"I hired Alex Masonry to remove and rebuild a retaining wall that was leaning. After some discussion, I decided to expand the project to include new bluestone caps and to re-do my cracked concrete walkway with pavers. Alex and his crew did an outstanding job. Alex is extremely knowledgeable, personable and a pleasure to work with. His pricing is very reasonable. He and his team did a great job. Hard workers, with great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Alex Masonry!"

"I have used L&Z Masonry Corp. for multiple projects over the past 3 years. In each case, the work done was excellent. The owner prepared professional quotations with line-item breakdowns of costs. The work started on time and was completed on time. The workers conducted themselves in a professional manner and put in a full day's work every day. The owner regularly inspected the work that was done and had his crew make adjustments to ensure high quality results. The owner also kept me, the customer, informed as projects progressed and was very responsive to my questions &/or changes that I wanted to make. L&Z Masonry exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend their services."

"MJ Castano is a consummate professional. I could not be happier with my new front steps and walkway! He finished the job on time and on budget. In fact, he even put in a drainage pipe to help redirect storm water away from the steps so they last for years to come. I would hire Manny for all of my masonry projects without hesitation and recommend him to anyone needing this type of work. His estimate was competitive with others and he was a real pleasure to work with. Look no further. This is your guy."

"In just a few days, Moretti transformed our unsightly & broken bluestone walkway into a beautiful and welcoming paver entryway. Frank (the owner) worked with us to select colors that complemented our home's existing stone, and to design a warm and elegant layout. My wife and I loved how it came out and we would certainly use his team again for other asphalt, stonework and landscaping projects."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.

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.

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.
