"Not long ago use Castro Landscaping for pavers all around my home and he did a spectacular job. Looking forward to doing business with him again in removing some dead shrubs. Juan, the owner, is very accommodating, a true professional and very fair priced. He and his employees are very hard workers that do a great job."

"Over the years, Joe and his team have done a whole host of jobs for me from painting, to concrete, to installing doors, to building a roof over my existing deck. His prices are always competitive, and he is honest with me about my options and the best way to complete a job. He is always my first call when bidding out a job. I would highly recommend."

"We hired Home Masters through Angi's and couldn't be happier. Our concrete porch was pitted and cracked, and our front step was not ADA compliant and difficult to use, since I'm disabled. Jim was a pleasure to work with, and his experience was evident from our first meeting. His crew started the project exactly as promised, and the finished job couldn't look nicer. The men cleaned up all the debris, and you'd never guess that there had ever been a mess. I've never had such pleasant experience with any contractor as I did with Jim. I highly recommend Home Masters."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

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, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. 

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. 

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.
