"As an architect I am very particular about the contractors I hire. Jim Sullivan did an excellent job on our masonry chimneyâ s. He did exactly the work he quoted and did an excellent job. The work was very professional done. He cleaned up and set up safely. He also did the work in a timely manner and communicated if they were any issues. He certainly wasnâ t the cheapest. But I know that you pay for what you get and I was happy to pay for a job professionally and well done"

"I was totally impressed with the job that “next level masonary and construction”did on my project, the men arrived on time and went right to work, they paid attention to how I wanted things to go and they did a 5 star job, they were very professional in their work and I am very happy with how my project turned out, they will be my first call if another job needs this type of work, can’t say enough these guys were great"

We've dealt with many contractors since we owned our home, Liam, Bryan and their crew are among the best we have worked with. They were professional and reliable. We couldn't be happier with the end result. Thank you so much!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

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.

If you’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.

Yes, as long as the cut is clean and the brick remains structurally sound, you can reuse it. Reusing brick is especially common for landscaping, edging, and small masonry repairs. Just make sure to file down any sharp edges before handling or installing it.

Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.
