"Mr Rivas and his workers did a good job filling in the retaining wall gaps. They left everything clean and picked up trash. I feel it was A little pricey for the job but needed the repairs done"

"The work was high-quality, on time, at a fair price. Two weeks later, the new weatherstripping kept the dust out of our home during a storm. I’m grateful for the excellent work."

"I had my kitchen and small bathroom remodeled. In addition to removing all popcorn ceiling throughout the house, installing new floors and molding, extending bedroom closet, outdoor drain, and moving washer and dryer to garage and I couldn't be happier. From the initial consultation with Larry and Alex to the final clean up, they were professional and efficient. Alex, Raul and their crew completed all tasks within the discussed time line and stayed within my budget. All of their crew were courteous and respectful and answered all questions and concerns. I've had no problems with any of the work done. I'm very pleased with all of their work and have enjoyed my renovated kitchen. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hire them on any future home projects."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

No, you shouldn’t lay bricks directly on dirt. While it might seem like a shortcut, it leads to a patio that shifts, sinks, and becomes a maintenance headache. Dirt expands, contracts, and erodes—none of which mix well with long-term stability. To build something that lasts, excavate the topsoil, compact a layer of crushed gravel, and add a coarse sand-setting bed. This layered base gives your bricks proper support, allows drainage, and helps block weeds from creeping through. Cutting corners here just means you’ll spend more time—and money—repairing your brick patio later.

Initially, brick staining is not cheaper than painting. However, while it has a higher up-front cost, it may be more cost-effective in the long run. Brick stain can last for 20 years or longer, compared to paint, which usually starts to peel away in three to five years.

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.

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.

Fireclay is a type of clay but it is a type of clay that, because of its chemical composition, can be fired at a much higher temperature than other clays. This results in a denser and more heat-resistant final material. Because of the high percentage of a mineral called kaolin, fireclay sinks are smoother and more durable than other clay types.
