"We hired Ronnie (Mudsmith Masonry) to build a brick mailbox. He did an excellent job: showed up on time, completed the work with great workmanship, and we are extremely satisfied with the end result."
"Noah and his team did a great job at my building making repairs and rebuilding a collapsed wall. He gave me a fair price, was timely, cleaned up after, and finished on time. If you need a great mason, this is your guy!"
"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!!"
"Here to remove large tree branches that damaged my roof. They arrived the morning after the storm to tarp my roof and remove the branches. The repair was completed the next week. Garage looks great, very satisfied with project. They communicated with my insurance to help me get coverage for the damage. My yard was cleaned up after they finished. I would recommend this company 100%, great job"
"Lloyd called and was very knowledgeable and pleasant to speak with. Scheduled a quick consult. Would have worked with him but daughter got family friend to do project.
Will keep his info for future projects."
"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."
"Workers showed up on time. Big job installing tiles to waterproof our 110 year old house. We are very happy with the results. It was an expensive project but well worth the money"
"Armondo and his crew replaced two landscaped areas in and around the driveway with concrete. We are extremely pleased with their work and the result. It is exactly what we wanted. If we ever need concrete again we will be calling them."
"The techs did a great job, and once I alerted them to my flower beds directly in front of the porch to be lifted, were very careful not to damage my emerging hostas. I'd definitely recommend Acculevel and already have to my sister for her patio/parking spot."
A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.
Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.
Solid brick structures can last a century or more, potentially 100 to 150 years with proper maintenance like tuckpointing. Without major repairs, classic red bricks may last 20 to 40 years. Brick veneer siding is also a long-lasting material, with a lifespan ranging from 50 to 100 years, provided it is properly installed and maintained. To maintain brick veneer, you should scrub it annually with a special detergent and a soft-bristled broom. It's also important to inspect the bricks and mortar regularly and hire a masonry contractor for any necessary repairs, such as fixing worn mortar or bowing bricks.
Brick stain doesn’t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That’s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.
Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.
