"Gavin Hecht was highly knowledgeable about the job to be done. He arrived precisely at the appointed time and did the complete job in one day, going above and beyond my expectations for the job content. His work was excellent in appearance and quality. I would recommend Hecht's Masonry LLC for brick, cement block and retaining wall structures of masonry materials."

"This whole project could not have gone smoother for us. From Adam L. helping us understand the process and getting us scheduled to Isaiah S. and Matt N. doing the work on site, we couldn't have been more pleased. All three gentlemen were friendly, professional and answered all of my (many) questions. I highly recommend Innovative Basement Authority...I wish I could give 6 stars."

"Bryce and his team were very professional and knew exactly what they were doing. They consulted with us on the whole aspect of the project and brought the concerns to us when it seemed like our choices might not be the right choice. Overall, they were very friendly and we were very satisfied with the patio paver + fire pit installed."

"Our project was actually a crawlspace encapsulation. We have a lake cabin that was built in the 1960's. It had a dirt floor in the crawlspace with bare block masonry foundation walls. It also had old, damp batt insulation that was falling down from the joist spaces. American Waterworks came in, removed the old insulation (a nasty job!), laid down a 2 layer moisture barrier system and spray foamed the foundation walls and rim joist area. I can't believe what a difference this has made to our air quality, much warmer floors. We used to have to wipe down the windows every morning during the winter because of condensation. Not any more! I would highly recommend this company if you have the same needs!!"

"Klint and crew did an excellent job!! I had major drainage issues around my detached garage. The area wasn't prepared correctlly when the garage was built 10+ years ago.. Klint knew exactly how to fix the problem. It looks great and will be much better now. Also, the bid/estimate was very reasonable. I would hire Wolf Creek Dirt 'Works again if/when I need any land prep work. Thanks Klint!"

"We could not be happier with the outcome of this project! Keenan and his team saved us from a DIY project that we bit off more than we could chew. He came out and gave us a quote less than 24 hours after reaching out to him and was able to get started on the project the following weekend. He was willing to work with the materials we had already purchased saving us the headache of returning everything. When we ran into issues with our pavers he took it upon himself to remedy the issue with the home improvement store the materials were purchased through. Again, going above and beyond what was agreed upon. He was upfront with cost changes as the project progressed and was cognizant on where he could save us money. We would, with not doubt, hire Keenan again."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

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.

If you’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.
