"Uploaded needed work through Angi and Cornerstone Masonry responded the same day. Eddie came out and viewed the work that was requested and offered a price. This was on a Saturday, by Monday afternoon all work was completed. An outside wall of the garage had damage, brick was completely removed and new was replaced. Would recommend Cornerstone Masonry for anyone looking for brick work"

"Ben and his son Gavin showed up on time and finished the job in one day. Left me with clear instructions as to how to “water in” the decomposed granite between the flagstones. I did what he told me and the granite set up firm just like he said it would. I’m very satisfied with his work and plan to have him replace my circular drive in front of my house soon."

"The concrete block fence looks good except for mortar breaking out of the tee joint. He stopped answering calls and texts to fix it. Said he would be here the next day after he got a color match, then never showed up. He will not respond to texts or calls. Think he has blown me off."

"They were really good. I got a couple of repairs and the first man who look at it he said ?Well all of this wood are damage we will replace the whole thing for $13000?. My husband who is a retired engineer said you know that?s a little bit too high why don?t you get another estimate and so I called E-Tex Foundation Repair and they came over. He and another guy ? two guys, they went all underneath the house (it?s an older house that I'm selling) and I was with them and then my husband went down to verify the only thing that really is damage are some of the boards in front of the house and we suggest you don?t replacing those boards and then doing something about the water dribbling underneath the house but he said actually you don?t need to replace all of these boards just the once in the front that are rotten and so we had them to do it and they did it for $3250 and I am really pleased. They work really well. They work really hard and I think they can do it for two or a day to do it. I thought it will take a lot longer time but they really do a good work and that other man wanted $13000 to replace boards that didn?t need to be replaced and he even didn?t get down underneath to look in there. I do recommend them. They were good and they tell me exactly what had happened and they help me did an investigation of why is just the front of the house that has a rotten boards and water had been pulling from the front yard when it rain underneath the house and so what we did because the front yard was higher underneath the house is that we put in a French drain system ? we did that ourselves, my husband did it with my brother and they dug a ditch and put a pipe down to catch the water and they just rerouted it down the hill and we carefully we gotten that problem solved. They are really good and they know what they are doing with foundations.

Bottom line, They really were good and they know what they are doing. They will not give you false information. You can trust these guys to know what they are doing and I just really appreciated that. I thought their price were reasonable for all that they did because $3000 to replace all of those boards and beams and post and all of that in front of the house ? I thought was reasonable. For quality of work ? my husband help with this. He understands that. He is an engineer and got down underneath the house to look at the work and all of that and so I am really thankful for him because he knows better than I do what constitute quality work and so he thought they did a good job to. They are based in Gladewater and when I called them I thought and wonder if you guys can come to Tyler and they said no problem we go all over and the next day they came and look at the house. They got with it, got through with it and got out of there. They don?t waste time. They were very professional. They were friendly. They were nice. They just tell us what the problem was and fix it. I think they?re great. I can see why they?re on Angie?s List and people use them because they?re good workers."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.

Brick is the closest choice when seeking to capture the timeless look of stone with a more practical and budget-friendly option. When comparing stone versus brick siding, the price range of $200,000 to $400,000 for average brick home construction is dramatically lower compared to the cost of building a stone home. If you'd like to keep the stone aesthetic without the cost, stone veneer and manufactured stone are both less expensive than real stone.

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.

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.
