"Robert has consistently provided exceptional service.  I first hired him because he was the only one who quickly recognized the unique bricks needed for the repair I requested, and he did such an amazing job with the repair that we did not paint over his work (which makes this the only unpainted brickwork in our home's exterior).  I subsequently hired him to repair the exposed areas of our limestone foundation, which had decayed considerably over the decades.  Again, he did a great job.  After doing this, he suggested some maintenance to my exterior which I would not have even noticed.  I waited a year before having him do it, but now realize how much work needed to be done and appreciate his service.
I am fairly meticulous and reluctant to endorse somebody, but I would strongly recommend Robert for masonry work.  In addition to his exceptional service, he is a really good guy!

"Extremely impressed by the service provided. They were kind, respectful and efficient. They cleaned up all of their mess. The men that came out to my home were professional and provided complete perfection in their work. We would highly recommend this company. The neighbors were not disrupted and my family was not inconvenienced during the process. The final presentation after their service was performed was absolutely flawless. They were able to transform an extremely hazardous patio into an area where my young children can now play. Our patio was horrible before they arrived. We actually negotiated $2,500 off the selling price of our home because our patio was not level. We have to cross the patio each time we enter the residences from the garage, and it was something that needed immediate attention. We had several companies out to give us quotes and options. We were told that it would be impossible to lift and told that we had to replace completely. Two companies told us they could lift the patio and quoted is five times what we paid MN Concrete... Literally 5 times as much. Minnesota Concrete Lifting had zero trouble completing the job. After they left, even though it was 60 degrees out, my children went outside and set up their little blue pool that they had not been able to use previously on the patio. I could go on and on raving about how satisfied we are. Do not hesitate to hire Minnesota Concrete Lifting. You will not be disappointed.

"Three stamped concrete patios, one challenging location, and a finished result that exceeded our expectations in every way! We couldn't be happier with the stamped concrete patios and walkways completed by Kali Concrete. From the initial consultation through the final walkthrough, the entire experience was outstanding! Troy and his team were professional, personable, punctual, and clearly took pride in their work. They took the time to explain the process, answer our questions, and make sure every detail was done correctly. The pattern, color, and finish were amazing and looked even better than we had imagined. One of the patios was located in a particularly challenging area of our property, but the crew carefully planned and executed the work with exceptional skill. The layout was thoughtfully designed, the finish work was outstanding, and they took extra time to ensure proper grading, drainage, and a clean overall appearance. The project transformed our outdoor living space!"

"We asked Clark Companies to remove an old timber wall and replace it with blocks. It was an extensive and challenging project of a two-tiered wall with steps. We are so pleased with the creative and beautiful results. The quality construction team worked diligently together for long hours. We were impressed with the quality of their work, with their politeness, and with their character. They were always willing to explain their procedures and answer our questions."

"Safe Basements have been a complete joy to work with, the customer service was professonal and friendly. The assesser was honest, no up selling or down selling. They finished the project 2 weeks after booking. The workmen were effiecent, made sure to cover everything so nothing got covered with dust, they even swept! It got done in exactly the time required and the basement has never looked better. If you need basement work, I couldn't recommend anyone higher."

"Our project was actually a crawlspace encapsulation. We have a lake cabin that was built in the 1960's. It had a dirt floor in the crawlspace with bare block masonry foundation walls. It also had old, damp batt insulation that was falling down from the joist spaces. American Waterworks came in, removed the old insulation (a nasty job!), laid down a 2 layer moisture barrier system and spray foamed the foundation walls and rim joist area. I can't believe what a difference this has made to our air quality, much warmer floors. We used to have to wipe down the windows every morning during the winter because of condensation. Not any more! I would highly recommend this company if you have the same needs!!"

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn’t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white.

Mortar is a mixture of sand and cement that binds materials, such as bricks, stones, and concrete blocks, together. Think of it as the glue that fills in the gaps between bricks and stones, then seals them in place to prevent damage or deterioration. Mortar also helps spread the load across a wall or structure, keeping cracks and shifting at bay.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

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. 

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.
