"We are totally satisfied with the job done by Maass Masonry. The job was done exactly as we discussed; personable and professional workers who did an excellent, timely job with great attention to detail. We were called the same day as when I posted the job. Estimate was given and job completed in about two weeks. We highly recommend Maass Masonry. We never thought anyone would want to do what seemed a small job to some but huge to us. We would not hesitate to recommend this business to anyone!"

"I needed a lot of foundation work done--adjustable jacks, stabilizing piers, geo-lock wall anchors and carbon steel stripping along my foundation. Peak Structural was amazing. From the receptionist who answered my panicked phone call the first day to my sales person, Tim Miller, who made special trips to my home and responded to me on weekends, to the crew who actually performed the work (Greg, Spenser and Brandon), who went above and beyond to repair a broken sprinkler line all the way to Brayden my project manager who communicated with me constantly, was very accommodating and was always one step ahead of me. I can't say enough about Peak Structural. They secured the foundation of my home for life and gave me much needed peace of mind."

"I highly recommend Campos & Sons for your concrete needs. Their response time for a free estimate was prompt and work was scheduled within a couple weeks. They are reasonably priced and show up on time and work very efficiently. The next day when they came to remove the brackets, they left the site picked up and clean. Very pleased with how our sidewalk and step turned out."

"I recently had granite countertops installed in my home. Afterward, I hired a local handyman that identified himself as a plumber to install strainers and reconnect the drain pipes. After having him back a second time for massive leaks, he still failed to properly install the drain pipes without leaks. I called Bowers Plumbing Company to fix his mess. They were prompt to respond and Matthew was very professional and did a great job. The cost was also extremely reasonable as well. The old saying holds true... buy cheap, buy twice. I highly recommend Bowers Plumbing Company for all your plumbing needs."

"Make sure you ask questions. After getting a clear understandable explanation of why and what they were doing, I felt I was getting my money's worth. They were a bit pricey. Workers were prompt, courteous and were careful of our property."

"We are so pleased with the outcome of this project. We had grading issues identified at inspection that we procrastinated on for 3.5 years. We went back and forth over what to do with this area to fix the grade and we ended up going with a retaining wall and backfill. Great Plains did great work - I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.

Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. 

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.
