Why did we stop using cobblestone?

• <div><p>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, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-install-asphalt-driveway.htm">especially for driveways</a>. 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. </p></div>

Is a fireplace the same as a firepit or outdoor oven?

• <div><p>A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-outdoor-pizza-oven.htm">outdoor brick pizza ovens</a>—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime my brick fireplace before painting?

• <div><p>Yes, it&rsquo;s a good idea to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">paint primer</a> 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&rsquo;ll want to use one or two coats of primer, followed by the topcoat. </p></div>

Q: Is stone veneer less expensive than stone?

• <div><p>Stone veneer siding is approximately four times less expensive than stone because it's made of concrete and aggregates instead of natural stone. But veneer looks like real stone, is easier to install, and acts as a great, durable siding option. </p></div>

Q: Can you repoint over old mortar?

• <div><p>You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.</p></div>

Pontius power washed and sealed our paver driveway, and also relayed paver stones on walkways. He was very polite, professional and productive from start to finish! We had some issues with the pavers and Stephen fixed the problem without hesitation and at no charge. Would recommend.

Just moved to the area. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. They noticed that my trailer tires were low in air after loading with stone. They were kind enough to fill my tires so I could go on my merry way. AWSOME STAFF!!!
