Get matched with top masons in Ronks, PA

Q: How do I find a local mason?

• <div><p>Always work with <a href="http://www.angi.com/nearme/masonry/">licensed and certified masons in your area</a> when installing a stone wall or even a stone veneer. Just like all home designers, they should provide an impressive portfolio and offer a free estimate for the project. Pick the pro who fits your budget and schedule and, most importantly, helps you realize your landscape vision. </p></div>

Q: How often does brick need to be repointed?

• <div><p>Repointing brick is recommended every 25 to 30 years. Professional repointing can easily last this long if you're following all basic <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/preventive-maintenance-brick-and-stone-exteriors.htm">brick and stone maintenance tips</a>. However, you may find that you need repointing more often if you live in an area that sees harsh weather or if the construction of your home was rushed. Additionally, if you DIY your brick repointing, you&rsquo;re more likely to find that you need additional repointing more often, so every 10 to 15 years might be more appropriate. </p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between stone veneer and real stone?

• <div><p>Real stone is exactly what it sounds like: It&rsquo;s real stone sourced from the earth without additives. It is durable and unique, but it&rsquo;s difficult to work with because of its weight, challenge in sourcing, and high cost. Stone veneer mimics the look of real stone but is actually engineered with a mixture of Portland cement, natural minerals, and a colorant. While it&rsquo;s more affordable and easier to work with, it&rsquo;s less durable and may appear manufactured to the trained eye.</p></div>

Q: Can it be dangerous to drill into brick?

• <div><p>Drilling into brick doesn&rsquo;t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it&rsquo;s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall&rsquo;s structural integrity. Applying too much force can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">crack or chip the brick</a>, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. </p></div>

Q: Does limewash brick get dusty?

• <div><p>Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues. </p></div>

No one wants a plugged drain! Especially at the kitchen sink. Thank you for scheduling a service tech so quickly. A huge shout out of "thank you" to Daniel for a thorough (and tidy) job on unclogging a very clogged pipe.

Jason and his crew did a great job repairing the chimney on our house. They re-pointed the bricks, built a new crown, and installed a cap. The chimney looks as good as new! He is easy to work with, courteous, and professional. I will be calling him for any future masonry projects.
