"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."

"The crew was on time everyday and worked all day. They were very professional and courteous. The pricing was fair and James' knowledge of the job was incredible. He's been in the business for a long time. I would hire him again and again if I needed stone or masonry work. He's a very nice guy and I highly recommend him and Rock Solid General Contractors for any type of stone work you may need. If I could give a 6th star, I would in a second. Excellent, smooth business work and business transaction. Thank you James."

"So glad we hired Bolani Masonry to install our bluestone patio. Antonio and his crew were wonderful! Their work was professional and artistic. They showed up on time, worked full days, did not interrupt the job for another one, and were great at communicating what to expect as well as collaborating on design. Plus, the whole crew was a pleasure to work with--friendly gentlemen with a terrific work ethic. All that, and a reasonable price."

"Oscar and his worker were on time, professional, courteous, pleasant and left my basement chimney area cleaner than when they found it! I believed Oscar's assessment of my problem. The work-chimney cap, liner, crown repair & masonry work- has held up in windy, rainy snowy weather. I highly recommend Quality 1st Maintenance!"

"After a long search, we hired J Escalera Landscaping to replace a 50+ old failing retaining wall and crumbling/rotting walkway behind our home. I canâ t say enough good things about Jose and his crews. The work they did was exceptional and absolutely transformed our property. After hearing so many horror stories about disappearing contractors and extreme delays, I was grateful to have an almost opposite experience. Jose was responsive to email and phone communication, super helpful when it came time to pick materials, and his crews were punctual, hard working, and respectful of my property. Would highly recommend this company for both masonry and landscaping services."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.

Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

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.
