"Chase J., James M. and Tanner S. called when they were coming, and showed up to do the work. They explained everything actually recommended putting piers on the inside of my garage, instead of outside to better match my concrete and only have to dig out in one spot, which actually saved me a little money. They finished the work in timely manner and was a nice job and cleaned up afterwards. highly recommend, this company."

"We had a rental property that needed foundation wall stabilization, basement slab repair/partial replacement and garage floor replacement. Very reasonably priced, and accepting to change orders. With all the changes throughout the project, still came in at bid price. Very customer service oriented."

"We set up an appointment with Rick to get an estimate on some work we needed completed on our basement. Rick was honest with us and told us he wouldn't be able to handle the project. After he left, he called us back because he had looked up the name and number of a company that the thought could help us. I would recommend this company based on their honesty and willingness to help even if they aren't going to profit from the project."

"Professional! Andrew recognized the root cause of the water entering the basement while other foundation experts were charging thousands more and never addressed the root cause. Andrew executed a simple yet elegant solution. The cost again was highly reasonable. Highly recommended."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best way to clean creosote from brick is to hire a professional chimney sweep. However, you can use a creosote log to remove excess buildup between cleanings. You can also clean minor creosote buildup using dish soap or vinegar mixed with water.

You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength.
