"We are a national Contractor doing work all over the US, jobs are small/medium in scale and the schedules are very tight and must be maintained, of the 50+ concrete contractors we will typically use each year, ProCrete is hands down at the top of the list. Great pricing, always on time with completions, quality of work is always excellent and they are always willing to go the extra mile (literally as they have done projects for me in NJ, NY, MD, DE). I only wish they were nationwide as I would give them ALL my work, without question!! Very Highly recommended!!"

"Over the past several years we have contracted with Joe to lay stone, repair the roof over our deck, upgrade our kitchen and bathroom and most recently install laminate floors. In each instance we have been extremely pleased with the end product. Joe's team does a great job and we have found Joe's prices to be very reasonable. In addition to the quality of the work, Joe is also very helpful offering suggestions as to which products to choose, how the work should be done, etc. We thank our lucky stars when we came upon Joe's name on HomeAdvisor. I would highly recommend him."

Customers say: Quality work

"Phil installed stone veneer on existing block retaining walls. The job was complicated and tedious as the stacked stone panels were quartzite, frail with thin glued seams throughout the panels, and easily broken. He did a great job and was extremely careful while cutting almost every panel to get the stones horizontal on the walls. The project site was kept immaculate and he adhered to his schedule throughout the 3 or 4 days it took to complete. he was extremely courteous, kind, and trustworthy as I had no problem leaving him at my home without anyone in attendance."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.

If your old bricks are in decent condition and you have the space to store them where they’ll be protected from the elements, keeping old bricks is often worthwhile. You’d spend anywhere from $70 to a few hundred dollars to have them removed from your property, in which case you won’t be able to use them for future projects. Holding on to old bricks in good condition means you can use them later for other DIY projects, potentially saving yourself some money on disposal and new materials down the road.

For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

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.
