"The Progress Masonry crew was great, and we love how our new patio and retaining wall turned out! Martin and Philippe were quick to respond to our requests, came in with a reasonable bid, and installed the patio on time and as agreed! We would recommend Progress Masonry to family and friends."

"I live in a town home community, and 4 units (including mine) were experiencing the serious failure of a two-story exterior brick facade. It was becoming a dangerous situation and needed prompt attention. We met with several brick experts to diagnose the problem and discuss how to repair or replace the wall. Anderson Mason had neither the "cheapest" quote, nor was it the most expensive quote, but Mr. Anderson was the brick mason all of the neighbors trusted the most. We could immediately tell that he was very concerned about putting his name on quality craftsmanship and materials, and we are glad we hired him. When we told Mr. Anderson that we were hiring him, the neighbors were honestly a little concerned about paying half of the cost up-front, but Mr. Anderson explained the amount of materials that would need to be ordered for the project. We felt tremendously better about everything when he immediately demonstrated that he trusted us by putting significant time, labor, and costs into "shoring up" our wall to prevent a dangerous collapse before he received any money from us. Mr. Anderson saved us from an unexpected wall collapse, and he kept us informed on the status of the materials and timeline of the project. He and his team expertly dismantled the failing wall (without further damage anything), kept us informed on the status of the materials, and kept us informed in advance of when weather would affect the timeline for the project. They were able to build a brand new wall in the estimated timeline given upfront. Although no homeowner enjoys an emergency project like this, we all learned to appreciate Mr. Anderson and all of the team members he brought to work on our project. We felt we could trust all of the team with our house keys, and we knew if we left them to work all day, we would come home to see significant progress being made. They all took pride in doing quality work, and they also made us feel like part of their family. In the end, we ended up with a beautiful new brick wall that matches the other existing units as well as one could hope (considering the older walls are sixty-plus years old)--actually, our new wall looks so much better than the old walls on the neighboring units. I know that if I need brick work in the future, I have the name of someone I can call who will give me the straight story about what work needs to be done, but who will not try to sell me something I do not need. Anybody considering hiring Anderson Masonry should feel at ease knowing that they can do so without worrying about someone doing poor work or "running off" with the money. It is rare these days to find someone who cares deeply about their work and also cares about keeping their word to their customers. Mr. Anderson is one of these rare individuals. In my mind, we could not have done better than hiring Anderson Masonry. I, and all of my neighbors, are thankful that we found him."

"The men came out right on time and started to work. My house is setting on 14ft of fill! They dug five holes next to the foundation. They had to jack hammer for two days through a lot of rock until they got to the basement footer. Deshon O, Jovann J and Kyle H were the team ready for the task. Iâ m really impressed with the hard work and the team tasked with making my foundation solid again. Foundation Recovery Systems was right priced and reliable. If I had known it was such a reasonable cost Iâ d have had it done years ago. Iâ ll be recommending them!"

"Acculevel did a super job for us! We have a house that was built in 1902 with a small crawl space. They fixed ALL our problems and did NOT have to tear up the floors. Our floors are level and stable. They were professional and neat. I would hire them for any basement or foundation issues you wont be sorry! 10 stars to the crew"

"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!"

"We had been looking for someone to repair a damaged step on a front porch. We tried about 4-5 companies and they either said no the job was too small or they had no time or they didn’t respond. Shawn Hiatts first response to us was I think it is going to warm up next week, I can get it done then. He showed up and did the work. He went above and beyond by making the step a little wider, which was very acceptable to us. Less chance of falling off as the other step was not so wide. Also we were aware of needing dirt work done around the house and rock out over it. He told us that we might want to get dirt work done to save damage layer. We told him yes we knew it needed done. He offered to do it at a very reasonable price. That evening the dirt work was done and the next morning rock was down. He is very efficient and professional. We will definitely use him again when we need more work done!!"

"Jesus, the Anthony technician was terrific. He and his assistant were efficient and left the work site better than they found it. Jesus spent time explaining the installation and giving tips on how the Nest thermostat could be used beyond simple temperature control. Thanks!"

"I hired them to remove a hanging tree branch tangled in power lines and while they were there to get the debris pile out of my yard. They had a low bid and they were able to get to me the same day! They told me they also do landscaping. I’ll probably be hiring them again in the future. Oh, and they didn’t just get the debris pile, they raked all the sticks up from the whole yard!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

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

On average, a well-built brick mailbox can last between 30 and 100 years. The insert that holds mail inside the mailbox may last 15 to 25 years before it needs to be replaced. If a mailbox needs to be fixed due to damage, make sure you know who to hire for brick repair.

Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case.

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.
