"I have relied on Gibson Construction for help in the past but my most recent request was to apply a sealant to our large, cement driveway. David responded promptly to my text, arrived on the job punctually, and applied the sealant in a professional manner. I believe this treatment will protect the concrete not only from daily wear-and-tear but also from the more harsh elements of snow, ice, and salt during the winter season. Also, I respect and am thankful for the time, effort, and product donated to the support of so many individuals devastated by Hurricane Helene. Thank you Gibson Construction. D. Jarvis"

"Joey Hintz did a wonderful job for us! He removed trees, and then moved large stones to design a retaining wall for us. With all the work he did he has literally saved our patio from sliding down the hill. He also went the extra mile by removing all the trees and debris that my husband had cut down, saving us so much time and work. They are a great company and Joey Hintz is the best!!"

"I cannot recommend David Warman Construction strongly enough. They were professional and courteous, David kept in constant contact with me to let me know what was going on and did all that he could to keep the costs as low as possible. Mine was a big job done very well and much faster than I dared to hope."

"From my first Mount Valley Foundations evaluation appointment with Carlton Cisson to the construction team assigned to reconstructing and encapsulating my grusome crawl space foundation mess (Shaun Dixon, Alex Hernandez, Milton Martin and Dre Nesbitt) I experienced nothing but professionalism, positive & friendly demeanors, constant and thorough communication and a completed job above my expectations! Hoping I never have to have such foundation work ever done again, but will certainly call Mount Valley again, if I do!"

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.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. 

Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.
