"**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

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

Choosing the right paint color for your brick house can be a daunting task. A great strategy is to find painted brick houses that you like and try to replicate the look by researching their colors or asking the homeowners for the specific paint color code.

If you're looking for specific ideas, several colors work well on brick. Different shades of white, such as off-white or cream-white, can create a modern, timeless, and classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. For a more contemporary aesthetic, you might consider a matte black tone. Other popular choices include gray, blue, and sage green.

You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.
