"Escalante Masonry arrived quickly and on time and worked throughout the day with three guys nonstop. All the work was meticulous and professional. He even found other problems that he solved that weren’t in the original estimate. He didn’t leave my house till everything was perfect : the chimney that bluestone caps, the bluestone pavers and more. I would definitely hire this professional again. All workers were kind and courteous and very meticulous."
"They installed Cambridge paving stones around pool, patio, walkway and installed retaining wall. In addition they installed artificial turf. The price was more than fair and the installers were experts. They encountered many obstacles along the way and were fair with the cost for the required solutions. The backyard turned out great!"
"This was a professional job from start to finish. Channel drain project. Every aspect was done correctly. Slade explained, gave me my options, and then showed up as scheduled to do the job. He takes a lot of pride in his work. He used concrete to set the drains in place to make sure they will not shift over time. He was careful about the pitch of the drains. Left a neat work site. I have no doubt the installation will last a long time. Works very well. Worth every dollar. No need to look any further. 5 stars."
"Eric was very responsive to my needs, and did excellent work on both projects! I already have recommended Goodrich Masonry to a neighbor, and would surely do so with others in the future."

The craftsmanship is top-notch, with precise workmanship that truly elevates my property. The team was punctual, courteous, and left the site clean each day. I highly recommend OSORTO CARRANZA CONSTRUCTION for anyone seeking a reliable and skilled masonry contractor!"

If you’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.
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.
Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.
The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings.
Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.
