"I have used L&Z Masonry Corp. for multiple projects over the past 3 years. In each case, the work done was excellent. The owner prepared professional quotations with line-item breakdowns of costs. The work started on time and was completed on time. The workers conducted themselves in a professional manner and put in a full day's work every day. The owner regularly inspected the work that was done and had his crew make adjustments to ensure high quality results. The owner also kept me, the customer, informed as projects progressed and was very responsive to my questions &/or changes that I wanted to make. L&Z Masonry exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend their services."

"Excellent. James Walsh and his crew were punctual, professional and truly helpful in resolving not only our water issue but any unforeseen circumstance that arose during the demo. He is a man of integrity with very high standards. I would highly recommend Rock Solid General Contractors for any masonry work which you might need to have done."

"Work was done well and what was done looks good. The spacing between the blocks is less than the original which looks better but this resulted in the need for more blocks. I purchased additional blocks so that they could complete the border on one side but the other side is borderless. The job was supposed to have the walkway look the same once completed. Also, the material used in between the blocks has come out and popped up in places. I texted a couple of times to have it fixed but to no avail"

"Bright Stone did a good job repairing the steps to my front door and the retaining walls in my drive way. He even pointed out additional repairs that should be done, which I had overlooked. However, I do feel that I was overcharged for the work and would definitely recommend negotiating (and getting a 2nd opinion). But overall Bright Stone did a good job and I am satisfied with their work."

"The job took 1.5 days because I had moved everything to the center of the basement. They had 5+ feet of clearance around the perimeter, with plastic covering hung from floor joists. The dust still managed to cover everything behind the plastic walls. My advice: do a thorough job of sealing the space or be prepared to have a big dust cleanup. Only disappointment was that the drain at the foot of the steps to the bilco doors was positioned directly below the internal door. You cannot install a sill on top of this so when finishing we will now have a dangerous transition. This was never explained. Otherwise, a great crew."

"I hired MV Masonry to repair a block retaining wall. After speaking to Mike he advised me to build a new one. I received a few other quotes first but went with Mike because he truly seemed like the only honest person I spoke to and he didn’t cut any corners. I know the wall is going to hold up. Mike was incredibly responsive and is very knowledgeable about what he’s doing. He doesn’t just try to quickly smack on a finish coat and call it a day like most of these other contractors and call it a day. I highly recommend him. You don’t find people like him anymore!!"

"We have an old house built in the 1920s and wanted to completely gut the bathroom, with new tilework both in and out of the shower, new plumbing and electrical fixtures, and a total closet remodel. It went great. I bid the job out to three different contractors, it was immediately obvious that Hector was the most qualified. He had great suggestions that showed his experience. I was also pleased to see that his price was very competitive. Throughout the job he was responsive and helpful, always keeping me posted on when things would get done and what to expect next. He stayed pretty close to the initial timelines that we talked about the. The work itself is extremely high quality, and that included detailed tile work, as well as plumbing and electrical. I couldn't be happier with how this project went. I have two other bathrooms that need to be renovated, and Hector will absolutely be the first person I call when I'm ready to start work."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.

Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.

Not all cracks in brick indicate foundation problems. For instance, small hairline cracks can occur as a new construction settles. However, larger cracks are often a sign of a more severe issue. Indicators of a potential foundation problem include long horizontal cracks, "stair-step" cracks, vertical cracks that appear indoors, or any crack that widens at the top. Other signs of structural damage to look for are uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. These issues could be caused by problems with the soil beneath the home or an overgrown tree.

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.

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.
