"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."

"KCS did a great job installing an egress window in my basement. They communicated well from the day of the sale until completion of the project. All workers were respectful and efficient. When equipment issues caused a delay in finishing on Friday afternoon, a crew came on Saturday and completed the work. They seeded the area that was dug up by equipment and put straw over it, leaving everything neat and uncluttered. I recommend them highly!!"

"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."

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.

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.

No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause.

On average, a quality exterior brick stain can last between 10 and 20 years, and sometimes even longer. While it will look its best for a minimum of three to five years, its total lifespan depends on several factors. These include the quality and type of stain used, the condition of the brick, and the thoroughness of the surface preparation, such as proper cleaning. Following the manufacturer's application instructions and applying a sealant as a final step is also crucial. The stain's longevity can be affected by your location, climate, and the brick's exposure to harsh weather, high traffic, and other elements. Over time, the stain may begin to fade or look dingy due to weathering, erosion, dirt, and debris. Compared to paint, brick stain generally has a longer lifespan.

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.
