"I hired Vale Construction to repair a crack in the sidewall of my garage on a house I am selling that was leaking a bit of water in heavy rain. They took a look, suggested a correction and submitted a reasonable quote. They were able to schedule the work quickly, showed up on time, completed the work and let me know when they were finished. The repair looks great and fixed the issue. I would, and will absolutely hire them again when I replace the driveway in my new house."

At 1OAK, we don’t just stack rocks. We understand that the difference between a "yard" and an "outdoor living space" isn't just materials, it’s vision. And the biggest obstacle between you and that vision has always been uncertainty. What will it look like? Can I trust the price?\n\nWe fixed that. \n\nCall us today to get a complimentary estimate.

"Odyssey Contracting did extensive work on my deck to replace all deck posts and put them on new foundations. Part of the deck is open and part of it is a screened porch so I was apprehensive about the screened porch section with all that weight. Odyssey Contracting did a thorough inspection and came up with a detailed explanation of what needed to be done and why. I signed the contract with confidence. They showed up quickly and did a careful and thorough job. Everyone on the team was friendly, courteous, and professional. I am totally pleased with the whole process and with the results. I recommend them highly. In fact, Iâ ve already recommended them to three friends."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

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.

Choose from an abundance of natural and synthetic options when perfecting your hardscape design. Stone veneer costs a bit less, holds up against the tests of time and weather, and also works best in curves and complex walls.

Natural stone, however, provides an organic look to a lawn while providing just as much strength as veneer. Don't forget you can chat with your mason about other common wall materials like brick, cinderblock, and concrete.
