"Eric and his crew tackled a long-standing drainage problem in the basement of our 1932 Craftsman bungalow. We'd had several estimates and options but They impressed us from the start with their solution to the problem and their professionalism. They were great communicators and kept us apprised of what they were doing every step of the way. Can't recommend them enough."

"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

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

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.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.

Whether you’re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you’re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you’ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means your home build will take longer, as it’s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.
