"Phipps Masonry repaired the brick of our front entrance and front porch. They were professional, timely, undertook great work product, did a good job communicating the finding of another masonry issue for us to consider, and left the job site in good shape. I highly recommend Phipps."
"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."

"Steven came to the house, listened to what we wanted to do, and provided a detailed plan for the project. His team arrived when he said they would arrive and the project lasted as long as he estimated at the beginning. Workmanship is excellent. Our patio quickly became our favorite part of our house. We will definitely call Steven first if we ever need hardscape work done in the future."
"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!"
"I'd highly recommend DeMilo Bros for anything concrete and paver related. From the start of my project to the end they were just a breath of fresh air. Great people, they clean up after themselves and definitely go the extra mile to make sure the job is done right! They did a fairly large paver patio for me, and I just assumed I'd have an 18"-24" drop to get to the yard I'd have to deal with. Turns out they had a sod cutter, took up the grass, graded it out 10+ feet, and put the sod back down for a very professional clean look. They even have an irrigation guy on staff who took care of moving heads and lines. Thank you, Bobby and crew, job well done!"
"crawlspace needed structural repairs to my wood framing and piers, an internal french drainage system to stop water intrusion, as well as installation of a 10mil floor liner to help keep moisture levels down. FD was EXTREMELY professional from my initial call and on-site appointment, to the guys doing the installation. I was kept informed throughout the entire process so there were no surprises. I HIGHLY recommend Foundation Doctor for any crawlspace work!"
"The whole experience was very professional and projects have been quality workmanship. We had a couple interruptions of the work due to family situations and they were very understanding and helped us every step of the way. All contractors were pleasant to work with and Jared's attention to detail was great!"
"They waterproofed my foundation wall, installed a French drain, installed underground drains for my downspouts , cleaned out my Crawlspace and installed a vapor barrier and dehumidifier. Excellent work on all of it! I highly recommend Dani and his crew."
They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.
Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.
Yes, it is usually possible to repair a damaged brick mailbox. A professional brick mason or masonry contractor can perform the repairs. They can assess the damage, provide an estimate, and help you determine if the repair is worthwhile based on the mailbox's value and the extent of the damage. The repair process may involve sourcing replacement bricks and mortar. Damaged bricks can be cut out and replaced, or the mortar joints can be cut out and retucked. It's important to note that the new mortar may differ in color from the original. If the mailbox insert itself is damaged, it can typically be cut out and replaced as well. If your brick mailbox has been completely destroyed, you should check with your local building code enforcement office before rebuilding, as some areas do not allow brick mailboxes due to the potential hazard they pose to drivers.
In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.
Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.
