"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!"

"Excellent! Dan and his crew did great work in each phase of the project. Dan came up with a very creative design that fit the space wonderfully, then he & his crew installed a flat sandstone patio & walkway that perfectly compliments the sandstone block foundation of our century home."

"Jake came right out, took a look at our foundation wall and knew what was needed to repair it. At first he told us it would be possible to schedule the work on a Saturday, but as it turned out they were able to complete it the same week he came out. Jake worked right along with his workmen. They did a wonderful job of correcting the bowed and cracked wall. The lifetime, transferable warranty was welcome news. The price was much less than anticipated. We would definitely hire them again."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.

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 houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.
