Customers say: True professional

"Very pleased with Los Twins Concrete. Abraham and his wife were extremely dependable, stayed in touch throughout the project, completed it on time and on budget. The crew does excellent work, worked long days when they did not have to and performed as I would expect a professional crew to perform. Post job cleanup was complete and done well. Will use them for any future concrete work."

"I needed the chimney cap replaced as it had blown off. He was very responsive and a great communicator. He was prompt and fast, showed up when planned and finished quickly. Very reasonable price. I will be calling him again when i need work done, no reason to shop around."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.

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.

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.

Mortar is a mixture of sand and cement that binds materials, such as bricks, stones, and concrete blocks, together. Think of it as the glue that fills in the gaps between bricks and stones, then seals them in place to prevent damage or deterioration. Mortar also helps spread the load across a wall or structure, keeping cracks and shifting at bay.
