We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"We were referred to Bill by someone working on our house, and we’re so glad we reached out. He responded immediately—which is rare these days—and provided a clear, reasonable estimate. We agreed to move forward that same day. The waterproofing work was excellent. Bill’s crew was professional, friendly, and happy to answer any questions we had throughout the process. Their concrete work was top-notch, and they left the space clean and tidy when the job was done. They also took the time to walk us through everything they had completed, making sure we understood each step. It’s been a month since the work was finished, and we’ve already had a couple of major rainstorms—including one with rainfall hitting 3 inches per hour. In the past, that kind of weather would’ve guaranteed a wet basement. But now? Not a single drop. We couldn’t be happier with the results. I can’t recommend them any higher. 5-stars+. "

"G&J was referred to me by another contractor I had doing my windows. My basement walls were very bad caving in. They came out and got on the job quick. The crew was great, so clean and professional and so knowledgeable. The owner came out also every day to check on my job since I was nervous about having a new foundation put in.

"We had our basement waterproofed by Baker's. It's been bone-dry since. We did have one piece of equipment fail within a month of the installation, but it was a third party dehumidifier that was just a dud I guess, no fault of Baker's. I texted the project manager about it on a Sunday. I expected a response the following week. He got back to me within the hour. The equipment was removed and replaced within a couple days. Everything great since. I would highly recommend Baker's, but specifically our project manager Nathan Goddard and the head guy on site Daylan. Can't remember his last name, but he's got a long beard and did a great job. Thanks to both of them and the rest of the guys."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.

In certain cases, such as when dealing with surfaces like concrete rather than brick, grout can be used instead of mortar. Grout tends to be more convenient to work with on non-masonry surfaces. However, many experts suggest using mortar whenever possible, as it provides stronger adherence to the bricks and results in a more textured appearance.

The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3 each.

Costs depend on material type, labor, site prep, and optional design features like borders or patterns.

Yes, it’s a good idea to use paint primer on your brick fireplace before painting it. Brick is highly absorbent, so your first few coats of paint will likely seep into the surface of your fireplace, allowing the natural color of the brick to seep through. To avoid this, you’ll want to use one or two coats of primer, followed by the topcoat.
