"We had a great experience getting our patio done. Nate was communicative throughout the entire project, always keeping us informed on progress and any issues they encountered along the way. He also made a point to stop by in person to review everything and talk things through, which we really appreciated. Their availability was very flexible, making the whole process easy to coordinate. Most importantly, the final result is absolutely beautiful! We are so happy with how it turned out and look forward to spending time on it this summer!"

"We had the following done by Douglas Landscaping: two sets of concrete stairs, a walkway, railings, a curb, and river rock installed on a slope. Trenton and crew are responsive, professional and hard working. To begin, Trenton promptly reached out to us after we requested an online quote. He came out, talked to my husband and I about what we wanted done, made suggestions, and took measurements. He got back to us promptly with a quote that detailed what would be done with the cost. We signed a contract and set a start date. The crew showed up early each day and put in a full day’s work. He checked with us along the way to be sure we were happy with the progress. At the end, he made sure the work met our expectations. He was professional every step of the way. Thank you!!"

"Took 3 visits but was well worth the time, attention and patience to get the job done right. First day was inspection and quote for repairs/materials. Work started that day to patch the cement crown that was cracked and channeling water down one side of the chimney eroding bricks. A bowed metal plate on the chimney to shed water between the two flue caps was flattened and sealed with cement so it did not show from the ground and so flies would stop entering into the house thru one of the flues. Crumbling mortar was replaced between bricks and bricks were waterproofed. The chimney was measured and the cap to cover the entire chimney was ordered. The 2nd visit got rained out. The 3rd visit was a good weather day and the cap was assembled, installed and cemented in place. It is amazing how strong the animal guard around the 4 sides of the chimney is. The crew at all times was friendly, courteous & very competent being careful to do the entire project as if it was their home."

"I needed a full landscaping overhaul and after vetting three companies, I chose AJM Land Pros. Their pricing was fair, the owner was punctual every time, and it was obvious he genuinely cares about his customers. The results exceeded my expectations, and I’ll definitely be using them again for future projects"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

The premise for painting a brick building is fairly simple: Prime the bricks to seal the surface and apply the top coat to protect your brick home. However, it’s easy to miss a few important steps if you’re starting from a raw brick surface and don’t know the basics of how to paint brick. So be sure to reach out to a local professional painter if you have any reservations about correctly painting your brick house.

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.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

Staining or painting brick isn’t something to do on a whim. Make sure you really want to live with stained brick, because once you apply the stain, it’s permanent. Sure, it will fade over time, but you can’t restore the brick to its natural tones after applying a stain or paint.
