"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.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

No, it’s not recommended to attach shutters to brick without drilling. Brick is dense and built to last, so adhesives and shortcut methods don’t usually cut it. Even heavy-duty glue struggles to hold up over time—especially against wind, moisture, and temperature changes. Most no-drill options are made for materials like vinyl or wood, not solid masonry. Skipping the drill might seem easier, but it puts your shutters—and anything below them—at risk. For a secure, lasting install, drilling is the way to go. It takes more effort up front, but the result is safer and more reliable.

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.

Brick houses can last at least 100 years with minimal maintenance. With regular care and attention, including mortar repointing, brick houses can last 500 years or more.

Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.
