"David and his team were excellent. He is extremely professional and was patient as we delayed the project to work through obtaining condo board approval to do the work. I was impressed with their attention to detail and craftsmanship, but also to David's ability to make suggestions to keep costs of the project reasonable. The end product is beautiful and I will definitely work with David for future masonry projects."

"Goldy's work was great. His price was quite competitive and we were able to schedule his work within three days of his visit to provide an estimate. I had a dozen cracked bricks and missing mortar on my front porch. The work was done in a morning and the porch looks like new. I would highly recommend Goldy for anyone needing brick masonry work done."

"The masonry on our front porch was crumbling, and the stones in our back-yard patio were becoming uneven. Horizon Landscaping Designs made both look brand new again! They were prompt, professional, and stuck with the original estimate. I'd definitely hire them again!"

"First the good stuff.  They did an excellent job on the craftsmanship.  The wall and walkway look amazing.  The wall is a short sitting wall curved to follow a broken paver pathway.  The wall has 8 lights and covers about 40 linear feet enclosing a garden. 
The walkway is especially well done with nice thin mortar joints between the stones.  Arranging the irregular stones is like assembling a puzzle and they did a great job.
The price was reasonable, neither low or high. 
One thing to note in dealing with them.  Make sure you write down exactly what you expect.  The contract contained minimal description and I added a couple written paragraphs and a drawing.  This became an issue when they originally built the wall incorrectly.  To their credit the didn't argue much and fixed it up.  Would also suggest that telling the site manager anything verbally does not mean its getting done.  Write it down.   Again nothing deliberate, they just don't write it down and forget.

"After researching reviews, we contacted Lux Foundation Solutions to assess the condition of the 1930’s stone foundation of our home. On the Lux Foundation Solutions website it states, “We saw a need for a honest, reputable and dedicated company within the industry; putting customers first before profit and personal interests.” Based on our interaction with the company this philosophy is spot on. Laurie, our initial contact was professional and helpful in scheduling and rescheduling appointments. Tony, the Lux Foundation Solutions structural engineer arrived right on time, listened to our concerns, and made an exceedingly thorough inspection of the property. His expertise, guidance and understanding of our foundation issues coupled with his suggestions and knowledge to rectify water and landscaping issues was exceedingly valuable and appreciated. We highly recommend Lux Foundation Solutions."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.
