"We hired JT Masonry to build a retaining wall, sidewalks, a basketball court, and to complete stamped concrete around our pool. Their work was simply stellar! They are very precise in all aspects, and worked extremely hard to make sure we were pleased with everything. They showed up on time everyday, we re very respectful, and left everything in the yard very tidy. We get many compliments about all of our concrete work from the many neighbors in our development. I would not hesitate to recommend JT Masonry to anyone. They will love the results as much as we do, I m sure!"

"Hired them to inspect and a brick house and suggest repairs. Decided to stucco coat one wall and tuck point various needed spots on the house. Brian, Jake, and Kyle spent nearly two weeks doing the job. They were professional knowledgeable and kept customer service at the forefront of the process. The price was very reasonable and the quality of service was good. Would recommend"

"We were very happy with both jobs we hired Holland Construction to complete! The first job was a big and challenging repair and re-pour of our raised concrete patio. Holland Construction did an excellent job! the patio looks great, we are very pleased and delighted with the results! Steve was a pleasure to deal with, very personable and professional. The work was top quality and the cost was very reasonable! The second job we hired Holland Construction for was to repair and resurface the chimney on our home and we are very happy with the results! We very highly recommend Holland Construction!!!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

Brick can increase the value of your home depending on the type of masonry materials used. Homes generally have a higher resale value when they have brick siding, and brick is also easier to maintain (and lasts longer) than other types of siding, which can motivate buyers to make an offer.

Just keep in mind, however, that although brick can up the asking price when you sell your house, the cost to brick a house is also more expensive than other typical siding costs—so you’ll invest more in the project.

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.
