"Adam and his team were a pleasure to work with on this project. Our Stone patio had been installed incorrectly 8 years ago. It was dry laid on sand/pebbles and not pitched correctly. Water over the years had infiltrated the base and sunk the patio, not to mention water pooling on top of the stones in certain areas as it wasn’t pitched correctly. Adam’s team dug up the entire patio, poured a cement base, cut and refitted each stone perfectly. The finished product looks fantastic and we are thrilled with the craftsmanship. Since the cement foundation raises the patio up several inches you can see the beautiful kidney deign of the patio. Adam also poured a concrete pad which he painted for our BBQ grill to rest on which gets the grill off the patio for more room. We would not hesitate to contact Adam for any new projects and highly recommend him!"

"We could not have been more pleased with our Foundation Doctor experience. We had foundation issues stemming from poor drainage, and met with three foundation / crawl space providers. From the start, Foundation Doctor put our minds at ease. They educated us on all the potential options, and helped us to make the decision that was right for us. While on site, Hitz and Fox kept us in the loop throughout the repairs, sending us updates throughout the week. They have even followed up to make sure that we know how to use our new smart sump pump. I also love the fact that these folks are local and not a huge national company. They stand by their work! We are confident that Foundation Doctor will help our family's home stay safe for many years to come."

"Eric and his crew tackled a long-standing drainage problem in the basement of our 1932 Craftsman bungalow. We'd had several estimates and options but They impressed us from the start with their solution to the problem and their professionalism. They were great communicators and kept us apprised of what they were doing every step of the way. Can't recommend them enough."

"Pedro and his team did an outstanding job for our new home. The seed and straw were not growing in our yard that the builder landscaper put down. Pedro came out to discuss the job and what we would like done. They shared recommendations to make it better and sent us the estimate. They were able to install the specific new sod we were hoping for rather quickly, and then followed-up a week later by defining our plant beds around the entire house and refreshing the pine needles. They were very responsive and I appreciated their support. I highly recommend Pedro and his team. Thanks for beautifying our new home!!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

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.

Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.

Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.
