"I was so impressed with THRE BROTHERS MASONRY everything was explained to me on details price was fair and the gentlemen were so kind and professional I highly recommend this company."
"We are very pleased with Leo and his team. They replaced our old concrete walkway with a beautiful stone and brick walkway. They were so professional, talented and turn around time between the free quote and the project being done was about a month. Highly recommended"
"David did a beautiful job. My chimney was falling apart. He rebuilt it and made it look like a work of art! He's a good communicator and a very hard worker!"
"Wowza. That's what sums up my experience with Marc Michaud of Maine Coast Masonry. From start to finish, Marc was the consummate professional as well as just an overall super genuine person. I had Marc completely rebuild two entranceways to my home, as the stairs were extremely outdated. He took out the old concrete slabs and replaced them with beautiful stonework. One of the things I like best about Marc is that he's an authentic mason. Marc does things old school. He comes from a long line of masons and knows how do construct and fabricate using methodologies that work and last. I'm already looking at additional projects I want to hire him to do! He's that good."
"Chris and his crew did an excellent job laying a new patio for me. Wasn't a big job but they took the time and attention that was needed and I am thrilled with the results! Chris was very easy to work with...it was a pleasure. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone."
"Tim is one of the best we have worked with. I would not hesitate to hire him again. Good communication, easy to work with, listens to us, has great suggestions, has high standards for the work he performs, and above all: DOES WHAT HE SAYS HE WILL DO. He is flexible when the inevitable change comes into play, and always goes the extra mile. Don't hesitate to hire Tim - it is difficult to find quality and ease of interaction like this."
"They were lengthening my Driveway. They had done the driveway 4 years ago and had done a very good job. I rehired then to extend the driveway. In the process the machines they used damage the old Driveway. They did not tell my wife who was at home or contacted me to tell me. This upset me more than the damage did. I had to text him/ email email him. He did say he would repair and seal coat the driveway. He has partially repaired the driveway, they missed one spot. He is to return in week or two and seal the Driveway. If the damage had not happen I would have given 5 stars"
You can use a regular drill to make pilot holes for gutter brackets in the wooden fascia board around the top of your house, but it’s not the best tool for brick. Instead, you’ll need a heavy-duty power tool like a hammer drill with a carbide tip bit.
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.
Brick and stone are durable, low-maintenance materials that offer excellent insulation, aesthetic appeal, and can increase property value.
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.
Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.
