Customers say: Quality work

"Mark Funk and his team were excellent. Mark always clearly communicated with us when he/his team would be at our house and what work needed to get done that day. His team was very professional. They repointed our 100+ year old stone house, replaced 7 window lintels, capped our chimneys, and even fixed parts of our tiled roof. They took their time exactly matching the mortar color and texture to our existing mortar. Mark even made sure the hardness of the replacement mortar matched ours to ensure it will not crack in the short term. They fixed many cracked stones and now they look as good as new! Their price was very reasonable given the sheer amount of work our house needed. We did price compare with several other stone masons and Mark was the only one who correctly realized our lintels were completely wrecked (it was very visible). Everyone else we got estimates from wanted to shove cement-- not even mortar-- into the cracks and call it a day. Mark and his team definitely know what they are doing and do it professionally. We often get comments from walkers about how nice our house looks now."

"Advanced Basement Solutions were very professional, personable and worked quickly. They were reasonably priced after I had multiple astronomical quotes and felt defeated, they reassured me that there are still great companies that wonâ t rack up the rates. I appreciated the fact that they explained the process and kept me updated with the progress. I would recommend their services to all."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.

Landscape boulders, especially porous stones like sandstone or granite, can crack or break over time. Cracks occur when water seeps into the surface of the stone and freezes. The risk is highest when it rains during the day and temperatures freeze overnight since the moisture has time to penetrate deeper into the rock before expanding.

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Not all cracks in brick indicate foundation problems. For instance, small hairline cracks can occur as a new construction settles. However, larger cracks are often a sign of a more severe issue. Indicators of a potential foundation problem include long horizontal cracks, "stair-step" cracks, vertical cracks that appear indoors, or any crack that widens at the top. Other signs of structural damage to look for are uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. These issues could be caused by problems with the soil beneath the home or an overgrown tree.

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.
