"Eddie Silva and his team at Cornerstone Masonry were exceptional! They removed brick and installed new brick on my home and it looks amazing! They cleaned up each day and were super respectful of my home. They also built a fireplace on my patio that far exceeded my expectations. Eddie kept in constant communication so I would know what to expect at each stage of the project. I am very happy with Cornerstone Masonry and wouldn’t hesitate to hire them for masonry jobs large or small."
"We had some stone work done in our backyard we wanted a nice pathway to where we could get from the backyard to the front yard easily and honestly it looks perfect."
"From the initial estimates to the final touches at the conclusion of a day's work, KK and Mr. Garcia performed with efficiency, proficiency and professionalism in this project. I was impressed with his attention to detail in the preparation phase, selection of materials and considerable prep to avert damages to grass, sprinkler system, in place masonry, fencing, wood gate and brick work of house, using fabric and stone, and in the workmanship exhibited by his work crew, with meticulous attention to a professionally finished product, using the latest materials and technology and a crew that understands the difference between doing a job and a job well done. I have no hesitation or reservation in recommending Mr. Garcia's firm for any homeowner needing his services. Both of the photos I planned to upload are "too large and can't be uploaded." Too bad. They are outstanding examples of how a 5' by 60' concrete walkway should look."
"The service went well. They did a pretty good job. They were reliable, and they make sure everything was good after the plan. The price was fair. I was very satisfied and happy with the service."

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.
Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.
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.
Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.
Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.
