"I found Liam and Bryan very easy to deal with. Bryan provided a quote within several days of my initial contact in regards to my chimney repair and painting the base. Their whole crew was very professional and I am very pleased with the results. They explained any problem clearly and solved them satisfactorily. In fact, they repaired the flashing and new clay flue liners free of charge. I highly recommend LBJ Masonry."

"Driveway paving job started and completed on July 24, 2019. Job went well! This masonry project was started and completed on August 24, 2019. Todd Albert has a keen eye and the right knowledge, to fix a problem such as what we were experiencing - the wall looks like it will survive for many years to come! Excellent professionalism - I would recommend Todd Albert / S and S Masonry without hesitation! Thanks again Todd - down the road, I am certain I will be contacting you for additional projects that need attention! Joe D"

"The owner and crew from Magalhaes were some of the most professional hard working masonry contractors I have ever worked with. We needed a new front walkway, training walls and some cobblestones to line the edges of our new dry. They helped us plan and design the walkway,walls and 2 new steps. They found just the right colts and pattern we were looking for. If you needed masonry work this is the company you should hire you will be very pleased with the work and the prices were very fair."

"James and the team at Avalon Masonry and Construction replaced our brick front walkway with pavers, repaired some existing paver work, and re-leveled a bluestone patio that had settled. Excellent work on all three. They started quickly and worked efficiently, with none of the long idle stretches you often get on a hardscaping job. Communication was thorough and proactive throughout, and they were responsive to our budget and creative about solving problems rather than defaulting to the most expensive fix. When one detail of the finished walkway wasn't sitting right with us, they came back and corrected it without any pushback. That willingness to stand behind the work is why I'd hire them again."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. 

Cobblestone can be made from many different types of stones but the most common ones, by far, are granite, basalt, limestone, and sandstone.  If you are laying a brick paver patio or other such project, the medium is different. It’s rare, but cobblestone can also be made from marble, slate, jasper, and other types of rock. Technically, you can make cobblestone from almost any type of rock, but if it is weather-resistant and stands the test of time is another question entirely.

Brick stain doesn’t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That’s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.
