"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"

"It was following a storm. I had one tree down and 3 other large portions of trees down. They came, surveyed the needs, gave me a price, and came when they were able. They have been doing my fall clean up for a number of years. I did not know they also do tree removal. I am very happy with their work."

"Asphalt Solutions did an excellent job! They provided a free on-sight quote, which helps greatly with budgeting the project. The final project looks great, so much so that several neighbors hired them on the spot! Thanks for every Drew, it was a pleasure doing business with you. ~Eric"

"Super friendly and helpful customer service (at framingham office in MA) when things didnâ t come out perfect to start. End result was excellent. A bit more details: We had some initial miscommunicatons about how to repoint our exposed chimney in our house. They had to come back and do more extensive work (having a mason remove older mortar and redo part of the chimney). That extra work would have been a lot more expensive than what we had initially talked about, but also resulting in a nicer look. IIn that situation, the guys at Paramount took their responsibility for the initial miscommunication and redid the job at a fraction of what the masonry would have cost. Professional and very keen on having satisfied customers! In the end, we were really happy with both their work and their attitude to make things right!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.

Yes, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.
