"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."

"We discovered that the hot dry summer of 2011 had done it's damage on our house and one corner of the house was definitely lower than the rest of the house. This led to doors not shutting and windows leaking. When we did get a small rain in October we had a flood come under the seal plate at the front of our house and through the house toward the low corner. After Brown Foundation investigated the extent of the foundation slope we understood the importance of getting the house leveled. Brown recommended several outside piers and two inside piers under our masonry fireplace and also mud jacking the sunken living room in order to stabilize the slab after the foundation was leveled. The only negative was one that Brown had no control over and that was there were more people like me in 2011 than in most years and we had to wait for more than a month to fit into their schedule. We were able to get in on a first available list sooner than they quoted, which helped us finish before Christmas. Brown did what they quoted and the crews were very knowledgeable and courteous. I would use Brown again."

Yes, limewash on brick can accumulate dust over time. Its porous nature can attract dust particles, especially in environments with high levels of dust or dirt. Additionally, if the limewash surface is left unsealed, it may be more prone to collecting dust. Additionally, incorrectly applied limewash will generate dust. Causes include applying it too thickly instead of thin layers and not allowing enough drying time between layers. Regular maintenance, such as gentle cleaning or dusting, can help mitigate dusty issues.
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.
Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.
Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.
Cobblestone is not a type of rock but a term for a mosaic or rock laid down as a surface. It used to be made from the closest available stone but now can be made from nearly any hard rock, as machining has made shaping the stone much easier and cheaper.
