"Alex responded promptly to my request for an estimate and was able to provide me with one immediately after evaluating the site and job we wanted done. I thought the price was fair and in line with the other estimates, his responsiveness was top notch and he was almost immediately available. Once we agreed on hiring him, he and his team were able to start within the same week. We had an excellent experience throughout the process and he was able to quickly and fairly address any changes to the original plans. The guys were always right on time, incredibly efficient, and left the work area very clean every day after they were done. We have spent more time the last two weeks on our back patio than we have on our deck in any given year. He gave us an estimate on a Tuesday, we hired him the following Monday, they started on Saturday, and finished on Wednesday. I wish I had more work for them to do, and would certainly recommend Alex Masonry."

I called Luis of  L & Z Masonry Corp.  As usual, Luis got back to me immediately, and then came out to check out the problems that needed to be addressed in my basement.  The portion of my basement that needed to be repaired is approximately  a  500 square foot section with a ceiling height of approximately  17ft  to  20 feet.  My house is over 110 years old,  and  the  walls were in terrible shape.  Luis  came in  with his extremely  competent, respectful,  and very professional team of workers.  For 2 days, they worked on the walls in the basement removing all cracks and loose cement,  and pointing the bricks where it was needed.   They finished the job by installing,  and smoothly applying cement stucco to the foundation of the basement.  The end product was outstanding. This  whole  process  gave a  new life to the walls in that area of our basement. 

Luis and his team of workers  at  L & Z Masonry  maintain high standards  and  their workmanship  is excellent.  Luis is a people's  person.  He  is very friendly, knowledgeable,  professional,  sensitive to the need of his customers and respectful of  your home. The work  in our basement was done neatly and the basement was dusted and left clean at the end of the job. 

I highly recommend L & Z Masonry,  and  I will use them  again for my future masonry  projects.  Their prices are reasonable.  In addition,  their workmanship is superior.  L&Z  is  a  Trustworthy  Company.    Each time we have used this company, their assessments of  the  problem  and  their suggested  approach to  make the repair  have  been  honest and accurate.

"Provided recommendations and installed concrete pavers and Belgian block curbing at front walkway of my home. Arrived on time for initial appointment and arrived promptly to begin work on the day promised. Good quality work was completed in a timely manner. I would use Escalera landscaping again and would recommend this landscaper."

"I fired the 1st contractor who did a terrible and worst of all, an amateur job. I seek the help of ServiceMagic and was introduced to several contractors and was offered much lower quote than HH but lack confidence and equipments. The 1st meeting with Jarod, I knew he would do a fine job and awarded the work on the 2nd meeting. HH showed excellent service both before and after service and was meticulous in their work. I was impressed by the creativity in designing my flowerbed including the choice of plants, materials and paver stones and the masonry work done for my walkway leading to the main entrance of the house that created a "WOW" effect and compliments from my neighbors. HH team showed punctuality at work and was in no rush to complete the work. Unlike other contractors that needed to rent equipments and excavators, HH was fully equipped with the right tools to ensure there are no delays. They cleaned up and repaired the damage lawn due to the excavators and the trailer parked on my lawn. My hats off to Jarod, Andy, David and Jennifer for an excellent work and I would highly recommend. Best of all, the warranty for the masonry work and landscaping gives me the piece of mind for the many years to come. I enjoyed working with all of them :-) Thanks to ServiceMagic for an outstanding job and recommendation, without them, I would be in a dilemma with an incomplete project in my hands done by the 1st contractor."

"I'm that person who has a general distrust of contractors due to a few truly terrible experiences. I blame myself for these bad experiences because I didn't vet the people I hired throughly enough. With the retaining wall bordering my driveway was collapsing and the driveway beginning to split, I knew this wasn't a project I could brush off, so I began an intense search for contractors. Using Angie, I found two contractors I liked for the job, but hired Hector Santucci because he presented a better plan for the restoration of that portion of the driveway that was going to be damaged while removing the old wall. Santucci Brothers has shown me there are good, professional, honest contractors out there, if you just take the time to find them. Hector Santucci and his crew were professional, polite and excellent at their jobs. These are some true craftsmen. Not only is my new wall massive, strong, built to last, but it's quite beautiful. In particular, while the mortar joints on the old wall, which was built by hacks, were three, sometimes as much as four inches wide, Hector's crew tightened everything up, fitting the stones together beautifully, even recessing the mortar on the face. When they were done, they cleaned everything up, power washed the driveway, and even planted new grass. Santucci Brothers stayed on estimate, stayed on schedule, and lived up to everything they had promised me. Communicating with them was easy and efficient."

"They gave us an estimate which I was happy with and arrived on the scheduled day to complete the work.  One of the cracks was much larger than we thought so they needed to com back with a different product.  They came back but with an insufficient amount to complete the job.  It took a long time to complete but it was sufficient to keep water out of the basement.  Just realize that tax is not included in the estimate."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.

A chimney cleaning brick or log can help loosen creosote between professional chimney cleaning appointments. Although they can help keep your chimney cleaner, they are not a substitute for chimney sweeping and are not meant to be used regularly.

You can hang holiday lights on brick without drilling by using hot glue, outdoor tape, or brick clips for your project. There are plenty of alternatives to consider, so consult a professional Christmas light installer to discuss the best options to preserve your brick exterior.
