"I have a friend that is just now going through the process of finding out just what needs to be done and collecting bids. Since we had used Accurate I just thought I would check out to see if they were still in business since we had our work done in 2006 when we had 38 piers installed. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them. And I am going to tell her to check with them."
"Blake at NTX Concrete Works was very professional, knowledge, and communicated with me through the entire process. The new patio looks phenomenal and the attention to detail was spot on. Thank you NTX Concrete Works!!!"
"Tree Solutions did an outstanding job of thinning my trees and cleaning up. Professional service and a reasonable price. Will Definitely use again and refer to friends."
"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"
"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!"
"Lee gave great advise (that no other company had mentioned as this was my 5th foundation repair quote), explained the plan well, and made the process easy."
"Finding an honest, reliable contractor can be stressful, but Torres Construction completely exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, Torres and his crew were professional, respectful, and incredibly hardworking. You can tell they genuinely care about the quality of their work. Our new concrete patio turned out better than we ever imagined. The attention to detail is incredible, and the finished product is absolutely beautiful. Every time we step outside, we’re reminded that we chose the right company. What really stood out was how dedicated the entire crew was. They showed up on time, worked hard, treated our property with respect, and made sure everything was done the right way. It’s rare to find a company that takes so much pride in their work, and it definitely shows in the final result. If you’re thinking about having concrete work done, don’t waste your time looking anywhere else. Torres Construction earned our trust, and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again."

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.
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.
Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.
Most of the time, you don’t need to seal brickwork and can save that money for another area of home improvement. But if your brick is cracking or you live in an area with a lot of excess moisture (either in terms of rain or freezes), sealing can extend the lifetime of your home. But, make sure you use a breathable sealant, like siloxane, to allow the moisture to evaporate on its own.
Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.
