"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"
"If you are in need of foundation repair, I highly recommend JC Pro Foundation. I recently used them to install piers at one of my rental properties. Their service was excellent from start to finish. They arrived at the jobsite at the designated time with a large enough crew to complete installing 13 piers in one day. My tenants were very complementary of how the workers took care to cause as little disturbance to them as possible. I’ve also used them to make repairs at a property that was under contract to sell. They arranged their work schedule to accommodate our short timeframe so the property could close as scheduled. They did a GREAT job. JC Pro Foundation is the one to call; 940-703-3199 Sue Lewis Gatewood Group Realty"

"Guerrero Landscaping did a very nice job on our multi-level retaining wall. They were fast, efficient, and very conscientious throughout the project. Their charges for the project were right in line with others who bid the work. Would hire them again."
"Erik and Cody were the ones to assist me. They were fantastic and patient with me, especially in my time of need as the last big wind storm we had greatly damaged my roof."
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 paint stone on the exterior of a house. It’s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You’ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.
Brick and stone are durable, low-maintenance materials for siding and walls that offer excellent insulation, aesthetic appeal, and can increase property value.
The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between $15 and $30 per linear foot. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing $25 to $50 per linear foot. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.
No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.
