"I contacted The Crack Team for foundation wall crack waterproofing after finding water near our utility lines and basement corner. They arrived on time, answered all my questions, and did clean work. What impressed me most was how respectful and honest the crew was throughout the whole process. The leaking stopped completely and the area looks great now."

"Gary Lustig is the owner of Atlantic Coast Waterproofing, Inc.  When he came to our house to inspect our basement and give us a quote for the repairs, he was very thorough in educating us on the cause of the leaks in our walls. It was a problem we had been battling for the last ten years.  His approach to the problem made sense to us. He quoted us a price to do the job and did not at any time add to his original quote.  He pulled a permit with the City of Troy and his work passed all inspections the first time--both during the process and at the completion.  He was ready to start the work on the date we had agreed upon and then graciously allowed us two additional days to prepare the basement since we weren't ready before he started our job. Gary was always willing to explain to us exactly what they were doing and why and always asked if we had any questions about the project. He finished the project on time! His workmen were polite and hardworking. At our house, because there are no windows that open in the basement, only glass block windows, Gary and his workers had to hand carry up the stairs endless buckets filled with cement chunks that had been excavated along the entire perimeter of the basement of our large ranch house to make a trench so that the Aqua-Flow Floor System could be installed.  Then, once it was installed, they mixed concrete and hand carried buckets of wet cement down to the basement to fill in the trench.  The cement finisher did a perfect job of joining the new cement to the rest of the basement floor. Gary and his workers did a great job of cleaning up every day leaving as little a mess as possible. One of his workers broke a hinge on our basement door as he was removing it to allow easier access to the basement, and he personally purchased a new hinge and installed it.  We were very impressed with his honesty.  We felt we were being given a fair price when we signed the contract with Atlantic Coast, but after seeing how hard everyone worked breaking up cement and carrying buckets of cement up and down the stairs, we thought the pricing seemed like a true bargain. This was not a job that we could ever have done ourselves. The best part of this whole project though is the fact that the leaks are now contained and in the especially rainy weeks we have had since completion of the job, the floor has been perfectly dry. We no longer cringe when storms come and wonder how much water we will have to mop up. We have recommended Atlantic Coast Waterproofing to others and will continue to do so.

"Absolutely excellent service! After noticing that water was coming into my chimney when it rained, I started seeking inspections and estimates to figure out the scope of the problem. Pisani Contracting was the only one that offered a range of work options, rather than only the most drastic and expensive one, and while I did opt in the end to have the chimney rebuilt rather than patched, the offer was much appreciated. Despite the crazy conditions of late 2021, between weather delays due to rain, material shortages, and a packed schedule of work, Greg and his crew managed to fit the repair in and completed it in just two days. The whole team was very professional, and on top of the chimney work, they even touched up a few spots of masonry around the exterior of the house! The final product looks amazing, and it completely fixed the issues I was having. I would recommend Pisani Contracting to anyone looking to get an estimate on work done, and should I need any further repairs at my house, I will give them a call first thing. Just make sure you call from a Michigan number: having moved from out of state, the cell phone I use for most calls does not have a Michigan area code, and every time I called trying to schedule an estimate, the call went to voice mail; it was only when I called from my work number, which does have a Michigan area code, that I was able to get through to set things up. I'm glad I did, though, since I'm extremely pleased with the work done!"

"We needed to replace a long front porch and contacted Alex gave several options and we decided to go with brick pavers. Alex had a number of good suggestions and had sample of brick to choose from. The crew demolished the old porch and built the new paver porch in one day. We arte very happy with the result and would recommend All Brick Design."

"The old deck was a mess, I am so glad I did not try to remove that beast myself. The Design One team worked around my whole house. Replaced front side walk, added a nice planter bed, added a side walk on the side (not flat cement), and put together a very nice stone patio in back. We are very happy with the work that the team performed. There was one stone that was out of stock this time of year and I plan on hiring the team back once this stone is available again for the back edge of the backyard."

"The job was a very lengthy job due to how much was being bricked. It was an extremely hard job due to the location and getting the flow properly done from the porch which was in the front of the house, winding all the way to the back along the garage and to the patio. They did a fantastic job on everything. It looks beautiful. I even called them back for a few repairs and they were prompt to get here and to take care any problems. I would definitely recommend Austin Brick Pavers to do your job!"

"Great Job Tarek and crew. Rectified sinking pavers on drive and patio area and the whole job looks better than when first installed by another paver. Wish we had known about It's the Brick Guys when it was originally installed. Super happy, and the added 'touch' on the patio to improve a small wall was brilliant. These guys know what they're doing and do it well. Thanks guys. Impressed!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. 

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.

No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause.
