"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 are highly satisfied. This is our second experience with Mendoza Stone Masonry's work. The first was 5 yrs ago building our fire place at home and, again we had the pleasure to let our business project to the professional team of Mendoza Stone Masonry's, and as before, it exceeds our expectations. Keep the good work. Thank You."

"Randy was great and called me within minutes to get details on the project, then arranged to have Tony, one of their masons, come see it in person. Tony was friendly, professional, and did a great job once I decided to go with them to repair some crumbling brick walls in our backyard. I appreciate how quickly they were able to start the work, within a couple weeks from inquiry to completion. Would recommend to anyone needing masonry done."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

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.
