"We had experienced some water damage on our baseboards in the basement. I scheduled an appointment with Jack for a free estimate of necessary services. Jack arrived at the stated time and conducted a complete evaluation of the basement. To my delight the basement was found to be very dry and Jack recommended doing nothing at this time. Honestly, I would have believed someone less honest if told that my basement needed services. This company is very trustworthy and explained exactly why services are not warranted at this time. Have held onto his card and will call if necessary in the future. Would highly recommend because they are honest. This is one of those repairs that you really do need to trust what you're told without knowing too much about the process. Even if things don't go my way next time, I would be comfortable in the knowledge that I am being told the truth."

"They are very friendly, thorough, consult you all the way through the project. They clean up every day and let me know what they would be doing the following day. I am actually having them complete another project again."

"Absolutely easy to work with, we had great communication throughout the project being completed. Took extra time due to myself wanting a special ordered trench drain to be used in front of the garage. We liked that they came out for a final inspection of the work that had been done and to see if we were happy with it before final payment to be made. We would hire again if needed. Good job installing the new house downspout drain pipe and trench drain."

"I hired EB Masonry to rebuild my retainer wall which was leaning considerably toward my home due to built up pressure. The crew arrived on time every day and finished the job in a short amount of time. They all were courteous and respectful. They were also conscientious about the quality of the work they were doing. I was very satisfied with the results and highly recommend this company if you need masonry work done."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

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.

You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.
