"Chris from Davalos Masonry came to our home and reviewed the repairs needed to an brick and stone arch and pilar in my driveway. The price for the tear down and rebuild was fair and the work was done as I requested. This a family owned business and they treat you like family while performing the work. I'm so happy I choose Davalos to repair my home. If you need any type of brick, stone or concrete work done at your home or business. This is the company you should do business with."

"I would definitely recommend Pinnacle Foundation repair. The senior geologist came to measure my garage area where the brick had cracked on the outside. He was very professional and kept me informed each step of the work. The men showed up to do the work on the only 95 degree day in February. I've never seen guys work harder digging the holes for the piers. They worked all day in the heat digging, putting in the piers, and raising the house. Then they poured the concrete and filled in the holes. They smoothed the concrete on the driveway holes, and carried away the extra dirt. They had put down tarps on the grass, so that when they finished, you couldn't see where the piles of dirt had been placed. The supervisor explained everything to me. Then about a week later another engineering company came to check to make sure the garage was level. Also, a plumbing company came to check the underground plumbing to make sure there were no leaks in the drain. Everything went just as they had explained, and I am glad I chose Pinnacle Foundation."

"I have a friend that is just now going through the process of finding out just what needs to be done and collecting bids. Since we had used Accurate I just thought I would check out to see if they were still in business since we had our work done in 2006 when we had 38 piers installed. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them. And I am going to tell her to check with them."

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.

You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.

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.

No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.

It’s called cobblestone because it’s made of stones that are “cobbed” together. A cob is a term that refers to rounded lumps. Originally, cobblestone streets were made from pebbles and stones gathered from riverbeds that had been rounded over time by the passage of water. The term has nothing to do with a cobbler, which is the term for someone who makes and fixes shoes.
