"It went extremely well they delivered exactly what we had envisioned for our patio. Came everyday until the job was done. We’ve never had a project completed this smoothly and in the timely fashion. I would highly recommend J&G Masonry to my friends/colleagues and will be utilizing them for future work."

"I can't recommend Worthley Masonry enough. I first hired Worthley Masonry to rebuild ~30' of a retaining wall that was bowing out and falling apart. They took the wall down, added proper drainage, straightened the wall, and then rebuilt it using the stones that were originally there to match the rest of the retaining walls on my property. They did such a great job on the retaining wall that I hired them to re-do my ugly poured cement walkway. They added steps to make it safer, set it at a proper gradient for drainage, and created a beautiful design using pavers and edging stones I had picked out. Communication was top notch and they answered all of my questions and explained why they were doing things the way they were. I couldn't be happier with how my retaining wall and front walkway turned out. Travis (the owner) is extremely hard working and completely honest about everything he does. He's easy to talk to and is extremely proud of his work and it shows. He puts the time and effort into his work as if it was his own home. We gave him creative freedom with our walkway and it looks amazing. I'd hire him again for any stone work I needed done in the future."

"I contacted Kevin for a quote on a Thursday, sent him some pictures and dimensions, he gave me a quote, and Friday morning he and his team were at my house starting the project. They demo'ed all the brick and hauled it away and began the first stages of the concrete slab (smoothing out the loam, adding drainage rocks, putting up the forms). Concrete truck came on Monday morning, and the whole thing was done by Monday afternoon. Despite it being "just" a concrete slab, it looks incredible; Kevin absolutely takes pride in his work and makes sure you're happy with all aspects of the project before he calls it done. This was the easiest and fastest home improvement project I've ever had done. I would hire him again in an instant, and I would recommend him to anyone who needs masonry work done. Highly recommended!"

"It is with great alacrity and satisfaction that I write this review of Arch Masonry. We undertook some renovations on our house, and the lower section required masonry work. I reached out to Arch Masonry, and Derk promptly contacted me, coming to our home to provide a fair estimate for the job. Derek’s employees were professional and completed the work with great care. We had the front of the house mended, and we were so pleased that we decided to continue the masonry work on the back of the house and the foundation. Derek was timely in his work and offered competitive pricing. I would highly recommend Arch Masonry to anyone seeking high-quality masonry services. Derek embodies professionalism, and I often wish I had the money, land, and resources to build a grand castle in my neighborhood, constructed by Derek’s masonry company. Sincerely, The Mosleys"

"It was a real pleasure dealing with the owner and his crew. They did a superb job (not that I went up on the roof to check it up close and personal, but rather relied on the report from my roofer). They priced their job fairly. They came in a timely manner (I was replacing my roof and wanted the job done before the new roof went on). It was a real pleasure working with them."

"They have a drone that took excellent photos before and after the job. The The job was to replace the chimney stack from the roof up. The chimney looks great. Unfortunately they delayed the work day 3 times, blaming each other for miscommunication. The day they finally showed up (over a month later) they requested an extra $1,800.00 blaming the other partner for under estimating the job. I regret not telling him to take his scaffolding down and leave. Nice enough guys but that was not right."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.

Whether you’re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you’re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you’ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means your home build will take longer, as it’s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.

Mortar is a mixture of sand and cement that binds materials, such as bricks, stones, and concrete blocks, together. Think of it as the glue that fills in the gaps between bricks and stones, then seals them in place to prevent damage or deterioration. Mortar also helps spread the load across a wall or structure, keeping cracks and shifting at bay.
