"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."

"Romualdo contacted me personally to gather the details about the project. From start to finish he walked me through what would be required and how the process would turn out. I even learned a bit about how concrete works. Romualdo and his team were timely and efficient. I could not have asked for a more professional individual to work with. If you have any concrete projects and are unsure of where to turn consider Romualdo Construction LLC, to assist you."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Oswaldo and his team for a foundation repair project, and I couldn't be more impressed with the service they provided. From the moment they arrived at the job site, Oswaldo displayed exceptional professionalism and expertise. He quickly assessed the areas that needed attention and promptly updated the repair plan to ensure it met the specific requirements of the situation. Despite facing challenging weather conditions—snow and ice melt, followed by heavy rain, and an unexpected flow of water under the house—Oswaldo and his team showcased remarkable perseverance. Their dedication to completing the job, no matter the obstacles, was commendable. Additionally, I appreciated Oswaldo's commitment to communication. He kept me thoroughly updated on the project's progress and any necessary changes, which provided me peace of mind throughout the process. Overall, I highly recommend Oswaldo and his team for any foundation repair needs. Their experti"

"They did a great job. We got 4 quotes; they were neither the cheapest nor the most expensive. Everything was done on schedule, and they did not try to talk us into work we didn't need. Very professional, and they did a good clean-up job. We were initially annoyed that they had not cleanly cut through our tile (which we did not think to request), but we would have ended up pulling up and replacing the cut pieces anyway, so it really doesn't matter. Water problems in our basement have stopped! We are very satisfied."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

Landscape boulders, especially porous stones like sandstone or granite, can crack or break over time. Cracks occur when water seeps into the surface of the stone and freezes. The risk is highest when it rains during the day and temperatures freeze overnight since the moisture has time to penetrate deeper into the rock before expanding.

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.

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.

A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.
