"Not really a "brick, stone or block wall - install" but it's the closest I could get with the list. Ripped out 30+ year old brick island at the front of our subdivision, installed a new concrete version & filled with topsoil. The job came in at or under the price quoted & we are very happy with it. I was very impressed with Adrian in regard to his work ethic, desire to please a customer, knowledge, scheduling & ability to get the work done."

"I can't believe how smoothly this repair went! Everyone at Falcone--the schedulers who arranged our estimate visit and the repair work, the foundation experts who repaired the porch, the finance people who explained the estimate and our final bill--every single one of them was helpful, prompt, courteous, and great at their jobs. The county inspector who reviewed the porch repair even made a point of telling us what high quality work the Falcone people had done for us! I would definitely call them again! If you're interested in our specific details, this repair was crucial to maintaining our house's structural integrity; since the screened-in porch is attached to the house, if it went down the hill, so would the back wall of the house! The foundation had cracked away from the main house and the slab was cracked and sliding apart at different angles. The men from Falcone excavated, cleaned, and prepped the job site, including washing the bottom section of the slab to promote bonding when the new concrete was poured. Then they poured a porch perimeter slab wall under the slab to stabilize the foundation. In addition, they installed a backer rod and applied concrete sealant to re-connect the porch foundation to house and prevent additional damage."

"Ramos Concrete, LLC were great to work with! Rafael came to the project site and spoke with me about my options, making sure he understood what I wanted. Their prices were very reasonable and the team made very quick work of my shop floor and driveway. They were even happy to spread gravel into some other areas around the property for parking and driving! The best part is they were able to be flexible with my needs when I wanted to add a changes! Highly recommended! Hire them for your next project!"

"It was a small project but they did very well installing the garden wall blocks on the hilly side of my home and did an excellent job of adding topsoil, installing landscape fabric and the red lava rocks. They were professionals and did a very nice job of making sure my home's driveway, sidewalk and road in front of my front yard were spotless when they were done."

"We are so pleased with the results of having hired Javier Cruz and his company, Stone and Lawn Care, to install a paver walkway around our house. His response time for a consultation and quote was immediate. He was able to start the project within two weeks of our getting HOA approval. He sent a full crew the first day to dig and clear foundation and remove all tree roots, stone and dirt, and lay the weed fabric. He sent three men to lay the pavers. And one man came on the third day to sweep in and water the polymer sand. He himself came each day to inspect the work and make sure we were satisfied. The colors are a perfect blend, the patterns are so pretty, and the border is neat and definitive. We could not be happier, and are recommending him to all our friends and neighbors!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.
