"This is an outstanding company. We remodeled a 1930 bungalow built using Elgin Butler brick. In order to expand, it was necessary to take down one whole wall and portions of two side walls. We wanted to repurpose the brick as sidewalks. We saw work done by Los Tres Gudinos at two neighbors and contact them. Eduardo Gudino was very prompt in quoting, the price was fair and the work was first class and done on the promised schedule. This is a link to their web site: https://lostresgudinosmasonry.com/"

"The work that BRI did on my home more than exceeded my expectations. They matched the brick and mortar so well that you could not see where the damage was. They arrived on time and finished the job in only a few hours. I am very pleased with the job that they did and I will refer them to my family and neighbors."

"Choosing Fix My Slab was the best decision I could have made for my foundation repair. Right from the very beginning with the evaluation and estimate, everyone was friendly and business oriented. I never felt rushed to make a decision and every question I had was answered calmly and without making me feel less than informed. The crew that did the repair was to say the least impressive. It has been a long time since I have witnessed a work crew that actually enjoyed what they were doing and their top concern was doing the job right. I could not be more pleased and have already recommended them to 2 of our neighbors. They made a stressful and worry-some situation very easy to deal with. This is a pure model for business. If you happen to get Cesear as the supervisor on the job, you have nothing to worry about! He was fantastic.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

If you’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.

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.

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.

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.
