"I am excited about the work completed by the AFS foundation crew from Mobile, Alabama! From start to finish, every step was handled with the highest professionalism and attention to detail. The team of David, Bobby, Jesus, and Logan took the time to explain the technical process in simple, clear terms, making sure I felt confident throughout the project. They also stuck to the promised timeline, finishing the installation on schedule without sacrificing quality. I also appreciate the crew’s effort to keep the worksite tidy. David, Bobby, Jesus, and Logan exceeded my expectations in every way. Their blend of technical skill, punctuality, and dedication to customer satisfaction makes them a top-tier crew. I would gladly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable foundation repair."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.

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.

Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.

Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.

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.
