"It went very well.  Construction was behind schedule due to the weather.  Approximate build time was 11-12 weeks. Christian did everything we contracted him to do with no hidden expenses or extra charges.  He provided us a packet with all the build details and costs.   He didn't bill us till what we thought was the appropriate time for each stage of the building process.  If we needed to call him and ask questions, he always answered or called us back within a short amount of time.  Christian worked with a two to three man team and they were always professional and respectful.

Christian looked at our property and gave us a vision of what he thought would work and look good.  We trusted his vision and it came out perfectly.  We requested some additional changes and he was very accommodating.  One was outside the budget and we felt the extra expense was very fair.  

The pool came out great.  Everything was level, the travertine and tile (water line) came out perfect.  The travertine was cut perfectly and uniform around the edges.  We were very happy with the color of the plaster (he recommended), tile, travertine, and the rock (tanning ledge).  After completing the pool, Christian provided us with the cleaning equipment including a pressure side pool cleaner, skimming net and scrub brush, and chemicals to get started.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

They provide excellent heat retention and durability and add a classic aesthetic to a home.

Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.

You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.
