"Brian and his crew were professional and courteous. Communication was complete and was always made aware of progress, and schedule. Job was completed promptly and looked great. I would recommend Masonry Plus and I’m having a project for next year hopefully using his team again."

"New England Foundation Crack Repair responded very quickly to my call. Will came out to look at the project and explained thoroughly what needed to be done. On the day of the scheduled work, Tony and Ian arrived to take on the project. Both of these gentlemen were knowledgeable, competent and courteous professionals. Upon completion of their work, the outside grass and stone area looked like it had been undisturbed and the interior basement area was spotless. Tony and Ian are a definite asset to this company and I would highly recommend New England Foundation Crack Repair."

"Rob and Tom are the masters at their craft, no pun intended. It was a pleasure working with them both to ease any concerns we had about our foundation. They were helpful and spent an hour with me on the phone walking through every detail of what my concerns were, educating me, and never once selling me (I lead a sales team so that was huge), to eventually understand the problem and paint the picture on how they can help. We have other needs at the house and will definitely use them in the future. Check around like I did on price and you will not beat them for the quality they provide. Sure some may be cheaper, but they will not put the pride of work into what they did with our house. The before and after work with the pictures they provide is pretty telling and they show you the materials used, walk you through what happens, and how this will help. Can't wait to use them again for other projects and they receive my highest recommendation. Thanks again guys!"

"We have hired Blue Costa for a few projects which have included a concrete pad for a hot tub, as well as leaf cleanup in the fall. They are top-notch! The owners are highly communicative, which is great because you know when they are coming out and you can get in touch with them very quickly. They show up when they say they will. They charge what they say. They are going to charge you. Their work is beautiful. Even though we hired them just to put in a concrete pad for a hot tub on a pre-existing deck, they took the time to clean the entire deck, and even re-leveled some of the stones. It was amazing. It was like the whole deck was brand new. At our previous home we definitely had our fair share of terrible contractors. Moving to a new house we needed to find new contractors and we are so happy that we picked Blue Costa! A+ service!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.

You should worry about brick wall cracks when they are wide and growing, or in a horizontal or stair-step pattern. Additionally, they may be accompanied by other signs of structural stress. In these cases, a foundation specialist should inspect your home.

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.

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 may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.
