"Adam was a pleasure to work with. He drew up the plans himself and met with us before starting the project to make sure we were all on the same page. His workers were very efficient and thorough. The quality of work completed was exceptional and we couldn't be happier with our pavers/walkway. His team was very professional and clean. The project didn't drag out, they came in and worked every day until the project was complete. They also cleaned up after themselves every night so we didn't come home to a mess. We had three different companies come out and give us a quote for the same project and Adams price was competitive and the quality of work far exceeded our expectations. Save yourself the time and look no further for any hardscaping work you are looking to have done."
"The crew did an amazing job. the scope of the project was immense. we had a 150 ft driveway that was old concrete replaced with pavers and it was widened by 2ft on each side. it also had a turn around put at the end by the garage. they completely redid our entire yard front and back close to 3/4 of an acre. they put in an entire drainage system with catch drains as the house sat at the bottom of a small hill and all the water all ran under the house. the put in a three level front yard with a stone slab walk away. a very large brick mail box and a brick outdoor grill. completely redid the pool deck with pavers put down gas lines for the he grill the water heater. for the pool and jacuzzi. as well as to the den fireplace to convert it to gas if/when we wanted to. had a water float line put in the pool to maintain water level. they were always on time, professional and clean up was done daily. they said it was gonna take 6 or seven weeks and it took 9. Only because we kept adding things on not in the contract. they never balked or complained about it. and we're always friendly (except the owner Stephen) JUST KIDDING. I HIGHLY recommend them for any job large or small. you just may have to wait a little as they're in demand and the proof is in the exceptional work done."
"I had a fairly simple repair but a tight window for the appointment. Custom Bricks came through in the clutch! They did a thorough check of the full area, touched up a couple spots I hadnâ t noticed, and were polite and friendly. All with the expediency I really needed and a fair price. Great job, fellas!"

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.
Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.
Yes, brick can breathe through limewash. Limewash is a breathable coating made from natural lime and water, allowing moisture to pass through while providing a protective layer. Unlike synthetic paints or sealants, which can trap moisture within the brick and lead to issues like mold, limewash allows the brick to maintain its natural breathability. This characteristic makes limewash an ideal choice for historic structures where preserving the integrity of the brick is essential.
The cost to install or replace brick or stone siding generally ranges from $10 to $50 per square foot.

For example, different types of stone have varying costs per square foot: natural stone ($4.50–$35), stone veneer ($11–$13), faux stone ($6–$9), and cultured or manufactured stone ($5–$8).
Yes, you can enlarge windows in a brick house. Your masonry contractor will need to cut away exterior brick to make space for the larger window, and you may also need to consult a structural engineer to make sure the window is properly supported inside the frame of the house.
