"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."
"Not only did Curtis& crew do excellent work, in my opinion they went above and beyond to satisfy us. We would definitely call Perkins Masonry if we need any masonry work in the future. Very friendly and easy to talk too!"
"As realtors we call on professionals that we can trust to assist our clients. Showecker Masonry is the best! They always respond promptly. They are extremely knowledgable & trustworthy. I would not hesitate to have them work on my own home & refer them to clients often. Their finished work is always great!"
"Jason responded to my request for a pro within minutes and provided me with number of options for time and services. We had a chimney that had not be cleaned out for a while but he took time and energy to make sure it was completely clean including the space around it. I had asked him to run the camera to inspect it and he took the time to explain each step. It was priceless to have that piece of mind. He is an experienced masonry professional. If I have any masonry or chimney work, he will be my first call. Thanks Jason!"

"I would highly recommend Sanders and Sons. They were very knowledgeable on how to fix the issues with our chimney on both of our houses. Their service was quick and efficient and their pricing was budget friendly. I would hire them again for any masonry work and we have recommended them to several neighbors in our area."
"He was responsive and professional. He will charge a fair price and will take the time to make sure the job is done right. He wonâ t stamp his name on a project done incorrectly. If you need any foundation/masonry work done, definitely give him a call! We had Begley Masonry do a foundation repair. He was great to work with. He was very responsive and fair, and always explained exactly what he was doing. We would use them again."
"Colin and his crew did an amazing job in helping us redesign our front yard after a major sewer replacement turned it into a big dirt pit. From the beginning stages Colin made helpful suggestions to put together a design that we loved. Both Colin and the office manager Monica were responsive to any questions that came up along the way. Friendly crew that worked very hard and did an impeccable clean-up job each day. It looks like a brand new house from the outside and we couldn't be happier! Definitely would recommend and will be hiring again as other landscaping needs come up."
"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!"
"Excellent communications. Work was speedy and professional. We will be contacting Dominguez Masonry for another point tuck project. Highly recommend."
No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.
You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.
Yes, it is usually possible to repair a damaged brick mailbox. A professional brick mason or masonry contractor can perform the repairs. They can assess the damage, provide an estimate, and help you determine if the repair is worthwhile based on the mailbox's value and the extent of the damage. The repair process may involve sourcing replacement bricks and mortar. Damaged bricks can be cut out and replaced, or the mortar joints can be cut out and retucked. It's important to note that the new mortar may differ in color from the original. If the mailbox insert itself is damaged, it can typically be cut out and replaced as well. If your brick mailbox has been completely destroyed, you should check with your local building code enforcement office before rebuilding, as some areas do not allow brick mailboxes due to the potential hazard they pose to drivers.
A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly outdoor brick pizza ovens—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) recommends placing a mailbox 6 inches to 8 inches back from the curb. If your lot is unusual, speak with town authorities or the local post office to determine the correct placement.
