"Nice to finally have a contractor who responds timely, shows up on time (if not a bit early), does great work, all for the price he quoted. Any masonry work you need, you should give Elevation Masonry a call. Believe me you will be glad you did."

"The work product make all the cast cement sections look like brand new. They took care to match the new mortar to the old, so everything blended right it. The two-man crew was extremely polite and courteous. I would hire them again should I need them. A neighbor has the same issue with their decorative cast stone and plans to hire them after seeing their work product. I did shave one of their ratings to 4.5 instead of a straight 5 because they did not clean up their work area when finished. A drop cloth in the work area would have taken care if this issue straight away."

"I am very impressed with not only the professionalism of this company, but with the workmanship as well. I had my foundation fixed many years ago by a company that has since gone bankrupt. I called Fix My Slab because of the ratings this company has with the BBB, Angie's List, and several other social media sites. The Strickland came to my house as scheduled and provided a quote that was very competitive to several other foundation companies. Mr. Strickland offered several different options allowing me to tailor fit a plan that met my budget and needs. The crew showed up on time and began to work immediately. Raul, the foreman, was very knowledgable and was willing to answer any questions we had and address any concerns. The crew took every precaution to protect vegetation, and property during the job. After the job was completed the crew left my property in immaculate shape considering the project at hand. Rarely do I get the chance to rave about a company, this one is bar none the best I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with."

"Overall, we are very pleased with our new deck from The Deck and Patio Company. The crew was very professional, polite, and friendly. Each day they spent the time to clean up the project site and were always willing to answer any questions we may have had. The quality of the wood, carpentry, and staining was excellent. The only drawback was the length of time (13 weeks) between contract execution and start of the work"

"I was very anxious about potential foundation issues. Once I engaged Crosstown, they took their time to explain what the services entail, the process and costs. Everything was exactly as it was explained before, during and after my appointment. They gave me an unbiased assessment and the information I needed to understand what was happening to my house and what would need to be repaired. Very easy to work with. And gave me peace of mind! Highly recommend!"

"My experience with Custom Concrete Creations was very pleasant. They were very professional. They came in and did the appraisal and gave their quote. Once I accepted Brian and his crew showed up on time and they were done in three days. They did exactly what I had envisioned and it was done in a timely manner. They answered all of my questions and had very good communication with me. The price was excellent for the work that was done and the time in which it was finished. I would recommend them to anyone."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

You may not need a hammer drill if you’re planning on drilling one or two very small diameter holes in brick. For holes with a diameter of 3/16-inch or less, a regular drill with a masonry bit can do the job. However, the bit will heat up quickly, and the process will take significantly longer than with a hammer drill. Prepare to cool your drill bit down in a bucket of water more often.

You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.

The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.
