner. My driveway concrete had settle at least 6-8 inches near my garage area and in front of my stoop, Francisco said we can build up that area. In fact the original builder didn't place adequate basing so he had underestimated by 1/2 the material cost, but told me; my error and would only charge 1/2 the extra basing material needed to complete the job. They cleaned up and any small detail, like small part of sod grass was damaged, they replaced with new as well as finished work on the mailbox on a Sunday so we could be good to go before the mail showed up on Monday, because they promised. Best Contractor experience I've had, and I have used and talked to many a contractor in my day. Hardrock Inc. best concrete and asphalt paving company I have dealt with plus they gave the best price out of a dozen contractors, as well as the whole crew were polite and courteous and professional, easy to work with and very humble, why can't all contractor experiences be like this, they even refused when I tried to give them a tip because I was so pleased with the finished project, they vehemently protested, but I insisted that they treat the whole crew they said okay, only because it's for their crew!!!! Hardrock Inc., they are the model of a great contractor and business in their industry, better hire them asap if you need paving needs, these guys are going to be really busy!!!!!"

"Initially I was looking to get some masonry fixed. Rob came by and pointed out the chimney was in very bad shape. There were cracks in the crown and deteriorated mortar. He provided a quote and a thorough explanation of what work would be done, and followed up with pictures once complete. He was accommodating with my scheduling. He was very easy to work with and it turned out great! Thank you!"

Masonry 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.

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.

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.

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.

Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.
