"It's only right that I write a five-star review for the exceptional masonry and tuckpoint work done on my brick porch by the skilled team at Charlie's Tuckpointing and Bricklaying. Charlie took the time to thoroughly inspect my porch and explain the recommended repairs in detail. From the initial consultation to the final touches, Charlie and his team were professional, prompt, and meticulous. The team's years of experience and high-level craftsmanship are reflected in the miracle work done on my porch. They skillfully repaired and replaced damaged bricks, creating a seamless blend with the existing ones. The tuckpointing work was equally impressive, restoring my porch to its former glory. Charlie even patched up some concrete steps and didn't charge me. Not only was the team's workmanship outstanding, but they took great care to ensure that my property was left clean at the end of each workday. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of their work. Charlie's customer service was also outstanding. He was always available to answer any questions and kept me informed throughout the project. Overall, I'm happy with the work done on my porch by Charlie's Tuckpointing. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for masonry and tuckpointing services. They are an honest, hard-working team of skilled professionals dedicated to delivering quality work and exceptional customer service. Charlie is veteran friendly, and his rates are more than reasonable. He and his crew are the people's champs, and I can't praise them highly enough."

"Mr Fox was professional, courtesy and delivered quality work. He cleaned up and protected the work area with tarps. Would recommend him highly and would use him again for tuckpointing and brick or stone masonry."

"We spoke with a variety of companies for bids to fix four decorative brick stacks at our home that were crumbling. It was evident that Ga’nesha at ASAP Tuckpointing, LLC was the most knowledgeable and professional person we spoke with. She scheduled Martinez to come to our home and give us a bid. They were able to work with us on the fee to make it affordable to us as we really wanted to use this company. Martinez did a beautiful job matching and replacing all broken bricks as well as finishing them off beautifully and sealing them. We were 100% happy with this company and the job they performed at our home. We highly recommend them!"

"It went very well, the whole project completed in one day and they cleaned everything up. What I especially liked is that they paid as much attention to the smaller aspects of the job as they did to the major ones. Their price was very fair compared to other bids I had gotten And they were very polite. I would highly recommend them for concrete work."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

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.

Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.

Choosing the right paint color for your brick house can be a daunting task. A great strategy is to find painted brick houses that you like and try to replicate the look by researching their colors or asking the homeowners for the specific paint color code.

If you're looking for specific ideas, several colors work well on brick. Different shades of white, such as off-white or cream-white, can create a modern, timeless, and classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. For a more contemporary aesthetic, you might consider a matte black tone. Other popular choices include gray, blue, and sage green.

Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.
