"Sinan Sugurgeci was the inspector who did the inspection. I was very impressed with his knowledge and presentation of services to be done. He is the main reason why I decided to hire Innovative Basement Authority to perform the necessary work"

"Pedro and his crew did a great job. They seemed to be very particular about all the details. Left me with a nice slab of concrete and no mess. Landscaping mulch all put back in place. Their price was reasonable. I would definitely hire them again!"

"He was very professional, courteous, we had a toilet overflow and come down through the kitchen ceiling, that he was working on at the time, he got the water shut off and helped on every way he could. He framed a kitchen ceiling and put up sheet rock to replace an old drop ceiling ( gross ) it turned out amazing perfect and affordable. His bid was simple and just focused on the work I needed done and didn t create extra unnecessary work to inflate the bid, which some contractors do. So it was a relief to find someone that wasn t trying to clean me out or take advantage. I would recommend highly and don t enough great things to say about him! - Jessica"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—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.

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. 

When it comes to how to paint a brick chimney, consider that standard paint can seal in moisture and cause serious chimney problems. Instead, use a vapor-permeable sealant. You’ll first scrub and sand the chimney; then, you can patch any gaps with caulk and apply the sealant. We recommend hiring a pro for this job since it entails working on the roof, which comes with a lot of necessary safety precautions.

You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.
