"The brick layers were very knowledgeable and experienced. They corrected an alignment problem I wasn't even aware of. They finished the project in three hours and I was very pleased with the results. They suffered through the rain to keep working. I would highly recommend R&M Masonry for any stone or brick project."

"Daniel at Lone Star Foundations does incredible work, is honest, reliable, and is great at communicating. We used Daniel and his team to install a vapor barrier under our home, and to inspect our foundation. We could absolutely trust Daniel and his team to do great work; charge for what was needed but not upcharge; and be punctual with great communication throughout the process. We also know Daniel personally and he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. If you ever need foundation work or a foundation inspection, use Lone Star Foundations."

"We hired this company to correct foundation movement and elevation issues on our property. They performed a thorough inspection, took precise measurements, and clearly explained the cause of the settlement and the recommended repair plan. The scope of work included installing piers, lifting and stabilizing the foundation, and addressing interior/exterior cracks. The crew followed the plan exactly, kept us informed throughout the process, and documented the work. Elevations were checked before and after to confirm proper leveling. The job was completed on schedule, the site was left clean, and the foundation is now stable with noticeable improvements in door alignment and flooring. Quality workmanship and professional execution from start to finish. I would confidently recommend them for structural foundation repairs."

Masonry FAQs, answered by experts

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.

Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It’s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You’ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.

Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.
