"Excellent experience. Bob (owner) came out and gave a very fair estimate. Bob also came out when the work was performed. Javier did the repairs. Performed the repairs for the estimate given. Looks great. They coordinated both visits. Showed up on time. Cleaned everything up. Will definitely use in the future if I need any masonry work done."

"I chose Risen Foundation Solutions because their in-house fabrication team customizes foundation repair and stabilization. I met with Sammy Ayyad, the project manager, and was impressed with his professionalism and broad knowledge of foundation repairs. He was polite, attentive to detail, and efficient in taking the measurements and preparing the proposal. He cut through the sales pitch and guided us in the right direction in making a logical decision. A wonderful gentleman who represents a professional company. I recommend this company to anyone."

"Extremely happy with the work preformed by Cornerstone Masonry. We had 2 projects preformed over the course of about 1 month and Phil and Tim were extremely easy to work with. The quality of the work is A++, these jobs would have been considerably more expensive but they priced very well."

"Great work on our cracked and Babco Foundation Repair, saved us thousands of dollars by not having to replace it around our pool. The team, Chuck and Dillon called and gave us a heads up early in the morning, arrived on time and did a fantastic job. They were very professional, lots of measuring, discussion on how to best approach the project, attention to detail and great clean up. Thank you Babco Foundation Repair for your outstanding service."

"I couldn’t be happier with the concrete work completed by Ibarreal Construction. From the initial estimate to the finished project, the entire experience was professional and hassle free. The crew arrived on time, communicated well throughout the job, and paid close attention to every detail. The finished concrete pad looks outstanding. It is level, well-finished, and built exactly as promised. Even with the limited access to my backyard, they handled everything efficiently and did not cut corners. Their workmanship and pride in their work really show. I highly recommend Ibarreal Construction to anyone looking for quality concrete work, fair pricing, and excellent customer service. I would definitely use them again for future projects."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The exact cost of bricks depends on the type and size of the bricks you use for your project. Generally, standard clay bricks cost between $350 and $850 for a thousand bricks, or an average of $550. Brick veneer costs around the same for materials but is easier to install than solid bricks, so you’ll save on labor by choosing this option.

Brick can increase the value of your home depending on the type of masonry materials used. Homes generally have a higher resale value when they have brick siding, and brick is also easier to maintain (and lasts longer) than other types of siding, which can motivate buyers to make an offer.

Just keep in mind, however, that although brick can up the asking price when you sell your house, the cost to brick a house is also more expensive than other typical siding costs—so you’ll invest more in the project.

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.

There are many things to look for when buying a brick house. Here are some of the key things you should pay close attention to.

  • Lintels: Look for cracks, holes, displacement, or corrosion

  • Mortar: Check to see if the mortar is old and crumbling, in need of repointing, or new. Also check to see if the mortar has a professional finish.

  • Walls: Check along each side of the house. If a wall is bowing outward, this indicates a severe issue such as foundation damage or that the walls are ready to fall.

  • Cracks: If there are stair step cracks in the brickwork, this indicates an unstable foundation.

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.
