"We had an attached screened-in porch that was sinking.Acculevel came in and detailed every aspect of the repair project and then followed thru to the most minuet detail. Excellent work and very detail oriented. Friendly and cooperative service team that completed the work. This seemed like what was going to be a complicated job, using augered jacks, concrete removal, and replacing trex floor. ...In a nutshell, they made what seemed hard..very manageableand 100% solved.Excellent service, excellant price......Terry M."

"Nate did an excellent job and repaired some unknown roof damage without charging extra. He is a real professional and very pleasant to work with. He was backed up with work and it took awhile to get him on my job but it was well worth the wait."

"Our experience with Sho Me Builders matched the goals stated here for the business precisely. They built a 13'x11' storm shelter/cellar with a concrete floor and lid, over which we built a post and beam gazebo. When some additional excavation work was needed, Sho Me Builders did the work with extreme care to not damage the structure, trees, or other landscaping in the area. They were extremely pleasant in all interactions. They listened to our wants and needs, and genuinely considered our input while leading with their expertise. The quality of their work was top notch. They were not satisfied until we were completely happy with their work. Sam with Sho Me Buulders would be our definite first choice for any future concrete work and we highly recommend his services to anyone."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Brick houses can last at least 100 years with minimal maintenance. With regular care and attention, including mortar repointing, brick houses can last 500 years or more.

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

Unless you’ve worked in the masonry industry before, it is in your best interest if you hire a pro for any masonry needs. Masonry-related jobs require a high skill level and can be extremely time-consuming. If anything goes wrong, a licensed and insured masonry contractor would be able to take care of the subsequent repairs, giving you additional peace of mind.

This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.
