"William did an outstanding job on constructing brick steps in the rear of my garage. He completed the job in less than three hours. It was a small job. It is usually difficult to find anyone to do something like this. He took pride in his work."

"Couldn't have gone better! There was a gap between the top step and the front porch of my home that could only be corrected by removing five steps and replacing them with new concrete. Tony Medina, the owner of the company, and the members of his crew did an excellent job. The procedure required two separate trips that were dependent on the weather. As he promised, he called the night before to make sure it suited for them to arrive at 7 a.m. He was always on time and completed the work professionally and efficiently at the exact price he quoted, which was very fair and reasonable for the job required. He and his crew did beautiful work and I would hire him again in a heartbeat."

"Benito is absolutely AMAZING to work with. His team built our dream patio for our new home including pouring the concrete, building a roof and running electricity. His quote came in much better than other larger companies. His team was able to complete the project in 2 weeks. He presented ideas that helped us make the space better. I was in constant contact with Benito throughout the project via texts and in-person conversations that really made sure we were on the same page. This addition has transformed our home and we couldn’t be more happy with how this turned out."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

Yes, as long as the cut is clean and the brick remains structurally sound, you can reuse it. Reusing brick is especially common for landscaping, edging, and small masonry repairs. Just make sure to file down any sharp edges before handling or installing it.

Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.

You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.

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.
