"Dennis Smelly of LTC Brick and Stone did an outstanding job on our stone repair job and we highly recommend him. Dennis has been in the business a long time and has built the reputation that consistently earns him a 5 star rating. He is punctual and will let you know if he is running late for the appointment. Dennis was immediately able to determine that the workmanship on the stone installation was poor; the previous contractor used too much sand in the mortar so that it was not going to last. Before he started, Dennis dropped by to pick up a sample of the stone so that he could match it with the stone he needed to purchase. He was more concerned than we were about matching the exact color of the mortar! Looking at all the repairs now, you would never know that it ever needed repair. Itâ s beautiful and now, will last for years to come."

"The brick layers were very knowledgeable and experienced. They corrected an alignment problem I wasn't even aware of. They finished the project in three hours and I was very pleased with the results. They suffered through the rain to keep working. I would highly recommend R&M Masonry for any stone or brick project."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

Use fire bricks for a brick pizza oven. These bricks are typically used for fireplaces and chimneys as they can withstand high temperatures from heat sources. If you attempt to use any other kind of bricks, it’s likely that this material will crack from such high heat exposure in the best case—and potentially explode and cause serious harm in the worst case.

Yes, it is usually possible to repair a damaged brick mailbox. A professional brick mason or masonry contractor can perform the repairs. They can assess the damage, provide an estimate, and help you determine if the repair is worthwhile based on the mailbox's value and the extent of the damage. The repair process may involve sourcing replacement bricks and mortar. Damaged bricks can be cut out and replaced, or the mortar joints can be cut out and retucked. It's important to note that the new mortar may differ in color from the original. If the mailbox insert itself is damaged, it can typically be cut out and replaced as well. If your brick mailbox has been completely destroyed, you should check with your local building code enforcement office before rebuilding, as some areas do not allow brick mailboxes due to the potential hazard they pose to drivers.

Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.
