"Charles did an excellent job in replacing my deteriorating chimney. Not only did he promptly return my call, he came by the same day to assess the problem. He was thorough and professional. He scheduled the work quickly and did a fantastic job. I will be recommending him to all my friends who need Tuckpointing or masonry services. Great job, Charles! Thank you."

"Martinez is very professional, he is on time and he does very good work. Real nice guy too. Not the least expensive as well as not the most expensive proposal I received for my chimney, but still, a very reasonable price. Because of the fine work he did on my chimney, he is the only person I will call for any future masonry projects at my home. You will not be disappointed with his professionalism or his work."

Customers say: True professional

"Franklin and his team did an incredible job on my house. Very communicative, detail oriented, transparent about pricing and always on time. They took photos throughout the process and kept me informed about their progress. I had them strip the paint off the face of my 3 story brick home and reset several areas of the building. I could not be more thrilled with the results!"

"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."

"Very well, hard working crew very polite left the job site clean and very prompt. No down time, I would use them again and urge you to consider them. Price was better than the big names in the industry. All the workers had a great attitude doing a difficult job in a basement that has low ceilings and they had to carry all materials in and out of the basement in buckets."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

It’s called cobblestone because it’s made of stones that are “cobbed” together. A cob is a term that refers to rounded lumps. Originally, cobblestone streets were made from pebbles and stones gathered from riverbeds that had been rounded over time by the passage of water. The term has nothing to do with a cobbler, which is the term for someone who makes and fixes shoes.
