"I contracted DeGain Masonry to do a paver patio in my back yard. The finished project turned out better than I could have ever expected… very precise and meticulous. Clint was quick to return my calls, started and finished the project when promised and was more than accommodating in every way. I am a particular customer with high expectations of those I hire. That being said, I would highly recommend DeGain Masonry."

"Stevens Masonry did an excellent job rebuilding the porch from start to finish. The demo, form work, and concrete pour were all handled professionally, and the crew stayed on task throughout the project. Communication was consistent, they arrived when they said they would, and the work area was kept clean during and after the job. The final result matched the scope we discussed and was completed with solid craftsmanship. I would confidently choose them again for future projects!"

"Good communication, professional, courteous and clean up was thorough. We waited a few months before doing a rating to experience a few heavy rains. We are extremely happy with having a dry usable basement. We usually don't do ratings but All Ways Dry exceeded our expectations!"

"Overall, Gary and his team were really excellent.  Gary provided us with a quote in November 2015 with the expectation to complete the project in spring 2016.  When the snow started to melt, we setup a date for the work to begin.  Gary did not deviate from the project timing and his communication leading up to and during the project was A+.  

Total project time was 5 days.  This was a big job that required excavating a large amount of clay, all by hand with no mechanical equipment because of the way our home is situated next to our neighbor's driveway.  Prior to starting the excavation, the crew did an excellent job placing boards on my lawn and a small portion of the neighbor's driveway (pavers) which resulted in no damage to both grass and driveway.  I truly appreciated how conscientious Gary and his crew were during the entire week to ensure that the excavation did not have any lasting impact to the surrounding area.   Every day, Gary kept me posted on his progress and on the 2 occasions I did meet with him, he provided me a rundown of the process, next steps and answered all of my numerous questions.  Gary also had a permit pulled for the work and it was inspected by West Bloomfield Township during and after project completion (passed).  Gary and his team also did a few extras including; removing large slabs of concrete left by the original builder which could have adversely impacted the new drainage system, fixing my garden hose and sealing a sub surface downspout leak.  This in addition to doing an amazing cleanup job, highlighted by carefully sweeping and washing down my neighbor's driveway of any residual dirt.  

In the end, we had no mishaps or unexpected issues and work was completed on time and at the agreed upon cost.  Having done some research on the most effective way to waterproof a basement, I believe that Atlantic Coast's methods appear to be in line with best industry practices.  Atlantic provides a lifetime guarantee on their work, and I am confident that should we ever have any issue (based on the work, we do not expect any), we are confident that Gary will stand by his work and word and correct the issue.  I hope that I never have to use Atlantic Coast's services again, but if I do have any type of waterproofing issue, I will be sure to contact Atlantic Coast first!

"Elon inspected my foundation to determine what walls were holding water. He took measurements and took time to share a video of the repair he was recommending. I will have four anchors installed on the problem wall at a very fair price."

"Steve and his team did an excellent job on our project, which included adding insulation to our attic spaces, sealing the attic and basement, removing old insulation in the basement, and treating the basement for mold. Steve helped us feel comfortable and confident about the work that needed to be done to the house. Joe and Rick did excellent work on the project, which was completed quickly. Would work with again!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Initially, brick staining is not cheaper than painting. However, while it has a higher up-front cost, it may be more cost-effective in the long run. Brick stain can last for 20 years or longer, compared to paint, which usually starts to peel away in three to five years.

On average, a well-built brick mailbox can last between 30 and 100 years. The insert that holds mail inside the mailbox may last 15 to 25 years before it needs to be replaced. If a mailbox needs to be fixed due to damage, make sure you know who to hire for brick repair.

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.
