"Overall, I'm satisfied with the service, quality, and price. I had scheduled the driveway and concrete work over a month ahead of time. Unfortunately, due to an abundance of rain, TMC was backed up in their work and needed to complete the job several weeks after the approximate date they originally communicated. I didn't have a problem with this, but I would prefer that they sent me an email or gave a phone call to let me know rather than me having to call them to find out why there was a delay. After that point, communication improved and I was given advanced notice of the exact date of work. The work was completed quickly and I am very satisfied with the look of the new driveway and concrete. I'm also satisfied with the quality of the grading that was done to minimize puddling on the driveway (a major reason I had the driveway replaced in the first place). Unfortunately, the work crew forgot to put up caution tape after the job was done as we agreed to, but they were apologetic and offered to come back later that day to do it. The price of the service was competitive with other quotations that I had received for the work."

"I got a quick response to my inquiry and had an estimate the same day. The price was very reasonable. He took pictures of the damage in my chimney. Explained the repair process. The job was completed on schedule with new pictures of his work. I am completely satisfied and highly recommend Set in Stone Forever for any stucco job you have."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It’s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You’ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.

Unless you’ve worked in the masonry industry before, it is in your best interest if you hire a pro for any masonry needs. Masonry-related jobs require a high skill level and can be extremely time-consuming. If anything goes wrong, a licensed and insured masonry contractor would be able to take care of the subsequent repairs, giving you additional peace of mind.

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.

Brick houses can last at least 100 years with minimal maintenance. With regular care and attention, including mortar repointing, brick houses can last 500 years or more.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.
