"Edwin was very knowledgeable and gave us a fair quote. We'd have liked to gotten on his repair schedule sooner than 4 weeks before he had an opening, but completely understand now why it took so long; Mount Valley is a great company to work with! The repair work significantly improved the stability of the foundation, and the very scary settling sounds (from the stress-relief in the attic's rafters) have ceased. The cosmetics of the masonry are visibly also improved, however the foreman did not advise additional lifting of the foundation, (necessary to completely close remaining gaps in the masonry) for concern that damage in other areas could occur. This opinion was reasonable, although the masonry cracks did not completely close. There are still visible mortar gaps; before dismissing the crew, my husband advised the crew not to address mortar because they brought grey mortar, not sand-color needed. I've since asked Mount Valley what they can do for us, and am awaiting their response."

Brick can increase the value of your home depending on the type of masonry materials used. Homes generally have a higher resale value when they have brick siding, and brick is also easier to maintain (and lasts longer) than other types of siding, which can motivate buyers to make an offer.
Just keep in mind, however, that although brick can up the asking price when you sell your house, the cost to brick a house is also more expensive than other typical siding costs—so you’ll invest more in the project.
A chimney cleaning brick or log 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.
Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.
Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.
Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.
