What are the alternatives to a stone house?

• <div><p>Brick is the closest choice when seeking to capture the timeless look of stone with a more practical and budget-friendly option. When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stone-vs-brick-siding.htm">stone versus brick siding</a>, the price range of <b>$200,000 to $400,000</b> for average brick home construction is dramatically lower compared to the cost of building a stone home. If you'd like to keep the stone aesthetic without the cost, stone veneer and manufactured stone are both less expensive than real stone. </p></div>

Why did we stop using cobblestone?

• <div><p>Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">especially for driveways</a>. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities. </p></div>

Q: Should I use mortar or concrete for a chimney crown?

• <div><p>You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.</p></div>

Q: How much does brick or stone siding cost?

• <div><p>Costs range from $10 to $30 per square foot, depending on material type and labor.</p></div>

Q: Do you need a special sealant for brick pavers?

• <div><p>Yes, depending on the type of pavers you have, you may need a specific type of sealant. For example, concrete pavers will bond differently than clay pavers or faux stone pavers and will demand a different type of sealer. If you&rsquo;re unsure of the material and what type of sealant you need, you can contact the company that laid your pavers down for you.</p></div>

The pool was paid for in full prior to the start of construction, which was our mistake. We had absolutely no leverage on the company after they had all their money. They came out as scheduled for the first two days and then we didn't see the installers for 6 days. They showed up "fairly"...

Based on our experience with C&S Paving, we would strongly recommend avoiding this company. The owner, Bob Seymour, assured us that he had been in business for a long time and would stand behind his work. Well that was the furthest thing from the truth. In 2010 C&S dug out our old driveway...
