Customers say: Quick response

"We hired JT Masonry to build a retaining wall, sidewalks, a basketball court, and to complete stamped concrete around our pool. Their work was simply stellar! They are very precise in all aspects, and worked extremely hard to make sure we were pleased with everything. They showed up on time everyday, we re very respectful, and left everything in the yard very tidy. We get many compliments about all of our concrete work from the many neighbors in our development. I would not hesitate to recommend JT Masonry to anyone. They will love the results as much as we do, I m sure!"

"I own a colonial era property circa 1765. The stone chimney and the three fireplaces are central to our life in the home. Our oil burning furnace uses an additional flue and over the years the ancient clay lining has deteriorated endangering both the structural integrity of chimney and safety of the home. Our Shamrock technicians explained to me exactly what was happening in the chimney and their steps to mitigate damage and ensure safety in the home for years to come. I will be calling Shamrock on a yearly basis for further inspection and cleaning of our chimney."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

Yes, brick walls often add value to a home. For starters, many people love the look of brick walls, so they can enhance your home's aesthetic appeal and add warmth to your property, especially when it aligns with the rest of your neighborhood's look. They also provide privacy and security, which can further increase the resale value of your home.

Brick houses can last at least 100 years with minimal maintenance. With regular care and attention, including mortar repointing, brick houses can last 500 years or more.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

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.
