"My foundation work involved both outside and inside piers. Inside there were jackhammers, lifting with bottle jacks, welding, and concrete work. The mess was kept to a minimum. Accurate used steel piers to reach bedrock. Concrete piers would not, a real selling feature. Just finished a few days ago, but overall the house is much better."

"Genaro and his crew were quick, honest, and very professional. I told him what kind of slab I needed and he gave me a few good ideas that I ended up going with. I shopped around and he was willing to work with me and gave me a very competitive price! I will definitely be using this company for future cement work!!"

"I had an excellent experience with Concrete Slab Foundation Repair! Dawn Castillo, the owner, was incredibly professional and personable. She took the time to assess the issue thoroughly and explained everything clearly, so I knew exactly what to expect. The repair was done quickly and efficiently, and for just $140, it was a great value! My foundation issues were resolved with no hassle, and Dawn's attention to detail and customer service truly stood out. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of foundation repair—reliable, affordable, and top-quality work! Thank you, Dawn!"

"Mike L, David L, and Elias V from the San Antonio area came down and did my foundation repair. They were very good at what they do and very professional. I would highly recommend them! Thanks again guys for all your hard work! They had to install 17 piers and made it look easy. Cleaned up and can barely tell they were here. Thanks, Steve"

"It was great from start to finish. Chad came to our house to evaluate the problem and give us an estimate. He was very nice, courteous professional and knowledgeable. He gave us an estimate to repair our foundation. Surprisingly, it was not as much money as we had thought. He did a very thorough evaluation explained everything in detail. Great job, Chad!
After a couple of weeks Juan and the crew came out to our home to do the work. Again, the work was excellent. They did exactly what we wanted done and we're very happy with the work that was performed. Juan was also very nice and knowledgable and professional. You could tell he has done this many times. He was there to let us know how the job was going and also to answer all of our many questions. After the work was completed and they cleaned up our yard and it looked great! Great job Juan and the crew.
We are very happy! We found a company that is honest, affordable and does great work!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.

Not all cracks in brick indicate foundation problems. For instance, small hairline cracks can occur as a new construction settles. However, larger cracks are often a sign of a more severe issue. Indicators of a potential foundation problem include long horizontal cracks, "stair-step" cracks, vertical cracks that appear indoors, or any crack that widens at the top. Other signs of structural damage to look for are uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. These issues could be caused by problems with the soil beneath the home or an overgrown tree.

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

They provide excellent heat retention and durability and add a classic aesthetic to a home.

Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:

  • Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles

  • Use of non-breathable sealants

  • High-pressure water cleaning

  • Improper installation

While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.
