"They brought a big crew of 8 and installed piers to level my house. It only took one day! I watched them work and admired their teamwork and unselfish approach. I wound up speaking with almost all of them at some point and they all showed respect and genuine interest in my questions or concerns. Glad I hired them!"

"Excellent experience! My wife and I recently bought our home and immediately started renovating. We tore out the carpet and noticed some cracks in the slab foundation. Nothing appeared to be a big issue, but since the floors were already exposed, we figured it would be a good idea to get things checked out. We started with another company (for whom I’m currently contemplating writing a BAD review). They said we needed at bear minimum $13,000 worth of work done. The inspectors story didn’t add up and my wife and I had a very bad feeling that they were trying to sell us on something we didn’t need. Hence our call to Foundation Recovery Systems. We needed a second opinion. Ed Macdonald came out to inspect for us. Right off the bat, he seemed to know his stuff and seemed to actually care. I explained our concerns as well as our prior experience, and he assured we would get to the bottom of this. Long story short, whether it was lack of training or just blatant dishonesty, he found that what was recommended by the other inspector was complete bogus. Ed gave us suggestions on things to monitor over the next few years and how to spot signs of settling, but his sole recommendation for any foundation support work was only if we wanted precautionary measures taken for our piece of mind. With free inspections, I am always skeptical that contractors will always find something wrong. Or else, how would they make any money? But Ed proved to be an honest guy as well as a representative of an honest company. Whenever or if ever anything goes wrong with our foundation, Ed will be the first person we call!"

"Big shout out to Dil and Cruise for doing a splendid job . They were very courteous, patient enough to listen to my concerns and very friendly. The Job was to lift the concrete and seal the joint and cracks . Time will tell how well the seal will hold especially with colorodo weather but so far happy the result. Thank you Trasher."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It’s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You’ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To remove efflorescence stains, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

Always work with licensed and certified masons in your area when installing a stone wall or even a stone veneer. Just like all home designers, they should provide an impressive portfolio and offer a free estimate for the project. Pick the pro who fits your budget and schedule and, most importantly, helps you realize your landscape vision.
