"The price was fair. When they originally came to do it, there was not enough road gravel down so we had to have the other guy come back and redo that. We kept getting a promise date and then they wouldn't show. It took a while to get them back so we were a little disappointed with them. We couldn't reach them. We would leave messages and they wouldn't call back. Since we missed our first opportunity, then we got pushed back and they took care of the other places. They should have responded and let us know. When they finally did come the crew was great and the finished product was good. The pricing was in the ballpark. This was set up through our contractor. They did finally come when they said but it took 3 times. We might look for somebody else in the future."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Using rock salt or chloride-based deicers accelerates brick spalling and mortar deterioration. Piling snow against your foundation or chimney during Marquette winters keeps the materials saturated, which drives severe freeze-thaw damage. Chipping away ice dams with metal tools destroys mortar joints. You also risk chronic moisture damage by directing downspouts toward your foundation, planting vegetation against stone surfaces, or applying non-breathable paints that trap water inside.

Helpful?

Watch for hairline cracks in mortar joints, as MI experiences severe freeze-thaw cycles that rapidly expand small openings. White salt deposits on brick faces indicate active water movement that precedes structural degradation. You must also look for horizontal or stair-step cracks in basement walls, which signal serious frost heave pressure. Address deteriorated chimney mortar immediately, as heavy snow loads drive water into the framing and cause extensive interior damage.

Helpful?

Hire a licensed contractor for masonry work who has specific experience handling Upper Peninsula fieldstone and Lake Superior sandstone. Your professional must understand local frost depth requirements for deep footings. Confirm they carry workers' compensation insurance. Ensure they follow the Marquette building permit process for structural projects. A reputable local expert understands winter construction limits and uses proper heating enclosures to apply mortar safely when temperatures drop.

Helpful?

Inspect your property every spring after the frost heave season ends to identify new cracks, shifted stones, or white salt deposits. During the short MI summer, schedule necessary masonry work for any damaged foundation or chimney mortar. In the fall, seal all cracks and repoint deteriorated joints before freezing temperatures return. Throughout the winter, monitor your walls and chimneys for active water infiltration or ice dams without disturbing the materials.

Helpful?

To keep your family safe during masonry work, establish a secure work zone. Marquette experiences windy shoreline conditions that spread hazardous silica dust across yards. Keep children and pets indoors while contractors cut stone. You must also clear away sharp debris from local sandstone and sand materials that cause paw irritation. Secure excavated areas around foundations, as ground frost heaving creates unstable soil that poses a serious fall risk.
