"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!"
"This is one of those companies that reminds you of the way business used to operate. Their word is gold and they deliver more than what is expected. I cannot speak highly enough of this company. All facets of work was done to perfection, from irrigation to digging beds and planting. The work was done right, quickly, and professionally and everything was clean when the job was done. Everyone from the owner all the way down the line takes pride in what they are doing. I was so impressed by Pinckard that I have since decided to have them build masonry borders around my front bed, and I have employed them to take care of all of the yard work and maintenance every week.

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.
Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.
The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between $15 and $30 per linear foot. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing $25 to $50 per linear foot. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.
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.
Yes, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.
