Q: How often should I clean my home’s brick?

• <div><p>You should clean your home&rsquo;s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-brick-fireplace.htm">cleaning brick fireplaces</a>. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home&rsquo;s curb appeal.</p></div>

Q: What does discolored brick mean?

• <div><p>Discoloration ondifferent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-bricks.htm">types of brick</a> can range from harmless to red flag. For example, efflorescence that is caused by a buildup of water-soluble white salt is considered harmless. However, green or greenish-yellow stains are caused by salts that are harmful to brick. Staining can also be caused by rust, corrosion, lime run, soot, algae, or moss. </p></div>

Q: What is the difference between mortar and thinset?

• <div><p>Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose&mdash;<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-tile-adhesive.htm">tile adhesion</a>&mdash;but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside. </p></div>

Q: Should I use mortar or concrete for a chimney crown?

• <div><p>You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.</p></div>

Andrew Dollar was great. He went above and beyond our expectations. He even cleaned our stepping stones to the front door and the storage building in our backyard. He was even able to get some cooking oil stains on our concrete driveway. We couldn’t ask for anything better!!
