"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."

"This is the second time I’ve used Advanced for my basement waterproofing needs and they were again fantastic. Work was done well and it was easy to schedule. They are low pressure so if you have a project and just need to get an opinion, reach out to them. Chris is great and very attentive and helpful. Both of my waterproofing jobs still cost less the the initial job from one of the big companies, so I was really pleased with their work and price. They did a nice job cleaning up (but concrete dust gets everywhere so I still have work to do). Highly recommend!!!! I also live in a township with strict permit codes and they knew to check and help with that process (the other company did not)."

"Bakers Waterproofing is an excellent Basement Company! I had water and foundation issues in my basement which needed attention. Kris was the service advisor that came out recently and he was prompt, friendly, and very thorough! Kris explained in detail to me the issues with my basement and offered various options for mitigation and repair of my water and structural issues. Kris was honest about the scope of their work and left the decisions up to me about what I thought I could afford and handle at this time. A few years ago, I had Bakers Waterproofing do some work for me in another part of the basement. Jessie was my service advisor at that time and he was also excellent! He was able to locate the immediate source of water coming into the basement from a spring outside. He showed me all the issues with my basement, however I chose to take care of part of the basement as the other part was not crucial at that time. Jessie even found a bowing wall that other companies did not find or address. I highly recommend Bakers Waterproofing!"

"RMS Contractor's motto is "We start, we stay, we finish". Richard and his crew live up to that. From the day of the estimate to the final payment the job was well considered and well managed. The crew worked efficiently and cleaned up well. I am very eased with my new metal roof."

"John and his crew were professional answered all my questions and explained it fully. They were careful of my ceramic tile that was put down less than a year ago. When taking out the old wall they dealt with rows of glass bottles, door hinges and chisels and let us know that these obstacles took extra time.. While working on the foundation they had to deal with alot of rain. My front yard was a mess from the machinery. When they were finished they leveled out the track marks, the only thing I need to do is add grass seed"

"We have been living a nightmare with our basement they were the 3rd contractor we had come out and look at our basementâ ¦the 1st told us that we needed a French drain coming from outside which would cost over 20,000 them had another come out and tell us they can install a French drain from the inside and connect to our main stackâ ¦THANK GOD my neighbor told us that was illegalâ ¦they ripped up our basement and dug up our concreteâ ¦from the minute Advance Basement Solutions came I felt at ease and we were very skeptical and they fixed what the other contractor did and did a internal sub pump which cost us a 3rd of what others quotedâ ¦I THANK GOD that we found them I would highly recommend"

When he and his crew arrived they went to work and made a different repair than I thought was going to be done bt it was the only way to do it and we were completely satisfied with his work and would hire him again without question."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

You can hang holiday lights on brick without drilling by using hot glue, outdoor tape, or brick clips for your project. There are plenty of alternatives to consider, so consult a professional Christmas light installer to discuss the best options to preserve your brick exterior.
