"We needed our brick front walk repaired. We did some research and also asked neighbors for referrals and got two. The first contractor wanted to replace our entire brick steps and walkway with flagstone (expensive!). The second contractor was Brothers Pavers and Jose said he could repair only the part that needed fixing. He provided a quote (very reasonable) within a day and started work the following week. We were in a time crunch and Jose was able to work us in. Amazing!! It took two days to do the repair and each day the work area was cleaned. Once the mortar was cured, they came back and power washed the steps and walkway - it looked brand new! We highly recommend this company. Jose and the team were excellent to work with."

"I called JES Foundation Company for a free inspection of my crawl space. I was concerned about a crack in my foundation wall. JES inspector Richard Sheman Showed up to inspect my foundation. He sent a text with the time of his arrival. He was pleasant and on time. He went into my crawlspace and inspected the crack in the wall and stated I had nothing to worry about. He was very knowledgeable about the foundation and itâ  s structure. He explain to me how I could fix the superficial settling crack and save a bunch of money. I appreciate the honesty of the business and I would recommend it to anyone who had the same concerns, and for any of their other services. Ron P Home owner."

"The walls of the outside stairwell are beautiful, even though it's cinder block! An additional layer of cinder block was suggested so that water doesn't go into the stairwell. Drainage and a reservoir was added to move the water away from the stairwell. We will see once a long, hard rain comes if the basement will flood. The folks at Outdoor Advantage were very nice and knowledgeable!"

"Better pricing than others because it included finished walls (there were extra charges for additional finishing like drywall). Easy to work with the team for planning and scheduling, and the work was done efficiently. Good network for additional services like flooring."

"J&W did a wonderful job building my brick steps and concrete walk way to the front of my home. A quick quote and a great price considering the current market for bricks and concrete. Mr. Brown went the extra mile and I will be utilizing this company next week to replace the side entrance steps. I highly recommend!"

"We had basement water issues with water and some mold and rotting wood that was compounded by Hurricane Sandy that led us to finally do the work.  I was fearful of being taken advantage of.   This company was recommended by a contractor that we use regularly and that we trust (Roger Williams Construction, Jarretsville).
The sales representative was easy to schedule.  He was one of the most experienced men in the company.  He reviewed our property and made a specific plan to handle the problems found.  This is not a cheap proposition, especially for something that is buried in the ground or behind walls, but something we wanted done once and finally. 
The work comes with a lifetime warranty and is transferable to the next home owner.  The business has been around for over 20 years.  The warranty will last as long as the company lasts.
A big plus, but only mentioned in passing, was the company offered a 10% discount to Angie's List members.  I immediately became a member while we were discussing the proposal and immediately saved over $1000!!
One man prepped the basement and sidewalls.  Very capable and friendly.  Took several days.
A 3-4 man crew with a supervisor always on site then did the pipe, drain, and sump pump renovations and bentonite.  Took 3 days with the crew working from about 8:30 -3:30 each day.  Finished on time with as little mess as anticipated.  Project did require jackhammering cement around the basement edge and this did raise up some dust.
Same one man will return to refinish the sheet rock and reinstall cabinets and appliances.
Will probably need to pay to have a cleaning service come in and clean the basement and main floor to get the dust out.  Will need to pay to repaint the repaired drywall.  The carpet that was pulled away for the work does not appear damaged so hopefully it will reinstalled with little problem.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn’t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white.

Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.
