"I want to recognize three young men who recently completed our basement work through Groundworks: Matt, Taylore, & Gavin. The work was thorough, clearly explained, & the finished product looks excellent. But the biggest positive was the crew. They worked incredibly hard every day on a physically demanding, messy job, yet remained professional, disciplined, & respectful. They took great care of our home, kept debris contained, & cleaned up afterward. Matt took time to explain the full system to us & went above & beyond to help replace insulation that had fallen, even though it wasn't part of the job. Taylore & Gavin were equally helpful, helping us salvage & store shelving materials and remove a few stubborn pieces we couldn't manage ourselves. I'm genuinely impressed by their work ethic, attitude, & pride in doing the job right. I would absolutely recommend Groundworks, but especially these three young men. They represented the company exceptionally well!"

"I hired Crawlspace Miracles to do some tedious work in the crawlspace of my home. I am very pleased with the work that was done. Mr. Long handled the job with great professionalism. He was courteous and prompt. I would highly recommend him."

"Brandon and Thomas and their crew provided exceptional service. We live on an island in NC very near sea level. We had a serious storm water problem, with standing water after a big rain, as well as runoff from adjoining property. We also have two driveways that required an extensive paving job. We contacted several landscapers for estimates. Brandon and Thomas met with us in person and provided us with a detailed estimate that we thought was very fair. They scheduled a starting date and told us how long the job would take. The job was started on time and ended exactly as promised, despite some minor snags. It was a delight to have the crew on our property. They were very careful to disturb only areas that are necessary, the job site was cleaned up every evening, and the yard was leveled and raked when they left. They also went out of their way to get the special rocks for the garden from a gravel company that was much farther away. Now for the pavers: a culvert was incorporated under the driveway and Brandon helped us pick the paver color and design. The extensive project takes up almost our entire front yard and it is gorgeous! We get compliments from everyone who sees it. We could not be more pleased!! An excellent job, on time-on budget, friendly professional crew, water flooding fixed, and amazing esthetics! We could not wish for more."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.

Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.

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.

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.
