"Other companies quoted me much higher rates and one completely failed to get the job done. MMT were complete professionals, a pleasure to deal with, prompt, and skilled. Iâ ll be relying on them for all chimney and masonry projects and would recommend them to anyone."

"Although we had quite a long wait because he was on vacation, we were very impressed with the engineer who came to our home to determine what needed to be done and put together our quote. Unfortunately, that was the last good impression we had and the last time we saw an actual employee of Adirondack Basement. 

Keeping in mind that this job didn't involve installing a brand new egress window, but rather replacing an existing one and simply deepening the outside window well, we were a bit shocked at the pricing. Given that we were paying a "Cadillac" price we were surprised to receive "Chevy" level service from a subcontractor rather than an Adirondack Basement employee.   We were particularly disappointed that neither the engineer nor any other Adirondack Basement employee visited the site during or after the installation to confirm that it was done according to the engineer's specs. In fact, the subcontractor made a change to the specs to save time (and presumably money for himself) and the engineer never knew or approved that change.

While we understood that Adirondack Basement would not "finish" the window trim etc and we were comfortable doing that ourselves, we were again disappointed that the subcontractor left the window well completely uninsulated and essentially open to the elements. Only after we pressed him, did he grudgingly add a can of spray insulation. 

We expressed our disappointment to Adirondack Basement and were given a modest price concession but we feel that the price we paid still far exceeded the quality of the services provided. "

"We used LaBello’s masonry on three occasions over the past several years. Chad and his crew provided great service for foundation repairs, stamped concrete sealing and most recently for chimney repairs, metal roof painting, asphalt roof repair and gutter repairs. They arrived promptly and completed the projects thoroughly and professionally and cleaned up the premises nicely when the job was completed. Thanks LaBello’s."

"We had the following done by Douglas Landscaping: two sets of concrete stairs, a walkway, railings, a curb, and river rock installed on a slope. Trenton and crew are responsive, professional and hard working. To begin, Trenton promptly reached out to us after we requested an online quote. He came out, talked to my husband and I about what we wanted done, made suggestions, and took measurements. He got back to us promptly with a quote that detailed what would be done with the cost. We signed a contract and set a start date. The crew showed up early each day and put in a full day’s work. He checked with us along the way to be sure we were happy with the progress. At the end, he made sure the work met our expectations. He was professional every step of the way. Thank you!!"

"In all my years of hiring various contractors for work done on my own place, as well as for work done at some properites I managed for many years, (30)I have never had such excellent work done by any conractor. Not only did All Dry Basement honor their written estimate, they went beyond several times on other things not covered, but related. This was all done in Covid times. All workers were always unfailingly polite, respectful, neat, organized, prompt etc. Fill in the words of your choice for attributes that you would look for in a contactor, and you have a picture of All Dry basement people."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

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. 

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.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.
