What kind of bricks do you need for a brick oven?

• <div><p>Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case. </p></div>

Q: Is rock salt corrosive?

• <div><p>Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. </p></div>

Q: Should I drill into the brick or the mortar joints?

• <div><p>You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick&mdash;something that&rsquo;s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it&rsquo;s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-anchors-for-brick.htm">brick anchoring</a>, you'll need to check the manufacturer&rsquo;s recommendations and adjust accordingly.</p></div>

Q: Can you do German schmear on stone?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth keeping old bricks?

• <div><p>If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they&rsquo;ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You&rsquo;d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won&rsquo;t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.</p></div>

I contacted Jacob about re-grading and adding more gravel to my 180ft driveway. He graded it to get the potholes leveled out and brought in 15 ton of stone to add to it. Packed down great and we have not had any issues with standing water or ruts from driving on it with our cars. Will definitely...

Seagate hauled in 10 ton of gravel by hand in 5 gallon buckets and fixed all problems with crawlspace that the previous owner did not want to do. Seagate tore off old roof and leaking skyline and reroofed house in one day. Also what the previous owner did not want to do. Seagate pricing is great...

Brothers installed six old single pane glass windows in the cellar of a 1900's basement with thick stone foundation. They did a great job of mortaring the new block into the old openings, and the price and work was as quoted.

I would have probably used him, except for the timing. The other company was able to do the work right away. He seemed honest and I liked his attitude. He was very responsive, punctual, and professional. I would use Hartman Brick & Stone in the future.

They were extremely prompt, knowledgeable and skilled at their work and cleaned up well when finished. They laid 1,400 sf of natural stone and it looks great. I am considering using them for additional tile work.
