"Very impressive! Roger and his team are consummate professionals. We had Roger and several other masonry contractors out in the spring to give bids on the above described work, and were surprised by how high all the quotes were, so we decided to hold off doing the work until later in the year. While Rogers Masonry was not the lowest of the bids, it was competitive. But what really made Roger stand out over the several months between bidding and hiring was his clear knowledge about, and genuine passion for, the work that he does (he's been in the business since 1976 and his lead crew member has been with him for 20 years!). But even more impressive was Roger and team's vast experience working on grand homes throughout the historic Cathedral Hill neighborhood of Saint Paul, and the fact that they actually enjoy working on these older homes?a quality that's increasingly difficult to find in contractors anymore. As a proud owner of an 1894 home in a historic area of Saint Paul, it's no easy feat finding contractors who do excellent work; are true craftsman; are respectful, courteous, and a genuine pleasure to communicate with; and on top of it all actually share your passion for your home and historic architecture in general. Needless to say, I'm thrilled to have found that truly unique combination with Rogers Masonry. Thank you, Roger and team!

"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

"Excellent service by a team of professionals. Our foundation needed repair and it was done quickly and efficiently. The crew of Chase, Logan and John worked non-stop until the job was done. We liked the work so much that we had an additional chimney repair done while they were on-site. Very happy with the results. I would hire Absolute Masonry again if I need masonry work in the future."

"Donovan and team were professional, punctual, preformed grate work and a pleasure to deal with. We had a large 8ft decaying retaining wall in our alley with a 100 year old 60 ft tree bumping up to it. We were quite apprehensive to replace the wall due to the tree. Donovan and team came up with creative approach to replace the wall without disturbing the tree. I highly recommend king Scapes Kevin Korb"

"The best! Had a follow up appointment with Groundworks after the installation of foundation support posts in 2021 - the posts were still perfectly perpendicular and nothing moved or shifted at all. Very impressed with the service, Ben was thorough and he was on time, very professional, polite and made sure to answer all my questions. He gave me a quote for future work that needs to be done, wasn’t pushy, didn’t lie, just presented the facts, and showed me what he was talking about and why it needed to be completed. He presented several options that could fit with our budget. Couldn’t ask for more! Highly recommend!!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, brick walls often add value to a home. For starters, many people love the look of brick walls, so they can enhance your home's aesthetic appeal and add warmth to your property, especially when it aligns with the rest of your neighborhood's look. They also provide privacy and security, which can further increase the resale value of your home.

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

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’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.

Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.
