"Montana Excavating Services did a wonderful job on my gravel driveway and it didn't break the bank in order to get it done. It was a great expirerence and the team were courteous, timely, and respectful. I would definitely recommend Clyde Scott and his crew!"

"I called Montana Basement Solutions when we discovered mold in our basement. We were stressed and worried about the safety of our children in the home. When I called, the receptionist quickly put me in touch with Rich, who talked me through the process and helped give me information about what I could do prior to having someone come out. He set up a time when one of the guys would be close to town and waved the travel fee since he would be in this area anyway. He was kind, knowledgable and made me feel like he really wanted to help us. Wynn came out a few days later and gave us tons of information. He walked us through what we needed to do and was willing to spend an exorbitant amount of time, late into the evening, prior to a long drive home, explaining everything we needed to know about our problem. He addressed every one of our concerns and answered all of our questions in depth. He was friendly, knowledgable and professional. I would highly recommend this company. From the very first phone call, I have been so pleased with the customer service I have received. I had called 4 other companies prior to and after talking with Montana Basement Solutions, 2 who said they would come out two days later ( never heard from them) and 1 that still has not called back (and I have left 2 messages). I am so grateful for the time Wynn gave to us and did I mention , he did all of this free of charge? He also gave me the answer to my problem and it did not require me using their services. If you have a mold problem, I would start with Montana Basement Solutions."

"I only use James when I need some work done to my house. He responds fast, gets the work done quicker than just about anyone else I've ever used and seems very concerned with leaving his customers happy."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Not all cracks in brick indicate foundation problems. For instance, small hairline cracks can occur as a new construction settles. However, larger cracks are often a sign of a more severe issue. Indicators of a potential foundation problem include long horizontal cracks, "stair-step" cracks, vertical cracks that appear indoors, or any crack that widens at the top. Other signs of structural damage to look for are uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. These issues could be caused by problems with the soil beneath the home or an overgrown tree.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.

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.

Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.
