"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%!"

"SCR was very professional, prompt, and courteous. Their work was beautiful. We are convering the new walkway with a poly urea coating from their sister company amazing Floors. We are almost sad to cover it because they did such a nice job with the finish."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can cut patio stones with a circular saw. Similar to using an electric grinder, you will need to use a diamond blade as this is the most effective blade for cutting a material like stone. The stone must be wet when using a circular saw to ensure the cut is smooth.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

Cutting stone comes with a number of safety hazards. First and foremost, if you’re not comfortable with the equipment required to cut stone, including blades and grinders, you could easily injure yourself. The heavy machinery also poses a risk to your ears if you don’t wear proper ear protection; similarly, you need to wear eye protection to keep debris from irritating your eyes.

However, the biggest risk from cutting stone comes from the stone dust. When breathed in, stone dust can be a huge hazard to your lungs. Always wear a face mask when cutting stone to prevent inhaling stone dust, and thoroughly clean the work area when you are finished.

To avoid injury, we recommend hiring a stone-cutting professional, rather than attempting this job yourself.

The best tool for drilling into brick or mortar is a rotary hammer drill which is a large hammer drill with low rotation speed and high torque. Regular drills with a hammer function are also excellent tools for drilling into brick when the diameter of the hole is 1/2 inch or less. It might be possible to drill into brick with a standard drill if you’re only drilling a very small hole, but note that masonry work will put a lot of wear on a standard drill, and the tool may not be strong enough to get through brick.

Brick stain doesn’t peel or chip and is much more durable than painting. That’s because the staining is absorbed into the brick instead of lingering on the surface as paint does. The color retains even under extreme weather conditions. Therefore, brick stain will save you a lot of time and cost on maintenance in the long run.
