"I needed emergency repairs to the outside of my brick house. The estimate from R&R was the most reasonable (most other masonry contractors refused to come out in the middle of winter or their estimates were outrageous). R&R wes able to start the work immediately and completed the work quickly. The crew was very pleasant and professional, and cleaned up after the work was done. Very pleased customer!"

"Mr. Higgins is professional, respectful, honest and efficient. He provided me an honest assessment of my current chimney situation with multiple options to repair and improve the situation. My family and I have been pleased with all the additional services such as fall/spring clean up, masonry work etc. Mr Higgins communicates to his customers and is easy to get ahold of. He returns phone calls promptly and is very reasonable. I recommend this company to anyone for household needs."

"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

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.

Masonry is an umbrella term that involves adhering individual building materials together using an adhesive, so many different things are considered masonry. These include constructing stone or brick walls or facades, installing stucco siding, installing backsplashes or tile floors, and even installing glass block windows, in some cases. Masonry materials include natural stone, clay bricks, concrete bricks, glass blocks, and tiles.

Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.
