"I hired Hector to repair the deteriorating stone above my two car garage door. I had cracking in the mortar between the stones up 20 feet along with some loose stones at the bottom. I was concerned with falling stones and mortar.
Hector arrived in the morning as planned and got right to work. Hector ensured the mortar was a good match. On his own he tossed the first batch because it was a bit too dark. Hector completed the project in a single day and left the area just as clean or cleaner than when he arrived. The stone and mortar looks great and the loose stones are secure again.
The price was very good for the amount of work accomplished, especially at up to 20 feet above the ground.
I recommend Hector for any stone or brickwork."
"The workers was very friendly and they was on time, they worked on our house 2 days. The groundworks crew did a really good job on lifting and leveling our house that was 2 inches low and the basement wall on the front of house was falling into the inside of basement, they got it leveled and secured the wall from collapsing. It was worth the cost for a piece of mind that nothing was going to fall in. The guy we had is Chritian Irving, Isaac Garcia, and Blake Berry, they kept up to date on what was going on"
"Juan and his crew are very knowledgeable, professional they respect my time and property. I save beyond what I expected compared to other companies that came out. The price was lower even with the additional 3 Piers added. I would recommend JC Pro foundations to any and everyone."
"I ordered a shed that had to be built. They came and had the concrete poured and done in one morning and luckily the shed arrived the same day. They were back the next day to build the shed. I asked if they would install a doggy door that i had purchased and they gladly installed it also. I am very very pleased with their work and their punctuality ! I will definitely call on them for any other projects I have!!!"
"Superior Excavations Solutions (Brendon) did an excellent job on my brother's anaerobic sewer system! My brother is a disabled veteran so I manage his affairs from New Mexico which can be challenging at times. But Brendon made it easy. He was working against severe rainy weather on a weekend to get this system in and get it up and running. My brother now has a new system and it is working like a charm.. I would highly recommend Brendon to put in any sewer system."
There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.
Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion
Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.
Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.
Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.
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.
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’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.
Yes, it is usually possible to repair a damaged brick mailbox. A professional brick mason or masonry contractor can perform the repairs. They can assess the damage, provide an estimate, and help you determine if the repair is worthwhile based on the mailbox's value and the extent of the damage. The repair process may involve sourcing replacement bricks and mortar. Damaged bricks can be cut out and replaced, or the mortar joints can be cut out and retucked. It's important to note that the new mortar may differ in color from the original. If the mailbox insert itself is damaged, it can typically be cut out and replaced as well. If your brick mailbox has been completely destroyed, you should check with your local building code enforcement office before rebuilding, as some areas do not allow brick mailboxes due to the potential hazard they pose to drivers.
