"Eduardo and his crew repaired a limestone planter box that was in dire need of fixing! They took it apart, cleaned all the old concrete off from between the lime stone blocks. They used cinderblocks and rebar to reinforce the area behind the planter box. They then replaced all the original lime stone from the 1950s, back on there, cementing them all back together, right up against the reinforced cinderblocks. Now this area will never crack and break down again!! They did a fabulous job, and I am happy to be a reference for him. I highly recommend using Eduardo for your brick and masonry needs!!! He is reliable, professional, and knowledgeable about his craft. Do not hesitate to use him for your job, whether it is simple, or complicated like ours was, you will be so glad you hired him. We sure are!!!"

"Difficult job, messy if you have interior work.  Fix my Slab went out of their way to work with me.  They went as far as working 1/2 day Christmas Eve and New Years Day.  Outside cleanup excellent, inside lot's of dust, but they are foundation workers and not house cleaners."

"Crosstown inspected the foundation on a home we were considering buying. They were very thorough in their service and quite prompt. They even were able to get us a rushed report the same day. The team was very helpful and friendly and Josiah was incredibly thorough in his advice."

"Naji and his team were responsive and did a great job. Despite some rain delays, they poured the curb cut and a long sidewalk over a weekend, complete with excavation and cleanup. I would definitely use them again for any concrete work. As a small time real estate investor, I hire a lot of contractors. They are definitely top 10%!"

"The concrete supporting the deck around the pool was sinking, causing the flagstone to crack and split away from the pool coping. Southern Concrete Raising performed grout injection around the perimeter of the pool, raising and stabilizing the surface. The job took several hours. Everyone at the company was nice, punctual, excellent communicators, and easy to work with."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.

Choose from an abundance of natural and synthetic options when perfecting your hardscape design. Stone veneer costs a bit less, holds up against the tests of time and weather, and also works best in curves and complex walls.

Natural stone, however, provides an organic look to a lawn while providing just as much strength as veneer. Don't forget you can chat with your mason about other common wall materials like brick, cinderblock, and concrete.
