"FANTASTIC! Our wooden deck just wasn’t holding up even though it was well maintained. We met Sergio who listened to our needs and utilized his experience to design what we wanted. Shawn put together a proposal that was more than fair and we went forward with the project. Needless to say they exceed our expectations! The work was done on time, the crew was professional and efficient, and the finished product was well worth the expense. If you’re looking for a Five Star Company to do your concrete right, for a fair price, call Shawn at McCune Company LLC! Thank you Shawn & Sergio!!"

"It was a pleasure working with Lorain Chimney. From execution to cleanup, the work was done professionally. They were flexible enough to change the original work order and to adjust the price accordingly on the day of service. I was particularly pleased that they were willing to do this."

"I had Brick Boys Masonry handle tuckpointing on my property, and I’m beyond impressed. Nick was professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous—he really knows his craft. He took the time to ensure every joint looked perfect, and the finished brickwork looks amazing. He was reliable, communicated clearly, and made the whole process easy and stress-free. I can’t recommend and Brick Boys Masonry enough for anyone needing quality masonry work!"

"They did a great job on the foundation repair adding 8 push piers and successfully moving the foundation back into place. However, in their rush they put a hole in the back of my house with the backhoe and it took them almost 6 months to repair and repaint the damage. I still recommend them since they were the only ones with the correct foundation fix."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

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.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

Mortar is a mixture of sand and cement that binds materials, such as bricks, stones, and concrete blocks, together. Think of it as the glue that fills in the gaps between bricks and stones, then seals them in place to prevent damage or deterioration. Mortar also helps spread the load across a wall or structure, keeping cracks and shifting at bay.

Yes, brick walls often add value to a home. For starters, many people love the look of brick walls, so they can enhance your home's aesthetic appeal and add warmth to your property, especially when it aligns with the rest of your neighborhood's look. They also provide privacy and security, which can further increase the resale value of your home.
