"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."

"Jesse did a great job on fixing my mailbox! He was professional, on time, and left everything neat when he finished. It was a small project that most people wouldn’t even quote. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing brick or masonry work done right!"

"Extremely well. The owner and his employees were considerate and always concerned with our property and that of our neighbor. In a relatively small space  their creative ideas and use of colors and patterns turned an eyesore into a place we can enjoy and share with family and friends. The project was completed in four days and a pool that was in close proximity was as pristine as the day the project started. The work is hard and tedious and we greatly appreciate their patience in answering our questions and keeping us informed on their progress, and what was coming next. Good folks, fun to be around. It took us a while to find Grounds
Quality Lawn Care and it was worth the wait.

"These guys are wonderful. They even answered some questions unrelated to the work I hired them for. I totally recommend them for your concrete/masonry needs. I hired them to do some tuck pointing and mold removal on my rental property. They did an amazing job, the guys were courteous and respectful, and the price definitely made me happy!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.

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.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.

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.
