"I needed to replace the front steps because they were pulling away from the foundation. I received several quotes and Republic Masonry (Henry) came in with a budget friendly price. Henry and his co-worker were professional and very detail oriented and cleaned up when the job was complete. The stairs look wonderful! I would highly recommend Republic Masonry (Henry) for all your cement projects. Kathy Faye"

"OLD FASHIONED CONTRACTOR PROFESSIONAL VALUES FOR ANY HARDSCAPE, LANDSCAPE OR MASONRY PROJECTS Macauley Brothers Landscape has maintained old-fashioned work values in their approach to their clients and their work. If you need top quality hardscape, masonry or landscaping work done, there is no better choice than Macauley Brothers. I have managed several residential and commercial renovation projects and communicated with numerous contractors over the decades, and Macauley Brothers stands out, because of the superior qualities of their ownership, their office management, their crew chiefs, and their workers. Pride in a job well done with customer satisfaction is a top priority for Macauley Brothers, as if your home was their home. Starting with their responsiveness, reasonableness, and honesty in discussing with you their creative proposals to address your goals; and continuing through scheduling, prepping, completion and billing; you will be impressed with their transparency and follow through . .even when they are very busy. They actually listen to their clients’ requests and provide a cost effective and creative way to meet your objectives if possible within your budgets. As with any business that relies on weather conditions and manufacturer suppliers, there will inevitably be delays and unexpected challenges. But you can be confident that Macauley Brothers will be straight forward with you in trying to minimize the problems from these issues. As the customer, you will be treated with respect, which is why they will become your hardscape, masonry and landscape company of choice through the years, as you improve and renovate your homes., and move to new ones How do I know so much about Macauley Brothers? Because they have done a wide range of challenging hardscape, masonry and landscape projects for two of our family homes in Newton and Brookline over the past 4-5 years. The outside areas of both homes have been totally transformed by Macauley Brothers, substantially enhancing their curb appeal, usability and value. Neighbors and strangers passing by have consistently stopped to praise their work and the impact on the neighborhood. Their fist job was to demolish and rebuild with designer manufactured blocks an engineered retaining wall that was as high as 10’ at its highest. Most other masonry companies were too small, too large or too intimidated to even make a proposal, but Macauley Brothers installed a magnificent wall exceeding engineering standards that has received praises from the engineer and the City of Newton. Macauley Brothers has used a smaller retaining wall to regrade a side yard where they have installed artificial turf to create an amazing playground area for our grandchildren; have created new paver patios, repaired flagstone patios and walkways, and installed beautiful fencing around each. A crumbling front staircase and landing build on a crescent of a hill have been rebuilt by Macauley Brothers into an inviting and impressive durable front entry. In both homes, they have installed beautiful paver and natural stone walkways, patios and landings in striking patterns; applied granite or block steps into the side of a steep hill; and placed cobbles to add style to an asphalt driveway. When possible, they will repair masonry that does not require replacement. Macauley Brothers took construction ravaged front and backyards in Brookline and restored their prior beauty with installed Sod and landscaping. In both houses, the landscaping recommended by Macauley is always appropriate from as aesthetic perspective, as well as suitability for the region, climate, soil condition and sun exposures. In short, if you have a hardscape, masonry or landscape project that is important to you or your family, it would be a mistake not to hire Macauley Brothers if they are available and interested in your project. If you have to wait a few weeks for their schedule, I know that it will be worth the wait."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

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.

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.

The exact cost of bricks depends on the type and size of the bricks you use for your project. Generally, standard clay bricks cost between $350 and $850 for a thousand bricks, or an average of $550. Brick veneer costs around the same for materials but is easier to install than solid bricks, so you’ll save on labor by choosing this option.

You can purchase from many brick manufacturers and distributors via their websites, where you can also get estimates based on the quantity you need. You’ll find bricks at your local home improvement stores as well, though they won’t have as much of a variety to choose from. As for antique bricks, secondary selling websites like eBay can be a great resource.
