"During his free inspection and estimate, Ian took the time to enlighten us about wood foundations and the problems he saw, one of which we'd ovelooked. During the repairs, Shane and Dominick were equally generous with explanations, and ended each day with a summary of work done and plans for the following day. All were very pleasant to deal with, and made the whole experience as painless as possible. Our county inspector, looking at the work on the problem Ian spotted, said it was lucky we caught it when we did, and assured us we were in good hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend this company."

"This job was completed efficiently and professionally. A design specialist came to test and measure every detail for the project. The crew arrived with everything needed for the job. They worked very hard to install Waterguard in the concrete floors inside around the foundation to the sump pump basket. They also installed Geo-lock anchors to support a block wall that was bowed. This company has 36 years in business and provides excellent results and professional customer relations. Call Amer. Wtrwrks for a free estimate. You will not be disappointed. A wise investment of $11,270."

"I first called Crosstown concrete because of the great ratings found on Angies list. He was booked up through the winter so he recommended his son, Jeff. I am glad he did. Jeff came right out and met with us. We wanted a curved sidewalk with colored concrete along with the steps. We wanted something special to go along with our newly remodeled home. Jeff understood immediately what we wanted (unlike other contractors we had estimate the job). he was excited and gave us great input about the layout and design.
when we saw the finished job, he and his excellent crew blew us away. It exceeded our expectations.
after the job, one of his crew came on a Sunday and added black dirt and regraded the yard.
Excellent job!!
I will call him next spring to do some landscaping for me. I highly recommend Jeff Pietig for any concrete work"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.
