"We hired Brick Experts to do several projects at our house in Grapevine: - Stabilize a wing wall that had sunk by a couple of inches - Repair/complete some brick work that was incomplete when we bought the house - Repair several cracks in the mortar joints on our house and on our mailbox - Stabilized the brick work over our garage door (it was sagging and causing cracks in the mortar) David's crew did excellent work across the board. Their attention to detail was excellent, even despite the extremely hot weather (it was 104 degrees one of the days the crew was working!). I also appreciated that David checked in at the job site regularly to make sure the crew was on track, and performing the work properly. Ultimately, the crew did a great job, and for a very reasonable price. Regards, Scott"

"I would definitely recommend Pinnacle Foundation repair. The senior geologist came to measure my garage area where the brick had cracked on the outside. He was very professional and kept me informed each step of the work. The men showed up to do the work on the only 95 degree day in February. I've never seen guys work harder digging the holes for the piers. They worked all day in the heat digging, putting in the piers, and raising the house. Then they poured the concrete and filled in the holes. They smoothed the concrete on the driveway holes, and carried away the extra dirt. They had put down tarps on the grass, so that when they finished, you couldn't see where the piles of dirt had been placed. The supervisor explained everything to me. Then about a week later another engineering company came to check to make sure the garage was level. Also, a plumbing company came to check the underground plumbing to make sure there were no leaks in the drain. Everything went just as they had explained, and I am glad I chose Pinnacle Foundation."

"Blaney Stonework and Landscape in Richardson, Texas is truly a top-notch company for all your stonework needs. We’ve hired them for three separate projects, and each time they delivered outstanding results. The craftsmanship was exceptional—thoughtfully designed and executed with great care. Communication throughout each project was excellent, and everything was completed on time. They also maintained a clean jobsite, which we really appreciated. The final outcomes were absolutely gorgeous and far exceeded our expectations. These projects have significantly enhanced our home’s value and serve as the proverbial "cherry on top" of our curb appeal. Highly recommended!"

"Heath and his crew did a fantastic job! We had a couple of half inch cracks over our garage that were only getting bigger. Heath came out when he said he would and gave us a couple of options. We elected to go with concrete piers. Heath and Katie were excellent at communicating the process and performing the work when they said they would. They were even able to save some of our plants. I honestly didn’t expect for any of them to survive. The results were amazing! I highly recommend them for any foundation repair needs that you may have."

Customers say: True professional

"Great work! We had a loose capstone and an archway where the mortar was falling out. Not only did Alberto and his team fix the capstone and the masonry, they also repaired a previous fix that had been sloppily done. I am very pleased with the final outcome. It matches well with our other brickwork and you would almost not be able to tell anything was done."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

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.

Choosing the right paint color for your brick house can be a daunting task. A great strategy is to find painted brick houses that you like and try to replicate the look by researching their colors or asking the homeowners for the specific paint color code.

If you're looking for specific ideas, several colors work well on brick. Different shades of white, such as off-white or cream-white, can create a modern, timeless, and classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. For a more contemporary aesthetic, you might consider a matte black tone. Other popular choices include gray, blue, and sage green.

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.

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.
