"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!"

Customers say: True professional

"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

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

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.

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.

Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.

Discoloration ondifferent types of brick can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss.
