"Excellent work done efficiently! We had a lot of work to be done and Tom tackled it all skillfully and meticulously. And he was a pleasure to work with! He was here for 4 weeks and we enjoyed having him here. Tim, the own, was also great to work with. I would highly recommend Tri-State and will use them again!"

"They came out to do a 12x13 paver patio for a hot tub with footings for a future gazebo. They came out quickly to give the bid, made the couple adjustments requested, and after catching an issue they didnâ t see the day of the bid, they fixed the issue for just the cost of materials. They were done in about 2.5 days and communicated well. We will hire them again if needed!"

"Great crew and very good work. Professional, hard working, good relationship with the concrete compary so driver was happy to be talked into putting the truck where it needed to be. I have 50 years of experience and too old to do it any more. There guys do it the old fashion way like I always did it. I had some of my own equipment. They clean up and returned all of my stuff after the job was done and concrete was cured and uncovered. I will be using them again. I have always pulled TEST SAMPLES Beginning - Middle and End of a pour. Not with Tom Dugan. As an untrusting man, I trusted Dugan. I will have another 20 year's to pour in the late spring. I gave him lots of specification and drawing. Spoke to him and put it all in writing so we were clear. People buying services often do not do that. Tom Dugan read it and looked at it and we talk about it and HE DID IT ALL PERFECTLY. PS He is not a friend or relative but I respect him as a craftsman and artisan."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Fireclay is a type of clay but it is a type of clay that, because of its chemical composition, can be fired at a much higher temperature than other clays. This results in a denser and more heat-resistant final material. Because of the high percentage of a mineral called kaolin, fireclay sinks are smoother and more durable than other clay types.

It’s called cobblestone because it’s made of stones that are “cobbed” together. A cob is a term that refers to rounded lumps. Originally, cobblestone streets were made from pebbles and stones gathered from riverbeds that had been rounded over time by the passage of water. The term has nothing to do with a cobbler, which is the term for someone who makes and fixes shoes.

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.

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.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.
