"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."

"Great job its many weeks later and The work is excellent. They designed the area around my fire pit and built a walkway as well. The quote remained consistent, and they completed the project in a timely manner. It was great work, and I would certainly consider hiring them again if the need arises."

"I couldn’t be happier with the job John did hydroseeding my yard. From the beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the process and answer all of my questions.What really stood out was his customer service after the job was done. He came back numerous times to spot spray any areas that needed attention and made sure everything was coming in the way it should. It’s hard to find someone who stands behind their work like that.If you’re looking for someone who does quality work, is reliable, and genuinely cares about the finished result, I highly recommend John for any hydroseeding needs. I would absolutely use him again!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.

Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.

Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.

Not all cracks in brick indicate foundation problems. For instance, small hairline cracks can occur as a new construction settles. However, larger cracks are often a sign of a more severe issue. Indicators of a potential foundation problem include long horizontal cracks, "stair-step" cracks, vertical cracks that appear indoors, or any crack that widens at the top. Other signs of structural damage to look for are uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. These issues could be caused by problems with the soil beneath the home or an overgrown tree.

A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.

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.

Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.
