"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

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

Fireclay is a type of clay but it is a type of clay that, because of its chemical composition, can be fired at a much higher temperature than other clays. This results in a denser and more heat-resistant final material. Because of the high percentage of a mineral called kaolin, fireclay sinks are smoother and more durable than other clay types.

If you’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.

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.

You should worry about brick wall cracks when they are wide and growing, or in a horizontal or stair-step pattern. Additionally, they may be accompanied by other signs of structural stress. In these cases, a foundation specialist should inspect your home.
