"In Aug./Sep. 2019, Rogers Masonry did a tear-down of our decrepit stuccoed chimney, followed by a beautiful brick re-build. The project posed some every unique challenges that Roger handled with a high level of professionalism and diligence. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in all chimney-related matters and provided almost-daily progress reports to document the work his crew was performing. His communication was exemplary, and he was responsive to our questions/concerns, all of which he promptly addressed. We were especially appreciative of the many pictures of the ongoing work that Roger provided throughout the project. We have already had the opportunity to make a referral for Roger and hope to work with him on another chimney project in 2020."

"We are extremely pleased with the work that Hardline Concrete and Masonry completed for us. Jon and Brenda are wonderful to work with and made a point to ensure our needs were met for our project. Their crew was also very kind and professional. The patio that they installed for us is beautiful and the quality of the work appears to be excellent. We are confident that we will be able to enjoy our new patio for many years to come and will definitely hire Hardline Concrete and Masonry for future projects."

"They tuck pointed and repaired brick steps. The price they charged was less than half of the other estimate we received. ( That is not an exaggeration.) The work was excellent and performed on a timely and efficient basis. They promptly returned calls and otherwise communicated with us on a timely basis. We plan on using them for all brick and masonry projects."

"Robert was by far the most responsive and fairly priced mason who bid on our job. I couldn't believe how responsive he was. It was too bad he couldn't fit in our work in our renovation schedule (the work needs to cure 30 days before paint). Otherwise I'm sure I'd be writing a very happy 'completion' review."

Customers say: True professional

"From receiving the Quote to completion of this project, Absolute Masonry was exceptionally professional, on time, and met our expectations. This family-owned business was so friendly and easy to communicate scheduling the lead time to complete the project. They made us feel our small project was a priority to complete on time. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone needing masonry work large or small. We were very satisfied reviewing the before & after pictures taken by the construction team."

"Donovan was communicative about the start date and as we approached the actual date they started right on time. Demolition was quick but they still took the time to get it right. Re-building and installation was done well and looks perfect. They communicated any challenges they ran into quickly and provided a pricing impact almost immediately. I arrived home each day was given an update on the progress and was walked through what was to happen the next day. They hit the quoted price almost exactly with additional work needed due to unforeseen issues.
The finished product is beautiful and I would not hesitate to use Kingscapes again or recommend them. Really well done.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

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.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.
