"Long Hill Masonry renovated our front and rear stoops, which after 65 years were slowly falling apart. My husband and I are Thrilled with how they turned out. Within 2 days of our call, Joe Tavella (Owner) came to our home to give us an estimate. We explained what our ideas were and Joe even added further suggestions to improving the design. Joe, through his expertise and knowledge was able to do what 3 other contractors told us they couldn't do. After knowing this and with a fair quote, we asked Joe when can he start the job. The job was then completed in a very timely manner (in 1 day). Joe and his team were neat reliable, efficient, meticulous and took real pride to producing top quality work. End result...Perfection at it's Best! Beautiful stoops to last a Lifetime! Without hesitation we look forward to having Long Hill Masonry do another project for us. Would highly recommend."

"Joe and his crew did an excellent job with the installation of about 1500 square feet of backyard pavers. There are a lot of little decisions that come up along the way and with Joe’s knowledge and experience these were all solved. He was there every day involved with his crew. Price was competitive and reasonable. I highly recommend Long Hill Masonry."

"Bob's team came in today on time, with all the equipment they needed, Removed the sidewalk and chopped the tree roots that caused the walkway to buckle. formed and filled the new space with concrete. All done in about 5 hours. Great job, men were cordial and worked steady on through until the end of the project. and cleaned up afterward. I think my nextdoor neighbor will hire them for his sidewalk. Great job. 5 stars ."

"The F&B crew was great. They showed up when they were supposed to, worked hard all day, and did beautiful work. Jessy helped me find the perfect materials for my jobs. She made sure that every last detail was taken care of. She really went the extra mile to make sure that I was completely satisfied with their work. I would strongly recommend F&B Masonry to anyone looking to have stone work done at their home or business."

"Hands down the best service I received in a long time. Knowledgeable, Punctual and Reasonable are a few qualities that come to mind. Misael fixed my front steps and also refilled my existing pavers with the right sand that the prior contractor did not do. His attention to detail is on point. He did an excellent job of cleaning up after completing his work, which to me is the biggest selling point for myself. Would highly highly recommend him for your next job!"

"DiMassi and Sons installed a block wall, paths, block steps a replacement stoop and designer portico. No sub-contractors were used for any phase of the work. Sal DiMassi was there working alongside his talented crew every step of the way. They showed up every day until the job was completed, no matter how cold and bleak the weather, and worked until dark. His pricing was fair and more than competitive especially considering the finished job we received. Sal really knows his stuff. In fact, I'm having them come back in the spring to build us a new driveway. I highly recommend DiMassi and Sons Landscaping for any sort of outdoor stone work, but only if you want your job to stand out among all others and be finished in a timely and professional manner."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case.
