"We hired Hoffman Concrete based on a recommendation from the "Handyman STL" Facebook group to seal our new concrete driveway, walkways, and porches. We sought out multiple bids -- the first used a less-than-ideal type of sealant that completely alters the appearance of the concrete, a second bid used big-box hardware store off-the-shelf sealant, the third bid used a quality sealer (but was twice the price of Hoffman). That leaves me with Hoffman. They use an industrial-grade penetrating silicone/siloxane concrete sealant that has been used on highways in neighboring states. Given their reasonable price point, it certainly made the most sense. Communication came via direct text message with one of their office staff using one of their personal cell phones (as opposed to the typical game of finding the right person to talk to at an office). This made scheduling and payment incredibly easy. A quality job at a reasonable price. Can't ask for more!"

"Jason from Quacker's arrived ON TIME to repair the foundation crack. He took a look at it, and told me that it was a minor crack. Jason told me to go to the hardware store and buy a $5.00 tube of caulk and seal it up myself. Instead of charging me for a professional repair that I didn't need, he TOLD ME THE TRUTH and saved me a ton of money! Quacker's has earned my trust. If I need any of the services that they offer, I *will* call them again!"

"Atlas did a fantastic job. Mike accurately diagnosed the problem (a foundation crack hiding behind wood paneling) and patiently explained it to us new homeowners. For the repair itself, he arrived on time, applied epoxy efficiently, and dealt with some unexpected obstacles. (Some flooring needed to be removed to -literally - get to the bottom of the issue.) Our neighbor highly recommended Atlas, and we see why!"

"Finishing Touch Landscaping exceeded all my expectations! Our property had a problem of water runoff causing serious soil erosion that required some excavation, installation of an extended drainage system, installation of railroad ties, topsoil and regrading. The cost estimate was very competitive with other local landscapers and all work was done in a very professional manner. Frank Davis is more than just a landscaper; he is an experienced problem-solver and came up with suggestions that added value to the project without exceeding the budget. He has experienced workmen and makes it his business to supervise the project in person."

"It went very well. Tom did a great job designing a patio I never would have imagined in an otherwise useless area of our yard, helping to make more of our property functional. Tom did a great job putting up with all my questions and tweaks to the material and design, and in the end we essentially went with his original proposal, highlighting his judgement and experience with these types of projects. We have a few items to follow up with, but I will likely be using his services for future projects and landscape issues."

"We had a crack in our foundation, called aculevel, man was very personable and told us it wasn’t a problem at all and we can even fix it ourselves-tuck pointing. I was so relieved! He literally could have told me I needed thousands of dollars worth of repair."

"The crew showed up on time and was very professional.  They were able to get the work corrected and pointed out a cheaper route to fix the foundation first before trying a more expensive solution.  Definitely would use again.

"It turned out really well. I had them do a cedar deck, and it comes off a four season room so it works really work. They do good work, and Kimberlin has good people working for them and they are responsible. I have recommended them to people. Their prices are competitive. You get good work for their price!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

Yes, as long as the cut is clean and the brick remains structurally sound, you can reuse it. Reusing brick is especially common for landscaping, edging, and small masonry repairs. Just make sure to file down any sharp edges before handling or installing it.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.
