"Smoky Mountain Deck Builders was the middle of three estimates in cost. We found them to be very professional and thorough throughout the job. Jeremy, the foreman during the entire construction, ran a tight ship, maintained an orderly job site, and found and corrected all problems. I would give him the highest possible rating."

"The mortar on my front brick steps was crumbling away. JNA did a great job repairing them! The associate worked all day to remove all of the old mortar and then filled in all of the spaces with new mortar. He even repaired the sides of my steps that were hidden. The project was completed in one day. My parents were shocked when they saw how good my steps looked when they came over for a visit. The craftsmanship and courtesy exhibited were amazing. The owner even contacted me after his associate left to make sure I was satisfied with the work. I highly recommend them!"

"Extremely well. John and his uncle were very personable and very professional. They worked methodically and carefully, yet very smoothly together, and put together a deck which was even better than what we had discussed when John and I had first talked about the project."

"Fanel American Pavers did an awesome job in paving my patio area. The area looks amazing and I would definitely call for future projects. They even cleaned around the area that didn’t required paving. After the job was complete they cleaned up the area and left everything nice and neat. Thanks Fanel American Pavers."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

Brick stain doesn’t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That’s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.

They provide excellent heat retention and durability and add a classic aesthetic to a home.

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.
