"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!

"Hardline did an amazing job with our garage floor fix, trench drain, and apron. They went above and beyond to correct the issues from when the original garage floor was poured and failed. I also really enjoyed getting to know the team working on the project, they were very personable and took pride in what they do. The owners, Brenda and Jon, are just great down-to-earth people. I would absolutely recommend Hardline Concrete & Masonry to others!"

"I hired Luke to fill windows wells that we wanted to eliminate. He was thorough in explaining the process to me and was even able to give me a bid using pictures I had sent him (due to COVID-19 we were/are trying to reduce exposure). So many of our home projects that we have tackled with contractors have had some sort of issue (joys of a fixer upper). However, this project went off without a hitch. Luke and his crew were professional, courteous and efficient. Our basement walls look flawless! I will 100% use Severson Masonry again and refer him to others. Thank you for being awesome!!"

Customers say: Super punctual

"Crosstown did our patio with pavers on 2022 and a stunning job. Now they were asked to replace our front sidewalk. While not a large job Greg the owner bid it two ways- once with pavers and also with concrete. We elected concrete. When you experience real talent as a home owner you have to shout it from the rooftop. Eric Baca who oversees the concrete division oversaw the removal, framing and pour of the concrete. Just four slabs. The icing on the cake is the skill of his artistry in agreeing to edge my sidewalk with California edge. While they do not usually do this he used his long ago skill to give us the most beautiful walk to our home. He did it himself and I am forever grateful. If I could give 10 stars I would. Execution of every step along the way by Eric was perfection. Thank you Eric!"

"This was not an easy job! The granite patio is absolutely beautiful. Some other contractors wouldn't even talk about using that product. Al and team were prompt, professional and competitively priced. When we ran into a minor misunderstanding on finishing work, he made sure I was absolutely happy with the result before he called it a job. I wholeheartedly endorse Goodfellows."

"We are very happy with our new retaining wall and concrete steps! Tom and his crew persevered through many challenges to fill a giant hole that was more serious than anyone had realized! They built a beautiful new retaining wall and poured concrete steps. They created an underground drainage system that will prevent future problems with water erosion. We had formerly worked with a different business to repair the hole but their efforts were not successful over time. We wish we had called Tom first. We have received numerous compliments from neighbors and people passing by on our new, improved front yard steps and wall. Even the mailman was impressed!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.

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.

You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn’t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.
