"Bruce called instantly and arraned to come the next morning to review the project. He arrived promptly at 9 am reviewed the work and gave a very reasonable quote...at least it was what I had in mind. He was very polite, personable and professional and he did a great job. I highly recommend Bruce for any masonry work you may have. In this case he cleaned off old mortar from about 20 bricks that had been knocked loose from a brick wall and reset them. They look grest."

"Originally quoted 3-4 days, which became 7 days, which turned into 14 days. Only 1 rain day. Overall probably more involved than originally anticipated. Good thing Mike Osbourn Lawncare has a 1-year warranty! Crews did NOT appear to have been briefed well by the previous-day's crew. I provided a detailed outline of job parameters with photos. Referred to outline, day-after-day with each day a different set of employees. The first-day crew destroyed our front yard. Mr. Osbourn replaced most - but not all - of the ruts with a fescue. Which of course did not match our Zoysia. No response from Mr. Osbourn when I inquired about the difference, except that he had provided "free grass and straw." (They regraded my front yard without permission.) The company destroyed our asphalt drive although we were told some of the edging would be chipped and cracked. Not a big issue since we were contracted for a totally new drive. I was told that part 2, the free-standing accent wall, would take too many cuts and they would not replace as specified. Discussing with Mr. Osbourn, the wall (the 2nd part) was removed with a reduction to the total, His crews worked hard and diligently. A few employees spoke English well enough to converse with. I was not sure exactly when a crew would show up - they began 3-days early without notice, and worked on other projects without notice. Emailed the office since Mr. Osbourn's voice mail was always full. During the day Mr. Osbourn was available via text. When I inquired about an issue, I was told I "nit-picked" more than any customer. When I pointed out a big deviation from original specifications (error), I was told I "complained" more than any one else. (Several times I did point out that their new wall did NOT conform to our "old" walls footprint or height. I did strenuously point out they had built the walkway step in the wrong place, which they did reconfigure.) Overall, I suspect these three projects were more complex than originally anticipated. They did NOT adhere to specifications and made changes without checking with me - I believe they may not have even been aware that changes were being made."

"Wonderful communication, knowledgeable and experienced team. Ethan, Grant, and Jose are superb! I needed some crawlspace repair completed prior to the sale of my home, and these guys made the experience feel not so overwhelming. Ethan took quality photos of each item that was addressed, took time to explain the necessary steps in the process, and communicated promptly at each turn. Grant and Jose worked tirelessly cleaning out heavy debris left from the previous owner, completed the multi-day job, and even left useable materials neatly stacked upon request, Notably, even though operating as a single female, I felt secure with this team, didnâ t feel railroaded, and feel confident that this team was a good choice."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Choose from an abundance of natural and synthetic options when perfecting your hardscape design. Stone veneer costs a bit less, holds up against the tests of time and weather, and also works best in curves and complex walls.

Natural stone, however, provides an organic look to a lawn while providing just as much strength as veneer. Don't forget you can chat with your mason about other common wall materials like brick, cinderblock, and concrete.

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.

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.

Yes, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.
