"Exceptional Concrete Lifting Service by Foundation Systems of Michigan I recently had FSM perform concrete lifting (also known as or polyjacking) on my cracked and sinking walkway and driveway, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the entire process was seamless and professional. Here’s what stood out: Flawless Results: My walkway and driveway is now perfectly level! The difference is night and day, and it has completely eliminated the tripping hazard that was present before. The work looks clean, and the structural integrity is fully restored. Professional and Skilled Team: The crew, led by Jason R, and his great assistant Chad D arrived promptly, were courteous, and clearly experts in their field. They took the time to explain every step of the process."

Customers say: Terrific value

"Scott painted the wood trim of my home, required a lot of work restoring and replacement of wood. Looked amazing when it was completed! He identified many areas that will need repair as well which I will have him correct as well. He also tuck pointed brick on the side of the house, again looks amazing. I am extremely happy with the work he has done."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

It’s called cobblestone because it’s made of stones that are “cobbed” together. A cob is a term that refers to rounded lumps. Originally, cobblestone streets were made from pebbles and stones gathered from riverbeds that had been rounded over time by the passage of water. The term has nothing to do with a cobbler, which is the term for someone who makes and fixes shoes.

On average, a quality exterior brick stain can last between 10 and 20 years, and sometimes even longer. While it will look its best for a minimum of three to five years, its total lifespan depends on several factors. These include the quality and type of stain used, the condition of the brick, and the thoroughness of the surface preparation, such as proper cleaning. Following the manufacturer's application instructions and applying a sealant as a final step is also crucial. The stain's longevity can be affected by your location, climate, and the brick's exposure to harsh weather, high traffic, and other elements. Over time, the stain may begin to fade or look dingy due to weathering, erosion, dirt, and debris. Compared to paint, brick stain generally has a longer lifespan.

Brick is the closest choice when seeking to capture the timeless look of stone with a more practical and budget-friendly option. When comparing stone versus brick siding, the price range of $200,000 to $400,000 for average brick home construction is dramatically lower compared to the cost of building a stone home. If you'd like to keep the stone aesthetic without the cost, stone veneer and manufactured stone are both less expensive than real stone.

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.
