Q: Can you drill into brick with a regular drill?

• <div><p>You may not need a hammer drill if you&rsquo;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. </p></div>

Q: What is the best color to paint a brick fireplace?

• <div><p>The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors&mdash;like white or gray&mdash;will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/overcoming-fear-color-home-decor.htm">bold color</a> can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. </p></div>

Q: How much does masonry work cost?

• <div><p>The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:</p><ul><li><p>Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10&ndash;$45 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Natural stone wall: $40&ndash;$110 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Manufactured stone veneer: $20&ndash;$40 per square foot</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-would-it-cost-remove-old-brick-and-brick-house.htm">Brick home exterior</a>: $10&ndash;$30 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick siding: $3&ndash;$10 per square foot</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stone-siding-cost.htm">Stone siding</a>: $35&ndash;$50 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick step replacement: $20&ndash;$30 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Brick wall repair: $20&ndash;$40 per square foot</p></li><li><p>Chimney repairs: $160&ndash;$750 per project</p></li><li><p>Tuckpointing: $5&ndash;$25 per square foot</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do chimney cleaning bricks work?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-creosote-sweeping-logs-really-work.htm">chimney cleaning brick or log</a> can help loosen creosote between professional chimney cleaning appointments. Although they can help keep your chimney cleaner, they are not a substitute for chimney sweeping and are not meant to be used regularly.</p></div>

Q: Where can I buy bricks?

• <div><p>You can purchase from many brick manufacturers and distributors via their websites, where you can also get estimates based on the quantity you need. You&rsquo;ll find bricks at your local home improvement stores as well, though they won&rsquo;t have as much of a variety to choose from. As for antique bricks, secondary selling websites like eBay can be a great resource.</p></div>

Sean put in an outdoor shower for us and did a really great job. I was unsure of what to do for the flooring and he decided on blue stone with a cobblestone outline that matched my patio. That was perfect. Really nice guy easy to work with with great ideas.
