"Hernandez Masonry not only quoted a very reasonable price but they were able to get to the job quickly. I needed a large stretch of rock repaired on one side of my house and they had it finished the same day! Fantastic quality work and excellent customer service, I will absolutely use them again in future projects and would recommend them to friends and family."
"Caleb always does a great job helping us take care of our large yard. He shows up on time, works quickly, is super strong so he has no issues helping rid us of even our most difficult landscaping issues! Professional, friendly, and fair. I’d hire Kamps Complete for any job around our house."
"I talked to them about what I wanted done. The day I could get it done, they were there did what I asked at the price quoted and cleaned up afterwards. They also suggested a project on another tree, but no pressure to get it done right now. As soon as I can I will work with BRW Landscaping again."

In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.
For most brick cleaning jobs, including fireplace bricks, use a masonry sponge and a gentle cleaner. A simple solution of equal parts water and vinegar, or a few drops of dish soap in a bowl of water, can effectively remove grime. For tougher stains, you can use a dedicated masonry or fireplace cleaner. It is crucial to wet the bricks thoroughly with water before applying any cleaning solution to prevent the brick from absorbing it, and to rinse the surface completely afterward. Harsher cleaners containing bleach or ammonia should only be used as a last resort, and they should never be mixed together.
The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings.
Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.
You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.
