"R&R Masonry is the best, from the office manager Robyn, to the entire crew. An estimate was given promptly after my initial call for a quote (very reasonably priced). The job was scheduled and started within days. I was promptly notified when the cement company was delayed, at no fault to Randy and his crew. Randy and his crew were professional, informative and in constant communication throughout the entire process. A concrete slab for a shed and a patio were expertly crafted with a personal touch. The crew even moved a shed and gazebo, after they cleaned up! My neighbors have even commented on how much they like their work! A HUGE bonusâ ¦ the entire crew is dog friendly! They were welcoming of my dog roaming around while they were working, and even gave him belly rubs! I plan to use R&R Masonry for all of my future home renovations!"

Customers say: Quick response

"Reliable, punctual, and attentive to detail. There were two phases to our project: 1) install an artificial "grass" area within an enclosure (fenced) for our dogs; and 2) trim low-hanging branches of trees and take down 2-3 smaller trees so as to get more sunlight into the area. Mike and his crew did the artificial turf job alone, and worked with a subcontractor for the tree work. The artificial surface is in the "so-far, so-good" stage, and we are very pleased with this result. The tree clearing and trimming was also done at a very reasonable cost, and the service of Lawn Legends and their sub-contractor was exceptional."

"The service aspect of this business was exceptional, beyond even the quality of work. When the owner was going to be late, he texted and advised me he was going to be late. It turned out he was only one hour late, but still took the time to contact me. The work was excellent. Instead of trying to sell me new bricks, he knocked the mortar off the old bricks, and used them. The bricks were of an odd size, and the other contractors wanted more than $250.00 just for the bricks! The price was more than reasonable."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

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.

Fireclay is a type of clay but it is a type of clay that, because of its chemical composition, can be fired at a much higher temperature than other clays. This results in a denser and more heat-resistant final material. Because of the high percentage of a mineral called kaolin, fireclay sinks are smoother and more durable than other clay types.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.
