"I hired THBS to repair a foundation crack for my home that was 25 years old. The salesman, came out and gave us an estimate within a few days and we signed the contract 11/4/2022, and paid the deposit on 11/22/22. We were under the impression we would have this completed by the end of the year. The engineer requested n additional support pier, on 12/2/22 so we had to sign a new contract on 1/11/2023. . There was not a lot of communication from the company in those 2 months and most of it was initiated by me. I feel like for the amount of money we spent we should have been more in the loop. I get it that it was over the holidays, but communicate that to the customer if you have delays due to vacations and such. I spent a lot of time wondering if I made the right decision to go with THBS. Now the installation crew was AMAZING!! They arrived on time, on the correct day (2/2/23) ready to go to work. They make sure not to drive over my water/sewer lines and determined the best way to get to the work area with the least disruption to my yard. It was drizzling rain and had been raining the previous days, so my yard was a soggy, red clay mess. I watched them work like a well-oiled machine. Never saw anyone standing around not working. Josiah, Chris, Robert and Rodrigo did a great job working in the rain. I watched some of the process and they were very deliberate in explaining what they were doing and answered any questions that I had completely and professionally. I can't say enough about those guys. The only thing that I can complain about regarding the install is I didn't realize how much of a mess it would make of my yard. The weather didn't help with that, as the red clay was just a mushy, sloppy mess because of the rain. The harder these guys tried to push the dirt back in place, the more muddy it became. Not their fault-just the weather and the soil. I will recommend THBS to others."

"My home has a chimney that was unsafe to use (cracked masonry liner). I dreaded the time and cost of a tear down and replacement. I contacted "Shamrock Chimney" and scheduled an appointment with their lead technician "Tony". He suggested a less costly and safer alternative (steel liner and a resealing of the outer brickwork. The work was performed over a two-day period. I am fully satisfied with the results. One thing I really apricate is the communication during the project. The "front office" would let me know by either phone or email when the project would start, and then Tony and would give me updates. All and all the whole process went smoothly. Also, this was my first time with "Angi", I hope to use their services again in the future."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

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.
