"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

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.

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.

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

A chimney cleaning brick or log can help loosen creosote between professional chimney cleaning appointments. Although they can help keep your chimney cleaner, they are not a substitute for chimney sweeping and are not meant to be used regularly.

Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.
