"Charlie and his crew arrived on time and finished in the allotted time that they said they would. They did an excellent job with the masonry and the tuck pointing, and they cleaned up completely after they were finished. I would definitely hire them again and recommend them."

"We had this contractor out to tuckpoint our chimney. Martinez and Joseph were both very polite, attentive and professional. Their work was so good that we referred them to do the same type job for a family member. We had gotten several other quotes, their price was very competitive. Highly recommend them."

"Adrian of Vargas Masonry and Roofing stopped by to provide an estimate for tuckpointing and chimney work on our historic Centennial Home. Adrian and Marie were prompt with a very competitive estimate which we accepted. They were both very receptive to addressing any questions or concerns we had prior to, during and for the final walkthrough. The crew performing the work very professional, very considerate to our property and provided us continuous updates as to the work being performed. The work performed consisted of tuckpointing two sides of the house along with chimney work and placing a cap on the two chimneys. As stated in a previous review, Vargas was honest, on time, and competitively priced! I'll continue to use Vargas Masonry and Roofing for the future work that I need on the interior brickwork and interior limestone foundation of our historic home."

"KCB Masonry & Tuckpointing did an amazing job! They listened to what I wanted to have done and made sure that it made sense for our yard. I had them install some concrete steps from scratch in my backyard. They were a fraction of the cost compared to the other guys that claimed that they were the best in the biz. These guys showed up for the quotes and job as they said they would. I lost count how many times they used levels and tape measures to get everything right. Just imagine watching someone make one tiny tweak to what they are doing and then level and measure every time. Well worth the money and I will hire them again. I will recommend to family and friends as well. Do yourself a favor and hire these guys, you’ll be happy that you did. I am! I’d give 10 Stars for the rating if I could."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

When it comes to how to paint a brick chimney, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.

Landscape boulders, especially porous stones like sandstone or granite, can crack or break over time. Cracks occur when water seeps into the surface of the stone and freezes. The risk is highest when it rains during the day and temperatures freeze overnight since the moisture has time to penetrate deeper into the rock before expanding.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

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.
