"Aaron exceeded all expectations. This is the 3rd job we have hired him for, and he continues to impress with his creativity, skill, and artistry. So fortunate to have found him and will always use him for any masonry and stonework."
"Maltos Masonry was outstanding. Frank and his crew did a fantastic job on my brick work. They showed careful attention to detail and took the time to do a quality job."
"The stonemason was amazing and transformed an unusable area into a user-friendly access to upper and lower outdoor space. It truly transformed an eye-sore and unstable stone staircase. Forrest was easy to work with, following through with everything we discussed and on the job site daily. Project took a few days longer than expected, but was definitely worth it to get it done properly. Also, start date was extended out considerably, but now that the project is done, we are so happy I can't think anything but positive thoughts about Blaney Stonework! Would definitely use them again and highly recommend."
"Brad was obviously an expert in masonry. He did the job of repairing and painting our chimney exterior as well as helped troubleshoot our draft issue. Brad also gave us pointers on general upkeep and repair for our property overall. We enjoyed meeting him, too. He was personable, courteous, and thoughtful. We would definitely hire him again."
"Hi Guys: You did a great job. I've been working at getting the plants and yard back in shape. Thanks for the good job at cleaning up. I appreciate that you tried to save some of the plants that were in the way around the edging in the gardens. I've replanted what I could and I think all well be well. The grass is still looking poor, but I think it will come back eventually. Thanks for working to get the rain barrels elevated. They look great and work so much better. I'm so glad you could use all the stone and leftovers, too. I like to recycle and reuse when possible. Don't forget to stop by some day soon to see the finished (well, never quite finished!) product. Bill enjoyed talking to Joe, too. He has good ideas for landscaping and making things work. They are both problems solvers...a good thing to be in life. Thanks so much again. I'm so glad I went with E. Smith Masonry. Joanne J. Durbin 5120 Quail Lake Drive Dallas, TX 75287"

"Luis's team at Arbors and Patios were fantastic. Luis, the owner was incredibly professional, communicated with us regularly and also provided a lot of details to help us make design decisions etc. He has separate teams specializing in carpentry, concrete and masonry respectively. Each team had a team lead who was great to communicate with. They always arrived promptly, completely their work promptly and tidied up after they finished. We are beyond happy with the backyard transformation they did. Our stamped concrete patio and arbor are beautiful. You can tell that Luis and his team take great pride in their work and have great attention to detail. I highly recommend them!"

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.
When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.
Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.
The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To remove efflorescence stains, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.
While painting can certainly change the look of a chimney, you should think twice about giving your brick chimney the old landlord special.
Painting brick is porous, meaning it’s full of tiny holes that can soak up moisture. Those holes also allow it to dry, though. So, when you paint it, you trap any moisture inside, providing an opportunity for mold, mildew, and water damage.
Paint also shows wear faster than naked brick. This means that once you paint a brick surface, you’ll have to keep painting it to maintain a clean look. A paint job is also harder to undo on brick because of its porous nature. Once you paint it, it’s hard to go back without some serious power washing—another added cost.
