"Randazzo Masonry did a fantastic job with the masonry on my backyard. I thought I was going to have to tear up a lot and fully replace it to “make it right”. But Stephen Randazzo walked me through what he would do to fix it and convinced me it was the right move. The job is complete and the outcome exceeded my expectations. Super professional, easy to communicate with. Got the job done quickly, cleanly and professionally. Would hire again."

"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!"

"Retaining Walls and Driveway with Pavers. I hired the Napolitano Brothers to build a massive retaining wall in my backyard. They also completed a 95 foot driveway with pavers and Belgium block. They did a phenomenal job! They were very professional and committed to their work. I could not have been more pleased with the finished project. Their design sense was also exceptional. When people come into my home they gravitate to the back door and look upon my yard in awe. Thank you for what you created! I highly recommend them. They were also very fairly priced."

"We are SO happy with Sal and his team. Sal’s price was very reasonable and he communicated with us from start to finish. His team was on time and stayed late each day until the project was completed. Either Sal, his son, or his wife was on site each day. After starting, we asked Sal if he could take down a tree for us and his guys did it right away, leaving no sign of the stump. They did an amazing clean-up when the project was completed - even hauling away clutter and mess that was there before they started! They also returned days after the project was completed to put down grass seed. We LOVE our new patio, walkways, and pool deck - the pavers look beautiful!! We’ve already asked Sal to come back and give us an estimate on masonry work in the front yard!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Mortar, or masonry mortar, is mainly used in joints and as parging for stone, brick, or cement construction. Stucco is primarily a surface material used as wall coverings. For maintenance, masonry will need repointing or replacing as damage or land shifting occurs, whereas stucco will need patching or refinishing as it tends to crack over time along with other types of wear-and-tear.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.

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.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.
