"William responded quickly to a small job and knocked it out in a couple of hours. He repaired a small section of brick on a retaining wall and repaired mortar around loose bricks. His price was very reasonable. I’ve hired him to pressure wash."

"Chris and his crew did a great job encapsulating my crawl space. They showed up when they said they would and communication with them was good. They actually did most of the multi-day job while I was gone on vacation, but I was always kept in the loop and given daily updates along with pictures of the progress. Everything they cleared out from under the house was hauled away with no traces left behind. When part of the crawl space access door frame was damaged in the final stages of the project, Chris returned with all materials to restore it and made sure the door was completely sealed. I had several quotes for this job and Crawl Space Jam was more than competitive and did as much, or more, than what some higher bids were going to do. Highly recommend."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3 each.

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

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.

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.
