"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

The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.

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.

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.
