"I will hire Travis again because he is very unusual in that he cares very much about the customer, and the quality of his work. He is not the cheapest option, I did my research. But I would not hesitate to hire him again, and I will, with my next Masonry project."

"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"

"NE Foundation Crack Repair did a full repoint of our late-1800s basement (which looked like it hadn't been done ever!). Staff were super responsive during estimate and project processes. Cost was reasonable. What I appreciated most was how communicative and respectful the guys who completed the job were. Overall, we are so happy to have used this company."

"I had a wonderful experience with Tom Ricci, owner of American Building Co, whom I found through Angie’s List. He responded to my request for a mason right away, arrived exactly when we had agreed, and clearly explained the work that needed to be done. He sent me a detailed quote that same evening and completed the job effortlessly. His craftsmanship was truly impressive, and the finished result—repairs to my front steps—was impeccable. Tom is also incredibly versatile in his knowledge; he’s a true jack of all trades. I highly recommend him!"

"It is hard to overstate the excellent work I had done via Northern Grey Masonry and in particular its owner/principal, Derek Waters. We had an exterior front staircase leading to our front door. Derek was a last minute 3rd bid I almost did as an afterthought and he knocked me off my feet. He immediately gave me several major and very thoughtful redesign tips and helped expand our project signficantly for the better in an affordable way that turned our staircase rebuild into an absolute showpiece. He was comfortable talking to both me and my wife and even spent hours with us in a quarry rethinking stone choices. He was flexible with design and always picked up the phone on the first ring for when we called. We ended up with a stairway that turned an unplanned emergency project into the envy of the neighborhood. He works with his father, also a master mason whose decades of experience added even further to this perfect project. I truly could not recommend him more."

"Very precise work was required to take trees down where they were located. They did an amazing job and then planted arborvitae in their place. Cleared away milkweed and other weeds and made 2 new beds with new grass and tree. Team was very professional and courteous-and double checked with me that tasks were performed to my satisfaction."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.

Masonry is an umbrella term that involves adhering individual building materials together using an adhesive, so many different things are considered masonry. These include constructing stone or brick walls or facades, installing stucco siding, installing backsplashes or tile floors, and even installing glass block windows, in some cases. Masonry materials include natural stone, clay bricks, concrete bricks, glass blocks, and tiles.

To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.
