"They are very unprofessional and are emailing me to reschedule an appt to start off, then when they show up the workers are picking at my steps and pulling pieces off of them without my permission or even starting the project I feel that’s vandalism!! Then the workers proceeded to tell me why was I doing a repair they need to be replaced and I said that’s what it was supposed to be. My request was an estimate for a stair replacement/rebuild not a repair. So they called their boss and he also stated that he thought he out rebuild on the invoice that I signed which he did not. So I asked for a refund of the $800 deposit I gave them. Now they are telling me I’m only getting 50% back because I signed the invoice and it states that if I cancel before 3 days that I will only receive half back. I understand I signed it yes but they didn’t do what I asked which is why I was cancelling their workers touched my property when they shouldn’t have and now my stairs are in worse condition and they won’t even answer the phone. They emailed me to stop calling them"

They painted and re-organized the garage. They installed Anderson windows in 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms They repaired a walking shower, came up with a clever solution for an uncomfortable shower system. Likewise, they installed electrical outlets and lighting in the living rooms and painted 3 rooms with maximum efficiency and minimum fuss. I like their working style and their ingenuity.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.

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.

These walls are durable, low-maintenance, and add aesthetic appeal and property value.

In certain cases, such as when dealing with surfaces like concrete rather than brick, grout can be used instead of mortar. Grout tends to be more convenient to work with on non-masonry surfaces. However, many experts suggest using mortar whenever possible, as it provides stronger adherence to the bricks and results in a more textured appearance.

Some cracking in bricks is normal, such as when a foundation settles. Keep a watchful eye though, and alarm bells should start ringing if new cracks appear or existing cracks lengthen or widen. Temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can all contribute to cracks in bricks either starting or getting worse.
