"I would recommend them to anyone who needs masonry work done. They did a good job of grinding out the mortar and replacing a brick on my front steps. However, the job also included grouting around the top step where the concrete meets the siding and on the last step where it meets the sidewalk. They used white grout, which stood out like a sore thumb, and was too wide and very gloppy. When I told them about it, they said they would wash the steps down one day and come back the next, take the white out at the bottom and replace it with gray. But they did the washing and the grouted over the top of the white. Now, the gray grout was 1 1/2 inches wide in places. Looked terrible, and the white just looked worse and worse. Called again. They came out and took out the gray and white and put a clear grout. Looked better, so I asked them, to take out the white and put clear on the top step. They did, and it looks better than the white, but they should have done that in the first place. While the young men seemed to know masonry work, they definitely were not good at grouting. The steps look old now, from so much grinding, grouting, and work, and the top pad was just replaced 2 or 3 years ago. It looks much older. But I must say, they did come back and re-do when I was not happy. Just wish they had done it right the first time. Plus, I forgot to tell them, that they put their tools on my grass on those 90+ degree days. The front lawn has come back, but on the side, I have a patch where they killed all my grass. I think it must have been part of the coiled-up hose because there is a line from it to my hose and that was the day they washed my steps off."

"It was my good fortune to be working in my front yard when Richard Golobo, owner of Capital Paving and Construction completed a U-turn in front of my driveway and offered his driveway restoration services to me. Always reluctant to accept both unsolicited phone calls from merchants, as well as walk-ups hoping to sell me something, Mr. Golobo was similarly treated to my sales resistance! Speaking with him for some minutes did, however, convince me that he knew well his trade, and while he went to another part of my neighborhood where his crew was working to retrieve a contract form, I quickly confirmed all of his spoken credentials and Angie’s List outstanding reviews via my PC!. When he did return with some members of his crew they wasted no time in putting sledge hammer to deteriorated asphalt, and soon the sound of masonry saws and dust filled the quiet spring morning. Mr. Golobo fully explained to me at our initial meeting what the job would entail, its duration and cost. All of these terms were acceptable to me. As my driveway had lowered at the lip of the concrete apron just before the garage entryway, it was necessary to dig out the entire width of this asphalt to an approximate distance of 2and frac12; feet from this lip and backfill and undergird the resulting cavity with some pieces of the broken asphalt. The remainder of the resurfacing was routine and proceeded for a period of several hours with all 7 members of his crew working tirelessly and efficiently performing their various tasks. Each member of Mr. Golobo’s crew was friendly and highly professional to a fault. It was a pleasure to have this kind of work atmosphere while this job was being completed, and I missed the crew when they departed! It goes without saying that I would unequivocally recommend Capital Paving and Construction to any homeowner in need of a driveway resurfacing! "

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.
Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion
Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.
Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.
Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.
Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.
Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.
Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.
Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.
They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.
