"Mike Blalock did an absolutely amazing job building my stone patio! From start to finish, he was professional, detail-oriented, and incredibly reliable. He showed up when he said he would, worked hard every day, and made sure everything was done exactly how I envisioned it. The craftsmanship is outstanding, and the finished patio is not only beautiful but also built to last. I couldn?t be happier with the results and highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for quality work done right the first time."
"Better than we could have hoped for! We love the work did and they were great to work with. Very creative and beautiful finished product. We know that we can call at any time with questions (even 3 years later) and they are very quick to respond. We will work with them again as soon as we are ready to tackle the back yard. Highly recommended!"
"Alex did a wondeful job. Met with us at correct time and gave us a very very fair quote and started the next day. The completed job is pictured below. I know not all projects can begin the next day but we were fortunate that his schedule was open. Thank You Thank You"

Brick houses can last at least 100 years with minimal maintenance. With regular care and attention, including mortar repointing, brick houses can last 500 years or more.
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.
The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3each.
Yes, it is usually possible to repair a damaged brick mailbox. A professional brick mason or masonry contractor can perform the repairs. They can assess the damage, provide an estimate, and help you determine if the repair is worthwhile based on the mailbox's value and the extent of the damage. The repair process may involve sourcing replacement bricks and mortar. Damaged bricks can be cut out and replaced, or the mortar joints can be cut out and retucked. It's important to note that the new mortar may differ in color from the original. If the mailbox insert itself is damaged, it can typically be cut out and replaced as well. If your brick mailbox has been completely destroyed, you should check with your local building code enforcement office before rebuilding, as some areas do not allow brick mailboxes due to the potential hazard they pose to drivers.
Whether you’re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you’re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you’ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means your home build will take longer, as it’s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.
