"**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

Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

You can use adhesive strips to hang lights on brick—just make sure you get outdoor mounting tape and not just any old double-sided tape for your project.

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.
