"It has been over a year since Tommy completely transformed our back yard. He rebuilt and added to a huge 75' x 10' retaining wall, then put in a gorgeous paver patio, front steps, and a walking path. Finally he stuccoed the entire lower level of our house. This was a massive project that he and his crew completed ahead of schedule. Tommy and his crew were always on time and worked diligently all day long, no matter how terrible the weather was. We trusted him with all his suggestions and advice, and he proved to be extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of this multi-faceted project. The end result of his hard work exceeded our very high expectations. If you are looking for someone who provides top-notch work and is a pleasure to deal with every day, choose Masonry by Tommy based in Lodi, NJ. They will leave you as impressed and grateful as we are!"

"We used Build USA LLC as our contractor for the vinyl siding of our house and for our gutters also. Start by saying they gave a fair and reasonable price. The job came out beautiful. The Matt and the crew are nice and professional, answered all of our questions. Very accommodating, even after the job was completed. They worked thru heavy snow and strong winds could not ask for a more dedicated team. Good and reliable company, good service from everyone."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

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.

Europe is a continent made of many individual countries with a history of city life. In these cities, dirt roads were unsanitary and often shifted. The Ancient Romans started laying cobblestone streets in the 3rd century, which became an iconic feature of European cities. The durable and practical paving material proved to be extremely weather-resistant.
