"Fermin Soto Masonry was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We described what we had in mind and he gave us three different firm quotes for different finishes. Fermin found exactly the brick we wanted and his team came on time, worked hard, and kept the site cleaned up as they went along. The communication was excellent, the price was fair, and the finished product exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Fermin Soto Masonry."

"Eduardo and his crew repaired a limestone planter box that was in dire need of fixing! They took it apart, cleaned all the old concrete off from between the lime stone blocks. They used cinderblocks and rebar to reinforce the area behind the planter box. They then replaced all the original lime stone from the 1950s, back on there, cementing them all back together, right up against the reinforced cinderblocks. Now this area will never crack and break down again!! They did a fabulous job, and I am happy to be a reference for him. I highly recommend using Eduardo for your brick and masonry needs!!! He is reliable, professional, and knowledgeable about his craft. Do not hesitate to use him for your job, whether it is simple, or complicated like ours was, you will be so glad you hired him. We sure are!!!"

"Workers showed up on time and when they were done you couldn't even tell that they were here. Very courteous and friendly employees, answered any and all questions I asked. Asked me if I would like for them to spread any of the remaining dirt in certain spots and hauled away what was left over after that. Cost of the entire job was middle of the road as far as quotes go but they did an excellent job. Entire job took just about 10 hours to complete (started at 930am and completed a little after 7pm). Ty, Eddie, Raul and the rest of the employees are all good people and I would definitely recommend anyone needing foundation work to give them a call.

"Crosstown came to inspect and validate the foundation work that we had done. They arrived on time and were very thorough in checking the levels on every part of our home. He answered questions that we had that were not even about the project he was checking. The guy was very personable and nice to our dog :) while he took measurements. We had a nice conversation at the end and I recommend highly choosing Crosstown for any needs you have!"

"Naji and his team were responsive and did a great job. Despite some rain delays, they poured the curb cut and a long sidewalk over a weekend, complete with excavation and cleanup. I would definitely use them again for any concrete work. As a small time real estate investor, I hire a lot of contractors. They are definitely top 10%!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

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.

You can use adhesive strips to hang lights on brick—just make sure you get outdoor mounting tape and not just any old double-sided tape for your project.
