"Actually I have used Santiago construction 3 times; twice for deep clean of 2 levels and once for regular cleaning and have them rescheduled for a regular clean again in August. They are prompt, even arriving early; they are respectful of my things and incredibly efficient. They do a fantastic job and I am happy to know them."

"Diego and his crew did a great job on our retaining wall. They showed up when they said they would, kept us updated throughout the project, and the finished wall came out even better than we expected. Everything looks clean and solid, and you can tell they take pride in their work. Definitely recommend Zone Hardscapes!"

"Garrett and Wil and their crew did an excellent job. We had a stone patio installed along with steps and a dry creek-bed drain. We were very happy with their work. They are very friendly, courteous and professional and they worked very hard to complete the task promptly, despite some poor weather days. They were careful to cleanup afterwards and left our yard looking better than when they arrived. The cost was in line with their estimate and we would highly recommend them to anyone needing stone-scape or landscape work."

"This company got shoveled of all the snow in our driveway, sidewalk and steps. Very professional and punctual. They did a wonderful job. This company risked their lives by driving to our house as secondary roads on their route still had snow. The crew were extremely kind and patient. My husband and I have had health issues, so we were not able to do this ourselves. We would hire again."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

Yes, brick can breathe through limewash. Limewash is a breathable coating made from natural lime and water, allowing moisture to pass through while providing a protective layer. Unlike synthetic paints or sealants, which can trap moisture within the brick and lead to issues like mold, limewash allows the brick to maintain its natural breathability. This characteristic makes limewash an ideal choice for historic structures where preserving the integrity of the brick is essential.

Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. 

Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.
