"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."

"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

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. 

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

Masonry is an umbrella term that involves adhering individual building materials together using an adhesive, so many different things are considered masonry. These include constructing stone or brick walls or facades, installing stucco siding, installing backsplashes or tile floors, and even installing glass block windows, in some cases. Masonry materials include natural stone, clay bricks, concrete bricks, glass blocks, and tiles.
