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: Is brick staining cheaper than painting?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What are different types of masonry?

• <div><p>Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.</p></div>

Q: Do bricks crack over time?

• <div><p>Yes, bricks can crack over time. While spotting a crack (or several) might be nerve-wracking, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">cracked bricks</a> aren&rsquo;t always cause for concern. In fact, it&rsquo;s normal to see a few small cracks as your foundation settles. However, if the cracks are getting wider or longer or you keep finding new ones, you should have a masonry professional inspect them right away. You should also contact a pro if you notice any large or vertical cracks in your bricks.</p></div>

Q: Why can’t I drill into the brick?

• <div><p>Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.</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.
