"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 came to inspect and validate the foundation work that we had done. They arrived on time and were very thorough in checking the levels on every part of our home. He answered questions that we had that were not even about the project he was checking. The guy was very personable and nice to our dog :) while he took measurements. We had a nice conversation at the end and I recommend highly choosing Crosstown for any needs you have!"

"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, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. 

This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.

Solid brick structures can last a century or more, potentially 100 to 150 years with proper maintenance like tuckpointing. Without major repairs, classic red bricks may last 20 to 40 years. Brick veneer siding is also a long-lasting material, with a lifespan ranging from 50 to 100 years, provided it is properly installed and maintained. To maintain brick veneer, you should scrub it annually with a special detergent and a soft-bristled broom. It's also important to inspect the bricks and mortar regularly and hire a masonry contractor for any necessary repairs, such as fixing worn mortar or bowing bricks.

The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot
