"Alex Masonry exceeded my expectations. They did an incredible job on my front steps and walkway. The team was professional, punctual, and ensured everything was perfectly aligned and built to last. They kept the worksite clean and finished on time. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and skilled masonry work! I plan to hire them again to do my patio and outdoor kitchen"

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.

"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."

"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

The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

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.

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.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

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.
