"We feel so lucky that we called Pat Palmieri for the work we needed done on nearly century-old brick pillars adjoining our front steps. They had sunk and pulled away from the brick arches adjoining the steps. He considered various options with a priority of saving the old bricks, as new bricks would be hard to match. He did meticulous work in building a new foundation for the pillars, and his tuck pointing of the deteriorated stairs brought it all together. This guy is an old-school craftsman. And just a wonderful person to deal with. Highly recommended."

"I have worked with Dan and his team for over four years. He has helped transform my property into a beautiful natural field and forest landscape with walking trails, an impressive collection of native trees and plants surrounded by a perimeter of evergreens for privacy. In addition, he designed and installed a stone patio that creates the perfect environment to sit and enjoy his handiwork. Highly recommended!"

"I was extremely happy and impressed with the work Dan Hickin and his team at Organic Roots Horticulture did in removing our old brick patio and replacing it with natural stone pavers. Dan was very professional and responsive from start to finish during the process and at a competitive price. Perhaps most impressively, for the first time in recorded history a contractor, in this case Dan Hickin, finished our project not only on time but ahead of schedule!"

"Eli and his wife, Amy, were incredibly easy to reach throughout the process. Eli came out right away to look at the yard and give a quote. When it came to design, they were happy to consider changes to our original plans and made sure we got exactly what we wanted. The finished project looks great!"

"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 FAQs, answered by experts

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

A chimney cleaning brick or log can help loosen creosote between professional chimney cleaning appointments. Although they can help keep your chimney cleaner, they are not a substitute for chimney sweeping and are not meant to be used regularly.

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.

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.
