"This company is excellent to deal with, under Stefan Fodor. I have had the company do lawn work, plus installing twelve Norwegian spruce trees. The work quality was excellent, and the pricing is reasonable."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I couldn't be happier with the work Legacy Concrete did on my front sidewalk. They removed the old, damaged concrete and completely redid the walkway, and the results are outstanding. From the initial estimate to the final cleanup, their team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. The quality of the workmanship exceeded my expectations. The new sidewalk looks fantastic, has greatly improved the curb appeal of my home, and was completed with great attention to detail. The crew kept the work area clean, communicated clearly throughout the project, and made sure everything was done right. If you're looking for a reliable concrete company that takes pride in its work and delivers excellent results, I highly recommend Legacy Concrete. I would absolutely use them again for future projects. This company went above and beyond!"

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.

You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.

The United States Postal Service (USPS) recommends placing a mailbox 6 inches to 8 inches back from the curb. If your lot is unusual, speak with town authorities or the local post office to determine the correct placement.

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

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.
