"I had a sinking concrete entryway replaced. I love working with Disciple Masonry. They are all around absolute pros. The job was excellent, and the guys were knowledgeable and professional. The entryway looks fantastic. If you need masonry work, these are the only people to call. I have also had them do repointing on my stone and chimney. I wouldn’t consider working with anyone else!"

"Michael's crew were at our home on time and worked efficiently and cleanly (or as clean as can be expected for indoor masonry work). Fireplace grout was chiseled by hand and completely repointed. Looks great, and wouldn't hesitate to hire Michael again.

"We needed repairs to the brick foundation in our basement and had used Mendoza Stone Masonry before with great results. John called us within hours and was at the house the next day. He inspected the job, gave us a good price, and scheduled us for the following week. The work was done today, and we could not be happier. They went above and beyond, resetting and repairing the wall from end to end and at the chimney. They cleaned up and moved all the stuff back against the wall for us. They were friendly and efficient, and they did excellent work. I highly recommend Mendoza Stone Masonry!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

No, it’s not recommended to attach shutters to brick without drilling. Brick is dense and built to last, so adhesives and shortcut methods don’t usually cut it. Even heavy-duty glue struggles to hold up over time—especially against wind, moisture, and temperature changes. Most no-drill options are made for materials like vinyl or wood, not solid masonry. Skipping the drill might seem easier, but it puts your shutters—and anything below them—at risk. For a secure, lasting install, drilling is the way to go. It takes more effort up front, but the result is safer and more reliable.
