"The guy that owns this business is a super nice person and the finished work is great. However, they left a pile of roots and dirt in my front yard that the town would not pick up. He said that they would get it but something would always come up...working late or other jobs. What I'm not a paying customer? There was no problem cashing my checks. I didn't try to low ball him on the quote. Anyway, I loaded and Jules of the debris myself. Also, they added a parking pad which I wanted but put a curve on it which causes me to have to run over the area where I'm now trying to grow grass. If I park my truck in the drive and have my wife park on the pad, it's tight trying to get her car onto the pad because of the length of the truck. You shouldn't have to be so careful pulling into your own driveway and inching tour car along so as to not hit the other vehicle. I contacted him about this concern and he said that he did not take the length of the truck into consideration. I told him it was tight but doable. After trying to park various ways, it remains an issue. I emailed him a couple of days later to express the same concern, but received no reply. I choose not to pursue this further so as to not shred my nerves. I will hire someone else to straighten that curve at a later date. To summarize, work and speed of work is good. Paying 8 grand to leave debris in your yard is bad. Sorry, would not recommend based on this and the weird curve."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

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.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

On average, a well-built brick mailbox can last between 30 and 100 years. The insert that holds mail inside the mailbox may last 15 to 25 years before it needs to be replaced. If a mailbox needs to be fixed due to damage, make sure you know who to hire for brick repair.

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.
