"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."

Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won’t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace.
Removing paint from brick can have both aesthetic and practical value. Some people prefer the timeless look of bare brick, making it worthwhile to remove old paint layers. Brick also lasts longer when unpainted, as paint traps moisture, causing the brick to deteriorate more quickly. If your brick walls are already in bad shape, stripping the paint off might do more harm than good.
In most cases, painting your brick house is a fine idea that can open up new aesthetic possibilities. However, the paint can slightly shorten the life span of brick, especially if moisture gets trapped underneath the paint layer. Once you paint, you’ll have to keep up with maintenance to avoid flaking and blisters.
Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the questions to ask a masonry contractor is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material.
Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.
