"Hecht Masonry repaired the brick half-wall in the front of our home. After driving an hour and 40 minutes to get here, he worked 16 hours to finish the job and it looks great. We appreciated Gavin's courtesy, professionalism and skill and would highly recommend Hecht Masonry."

"Robert has consistently provided exceptional service.  I first hired him because he was the only one who quickly recognized the unique bricks needed for the repair I requested, and he did such an amazing job with the repair that we did not paint over his work (which makes this the only unpainted brickwork in our home's exterior).  I subsequently hired him to repair the exposed areas of our limestone foundation, which had decayed considerably over the decades.  Again, he did a great job.  After doing this, he suggested some maintenance to my exterior which I would not have even noticed.  I waited a year before having him do it, but now realize how much work needed to be done and appreciate his service.
I am fairly meticulous and reluctant to endorse somebody, but I would strongly recommend Robert for masonry work.  In addition to his exceptional service, he is a really good guy!

"I have used Forsberg Concrete and Masonry for two separate projects. First project was to install a couple sidewalks around my home. Erik and team were informative, professional and delivered great customer service with fabulous results. After completing that job, I did not hesitate on going with Forsberg Concrete again for my second project of pouring the floor in my pole shed. Again, the same top-notch installation from Erik and team. I will use them again for all my concrete/masonry needs."

"No one likes to spend hard earned dollars to raise concrete. Our case was no different. Mark and Nick were great. Hardworking. Willing to address our concerns. that were not specifically spelled out as well as they should have been by Tyler, our adjuster. We had documented all conversations and Mark made the corrections as needed. No surprise overages. Thank you."

"This spring we were in search of a company to pour a concrete patio as we were removing our old floating deck. We came across Clark Companies at the White Bear Home Show @ The Hippodrome. They followed up promptly afterwards and set a time to come out for a quote. They answered all our questions and helped us envision what it could look like. They were the only company we had out that actually cared (the others you probably hear advertised all the time). If you're here because you are researching them you can see they do this all the time and they do it well. They gave us many options to choose from for the patio & other items to complete the project (I.e stairs or grass seed). During the installation they were very professional and consulted with us along the way to make sure we were happy before all was said and done. Thank you Clark Companies! We look forward to enjoying our new space for years to come!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

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.

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

Yes, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.
