"If you are in need of quality masonry work I highly recommend Felix and Oscar of Cochos Masonry. Recently had foundation repair on our home. We needed to have some bricks replaced and some tuck pointing done to repair cracks in the mortar. I put out a request on all the usual social media sources for an estimate for the project. I received three responses and estimate from each. We wound up working with Cochos Masonry and am glad that we did. Oscar was professional and did a great job explaining the work that needed to be done. Pricing was very competitive and the project was completed within two days of of initial contact with Oscar. I will definitely will be using them again for any future masonry projects."

"They were the only contractor of three I requested estimates from to actually show up and provide one. Iâ m glad for that now because they also showed up the day they said they would, but more importantly, they did a great job repairing my brick wall damage. I would highly recommend this contractor for your masonry work, and I would definitely use them in the future if needed."

"Caleb did a great job repairing our paver bricks. The address looks like new. He had trouble finding some supplies but kept us informed until he found what was needed and was able to come to do the work. He was courteous and professional throughout the job. I highly recommend him ."

"5 stars is too meagre a rating for Justin Eoff's craftsmanship! We had an architectural brick wall in the front yard by the drive extending 60 or so feet from the dive. Overtime grout on the top course of brick had shrink and a crack developed from pressure on a curve in the wall. Justin knew exactly what to do and used construction grade caulk to redo the grout on the wall (ground the ~75' grout line and caulked so that it exactly matches the original grout appearance. It's always nice to get some thing repaired to be better than new! Justin Roof knows how to do this without question."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.

A fireplace is, by definition, an enclosed space where you burn wood or other fuel for the purpose of generating light and heat. A firepit burns wood and is much less expensive to build, but they aren’t technically a fireplace as it isn’t enclosed. An outdoor oven—commonly outdoor brick pizza ovens—often uses wood as fuel, but its primary purpose is to cook food, and you’d rarely just burn wood inside them for warmth or aesthetic reasons.

Solid brick structures can last a century or more, potentially 100 to 150 years with proper maintenance like tuckpointing. Without major repairs, classic red bricks may last 20 to 40 years. Brick veneer siding is also a long-lasting material, with a lifespan ranging from 50 to 100 years, provided it is properly installed and maintained. To maintain brick veneer, you should scrub it annually with a special detergent and a soft-bristled broom. It's also important to inspect the bricks and mortar regularly and hire a masonry contractor for any necessary repairs, such as fixing worn mortar or bowing bricks.

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.

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.
