Is brick stain permanent?

Q: What are the benefits of brick or stone siding?

• <div><p>These materials are durable, low-maintenance, and offer excellent insulation and aesthetic appeal.</p></div>

Q: What is the dimension of an average brick?

• <div><p>A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to worry about black stains on my bricks?

• <div><p>Yes. Black stains are more than an eyesore. Some black stains can pose health concerns, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Some stains can also damage the brick&rsquo;s structural integrity, harming the mortar and resulting in more expensive repairs.</p></div>

Q: What type of drill is best for brick?

• <div><p>The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you&rsquo;re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.</p></div>

Very well. Cost was as estimated, quality was high and responsiveness was good. This is a very reliable contractor who delivers quality work as promised on time. We are glad we chose them over two other estimated offers.

Greg did a wonderful job. He planned and executed installing steps and a retaining wall/curb alongside the back of our garage. It helps us move from the front to the back of our property without having to tiptoe down a hill and cracked wall. Also, it looks great.

"It went well. It was wonderful to see a family work together like that father and two sons they got along with. They got the job done. I wanted to pitch in and help myself sometimes just because it's something I used to do. I had to force myself to stand back and just let them do their work. I would absolutely hire them again. It was a pleasure to have them out here. I even cooked them a barbecue one day. It was awesome."
