"Eric, his uncle and team of construction workers did an excellent job with installing a 42x5ft Belgium Block driveway apron to protect a new asphalt edge of my driveway. They started fast and finished even faster. They are absolutely outstanding and I will be contracting with them again Lord Willing. I have other major projects needing Masonry and hardscaping professionals. Auspiciously, ALB Construction is where it’s at! Thank you guys so much! —G. A. Arathorn"

"I had a great experience with Black Rock Exteriors, LLC. They were professional, honest, and really took the time to make sure the job was done right. The quality of the work was excellent, and they treated my home with care as if it were their own. It’s hard to find reliable contractors, but I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing roofing or masonry work. They repaired my asphalt shingle roof, and it looks fantastic."

"Mark was a very reputable businessman and he and his son did a great job. The area they delivered and spread stone looks really good and it is very level overall. I would definitely hire them to do another job for us."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

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, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.
