"I could not be more grateful to Jason and his men. My basement wall blew out a hole in the foundation. Jason was 1st to show and gave a written estimate, very professional. Once the weather broke, job was complete in 3 days; area was left clear and clean. NICE!"

"Five stars! I wholeheartedly recommend Eldi landscaping services LLC for retaining wall construction. From the initial consultation to the final clean-up, his professionalism and attention to detail were exceptional. He provided a clear and detailed quote, outlining all materials and labor costs upfront, with no hidden surprises. His team worked efficiently and respectfully, keeping the worksite clean and organized throughout the project. Most importantly, the retaining wall itself is sturdy, visually appealing, and built to the exact specifications we discussed. Eldi is not only a skilled craftsman but also a reliable and communicative professional; he addressed all my questions promptly and patiently. I am thrilled with the final result and would definitely hire him again for future projects."

"We LOVE our new awning!!!! Have used it eveyday since it was installed. Bob, the owner was wonderful ! Jake and Shawn did the install and were hardworking and pleasant to work with. The awning was ordered in early May but took a while due to supply shortages. Bob was in touch with the company several times for updates for us. The awning was installed on a Sat. the day after they received it. Would definitely recommend Champs. Will enjoy for years to come!"

"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!"

"In all my years of hiring various contractors for work done on my own place, as well as for work done at some properites I managed for many years, (30)I have never had such excellent work done by any conractor. Not only did All Dry Basement honor their written estimate, they went beyond several times on other things not covered, but related. This was all done in Covid times. All workers were always unfailingly polite, respectful, neat, organized, prompt etc. Fill in the words of your choice for attributes that you would look for in a contactor, and you have a picture of All Dry basement people."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.

Brick can increase the value of your home depending on the type of masonry materials used. Homes generally have a higher resale value when they have brick siding, and brick is also easier to maintain (and lasts longer) than other types of siding, which can motivate buyers to make an offer.

Just keep in mind, however, that although brick can up the asking price when you sell your house, the cost to brick a house is also more expensive than other typical siding costs—so you’ll invest more in the project.

It’s called cobblestone because it’s made of stones that are “cobbed” together. A cob is a term that refers to rounded lumps. Originally, cobblestone streets were made from pebbles and stones gathered from riverbeds that had been rounded over time by the passage of water. The term has nothing to do with a cobbler, which is the term for someone who makes and fixes shoes.

Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.
