"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."

"Greg and his crew did a great job tearing out my old slab and replacing it with pavers. They worked quickly, in spite of rain delays, and finished the job in a few days. I'm very happy with the result, and would recommend them."

"Tom and his team did a terrific job in our backyard. They replaced our aging patio and even found a way to make it bigger without harming the two large trees in our backyard. When we were looking to add a fence and gate at the bottom of our sloped backyard, they figured out a unique corner wall situation that looks like it had been part of the plan the whole time. Tom is a great communicator and kept us updated on a regular basis about what was happening with the project. We would gladly work with Sirek Landscaping again!"

Customers say: Quality work

"We hired Tony and his crew from Form and Pour Cement Works and couldn't be happier. When my wife and I moved into our home, we quickly discovered some major drainage issues that needed to be addressed right away. Tony and his team regraded and pour a new cement patio, front sidewalk and steps to our entryway, and replaced the first 12 feet of slab in front of our garage. We were impressed with Tony's hardwork-ethic, skill, and craftsman ship, as well as the speed of their work. We now have all of our water grading issues accounted for and will be able to enjoy our new concrete work for years to come. We highly recommend Form and Pour Concrete Works! You won't be disappointed."

We did a stamped concrete with a difficult to work with stamping style and Troy and his team took on the challenge and executed exactly what we wanted! Now we have an amazing, unique patio that everyone compliments constantly! We love it!"

"Randy Gardner responded immediately to my request for a visit and estimate. He looked inside and outside, and told me I did not need to go to the expense of the drain tile and waterproofing. He said the house (build in 1917) had settled, and that the sidewalk along the side of the house was sinking toward the house, resulting in the water in the basement. He recommended removing the existing sidewalk, and laying new concrete with the proper slope away from the house. Although it was not a cheap fix, it was half of what I feared it would cost. The crew was on time, efficient, and did a great job. I highly recommend G Gardner Concrete and Waterproofing!"

"Jason created a great plan for the space around our home after a major addition. His bid was competitive. Jason was onsite with his team for most of the project overseeing the installation. They laid plastic and river rock in areas along with mulch in others. Plantings were then added. We are really happy with the finished product and are planning to use Jason in the spring to do additional plantings in other areas of our yard and to install a water feature."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.
