"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."

"Dan is personable, friendly and professional. He came on time. When he said he would, and apologized for having to reschedule for 2 days later due to the weather, which of course was not his fault! He did a great job repairing my chimney and cleaned up after himself. The chimney looks great. I will definitely call him the next time I need work done. He also does power washing! I highly recommend Clark Masonry!"

"Alex was amazing!! We had a crack in our foundation that another company attempted to repair numerous times. We were fortunate enough to hear about ProSeal and I am happy to report not only did Alex repair the crack to near perfection but the work was done timely, neatly and his customer service skills are top notch. I would HIGHLY recommend ProSeal for all of your foundation needs."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

Choosing the right paint color for your brick house can be a daunting task. A great strategy is to find painted brick houses that you like and try to replicate the look by researching their colors or asking the homeowners for the specific paint color code.

If you're looking for specific ideas, several colors work well on brick. Different shades of white, such as off-white or cream-white, can create a modern, timeless, and classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. For a more contemporary aesthetic, you might consider a matte black tone. Other popular choices include gray, blue, and sage green.

Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won’t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace.

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.
