"We hired Harvin Masonry to extend our small patio with pavers. Baron Harvin was a wealth of information in our decision making process. He and his crew worked very professionally completing our project. There were delays due to heavy rains and Baron knew to wait until the ground was dry enough to proceed. We could not be happier with the end result and the attention to detail. The surrounding yard was left very clean as well. Will definitely hire Harvin Masonry again for any future projects of this sort."

"The project was to create a walkway through a large, heavily landscaped rear section of my backyard to showcase the the massive live oak trees, shrubbery & flowering plants. Scott, owner of Green Landscaping, designed a path using garden step stones so that I could walk in & around the entire area to cut flowers or just sit on a bench & admire the surrounding beauty. The result was truly magical & I was thrilled with my “secret garden” thanks to Scott’s vision, creativity & hardworking crew."

"Someone hit my brick mailbox and I hired Peace Construction to rebuild it. It only took 1 day to be rebuilt. The bricks for the mailbox matched the exact bricks on my home. It looked better than the one that was damaged. The owner was very professional and extremely easy to work with. I would DEFINITELY recommend Peace Construction for any masonry needs. They are quick and professional. I was very satisfied and the price was exceptionally reasonable."

"Havier and his crew did a remarkable job installing a new sprinkler system. They not only installed the system in one day but I has laid sod ahead of contacting Javier to put in the system. Javier said they would peel back the new sod and hand dig to install the system since the trencher would tear up the sod. Javier was correct everything went back the way it was to start with. You can not tell anything was dug up. Excellent job!!! I would highly recommend Javier Ramos Landscaping LLC for your landscaping needs. They really take pride in their work."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

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.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings.
