"I called Smalling Masonry on Monday, looking to get my chimney swept and inspected for the year. The office staff was polite and friendly, and was able to set me up for that Thursday. They came out to the house on time and did a fantastic job. They laid down blankets because it was raining, as to not track in any dirt, and went right to work. Will certainly use them again in the future."

"Iâ  ve had the pleasure of hiring Warren Masonry on two different occasions. The first time to replace gutters and down spouts. The second time was to repair brick veneer. On both jobs, Alex and his crew did an excellent job. I highly recommend Warren Masonry for any gutter replacement or masonry repairs needed on your home or business!"

"Dominguez Masonry was very easy to work with. My job required multiple trips and close attention to detail in order to replace existing mortar around historic brick with new mortar that was a reasonable match to color, texture, and hardness of the original. Other companies I had tried to work with didn't seem to want to go through the trouble, but Martin made several test patches so that we could fine-tune the replacement mortar recipe. The overall appearance of the re-pointing was great when his crew was done."

"The Lasting Impressions team did an excellent job removing my previous patio and replacing it with beautiful stamped concrete. I appreciated the hard working and professional crew that worked on my project - they left the worksite safe and clean before they left each day. I am very pleased with the way the finished patio looks - it met all my hopes for the space. There was careful attention to detail, especially in the small finishing touches. The price for the project was quite reasonable."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

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.

For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.

Europe is a continent made of many individual countries with a history of city life. In these cities, dirt roads were unsanitary and often shifted. The Ancient Romans started laying cobblestone streets in the 3rd century, which became an iconic feature of European cities. The durable and practical paving material proved to be extremely weather-resistant.
