"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!"

"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."

"They were great, all the guys were super fantastic. They did a tremendous job for me, they were very respectful and they talked with me and asked me before doing any of the work. They were manable, I fixed them lunch, I cooked out for them, they loved it. I really appreciate them, I was outside with them the majority of the day and all 3 young men were respectful and I never heard a curse word out of them. They are very good Christian boys, they took time to talk with me. I would highly recommend them to others."

Masonry FAQs, 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.

When it comes to how to paint a brick chimney, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

The best way to clean creosote from brick is to hire a professional chimney sweep. However, you can use a creosote log to remove excess buildup between cleanings. You can also clean minor creosote buildup using dish soap or vinegar mixed with water.

On average, a quality exterior brick stain can last between 10 and 20 years, and sometimes even longer. While it will look its best for a minimum of three to five years, its total lifespan depends on several factors. These include the quality and type of stain used, the condition of the brick, and the thoroughness of the surface preparation, such as proper cleaning. Following the manufacturer's application instructions and applying a sealant as a final step is also crucial. The stain's longevity can be affected by your location, climate, and the brick's exposure to harsh weather, high traffic, and other elements. Over time, the stain may begin to fade or look dingy due to weathering, erosion, dirt, and debris. Compared to paint, brick stain generally has a longer lifespan.
