"Blaney Stonework and Landscape in Richardson, Texas is truly a top-notch company for all your stonework needs. We’ve hired them for three separate projects, and each time they delivered outstanding results. The craftsmanship was exceptional—thoughtfully designed and executed with great care. Communication throughout each project was excellent, and everything was completed on time. They also maintained a clean jobsite, which we really appreciated. The final outcomes were absolutely gorgeous and far exceeded our expectations. These projects have significantly enhanced our home’s value and serve as the proverbial "cherry on top" of our curb appeal. Highly recommended!"

"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."

"Our home's wing wall was destroyed by a storm, and we had no luck finding a brick mason until HomeAdvisor put us in touch with Mr Surdulli. He and his son are true craftsmen: not only is the new wall a stable structure that has been built to last, but the Surdullis made sure that the new wall matches our home's existing brick and mortar. Even better, Mr. Surdulli worked with our budget! We absolutely love our beautiful new wall and wholeheartedly recommend this brick mason."

"Everyone was Professional. Crew showed up the day promised, hit the job hard, finished quick and they left the yard better than they found it after work was done. Watched the process the whole way through and the lead Forman explained in detail what they were doing the whole time. Great company for your foundation needs. Highly recommend"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.

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.

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength.
