"Eddie Silva and his team at Cornerstone Masonry were exceptional! They removed brick and installed new brick on my home and it looks amazing! They cleaned up each day and were super respectful of my home. They also built a fireplace on my patio that far exceeded my expectations. Eddie kept in constant communication so I would know what to expect at each stage of the project. I am very happy with Cornerstone Masonry and wouldn’t hesitate to hire them for masonry jobs large or small."

"Hernandez Masonry not only quoted a very reasonable price but they were able to get to the job quickly. I needed a large stretch of rock repaired on one side of my house and they had it finished the same day! Fantastic quality work and excellent customer service, I will absolutely use them again in future projects and would recommend them to friends and family."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

You can use normal bricks as cladding for a concrete or clay pizza oven or as a base underneath one. Fire bricks or solid clay bricks are necessary for an outdoor pizza oven’s floor, and you can use clay bricks for the rest of the oven.

Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.
