"**One Year Review: Block by Nick Retaining Wall and Staircase** Listen you get what you pay for! Block by Nick, built a beautiful retaining wall and staircase for my home a year ago. **Professionalism:** From our first meeting, Nick impressed me with his expertise and knowledge on a challenging winding staircase. He listened to my vision and provided valuable insights throughout the project. **Quality of Work:** The craftsmanship is outstanding. The retaining wall is both functional and visually appealing, while the staircase adds practicality and style. **Customer Service:** After a minor issue arose six months later due to heavy rain, Nick responded quickly and fixed it within a week. His commitment to customer satisfaction is commendable. I highly recommend Block by Nick for any hardscaping needs. His work has greatly enhanced my property, and I look forward to future projects with him!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Solid brick structures can last a century or more, potentially 100 to 150 years with proper maintenance like tuckpointing. Without major repairs, classic red bricks may last 20 to 40 years. Brick veneer siding is also a long-lasting material, with a lifespan ranging from 50 to 100 years, provided it is properly installed and maintained. To maintain brick veneer, you should scrub it annually with a special detergent and a soft-bristled broom. It's also important to inspect the bricks and mortar regularly and hire a masonry contractor for any necessary repairs, such as fixing worn mortar or bowing bricks.

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.

This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.
