"Mike from MFS Masonry has an excellent staff. Very professional, excellent workmanship. I couldn't be happier. Mike stopped by from time to time but his crew didn't need to be monitored. They are hardworking and punctual. My patio, sidewalks and stairs are beautiful. Everything in the work area was put back to rights, grass seed was applied, even mulch. No small item was left undone. If I need more work like this in the future, that is the company I will hire. Another impressing note, when Mike first came to give me an estimate, he had samples of the pavers in his truck. I didn't have to look at a book and try to imagine it. I could see the items. And once he listened to what I was interested in doing he provided me with suggestions based on his experience. Win-win."

"I hired Bergin Property Management to build us an outdoor living space and the work exceeded our expectations. The pavers are beautiful and the work was completed ahead of schedule. Frank and his team were amazing to work with. We were so happy with the transformation of our patio, that we are scheduled to go into contract for another project. I highly recommend them if you seek professionals and expert work."

"Tim had initially come over for the installation of a French drain on the side of the house, but instead uncovered that our foundation had receded away from the house due to past water damage. He immediately stepped into gear explaining every detail to me and gave me a quote for the amount of work that needed to be done. He and his crew made time in his busy schedule to get the job done and finished it completely in 3 days. I am so grateful for the work they have done and how quickly they did it. I highly recommend this business for anyone experiencing foundation/water damage issues. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!"

"I have the best looking property in the neighborhood. I pay to have a few more things done than the average homeowner and boy does it show. Everyone comments on how amazing my property looks. I think the best service Brian provides is designing and putting in new features such a s a patio with full bar, new stone and gravel driveway and feature plantings with specialized lighting."

"Cappella Landscaping responded to my wifeâ s and my search for a contractor to replace our deteriorated patio. The patio that we replaced was built 10 years ago and held up well for about five years, but then started to degrade at a progressively increasing rate. My wife and I were novices in this original undertaking, and it cost us. We learned that the base that the patio was built on was inadequate, and the pitch was too steep, among other things. When we first met Robert Cappella, he struck us as a true professional. He was very technically knowledgeable and told us about many things to be considered that we were not aware of. He spoke in detail about why certain things were important, including the use of high-quality materials. He seemed to be on a clearly higher level than the other contractors that we received quotes from. His quote on the job was higher than the other contractors, but our interaction with him gave us the confidence that he would produce a superior outcome. After we engaged Robert for our project, he helped usher us through the approval process that is required in our community. And when the work commenced, he brought a very capable crew of 4 to work on the building of the new patio. The project took 4 days to complete, with Robert himself working and supervising on site for most of that time. We were impressed by what we saw as the work progressed. When the work was completed, we were very happy with our beautiful new patio. Robert followed through with all of the little things that he said he would do. Robert is very gregarious and seems to love his work. As I mentioned earlier, he was more expensive than his competition, but we strongly feel that we received better value per dollar spent. We are happy with the end result and wouldnâ t hesitate to go with Robert again."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.

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.

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.

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. 

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.
