"John Stone did the initial assessment and explained our options including financing. Alfonso Cobos and Mihail Gadjelor installed basement gutters and supports to stabilize our front porch. They were responsive and kept us informed of schedule adjustments. All JES employees were clearly experienced and answered any questions we had."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"Fantastic experience from beginning to end. I'm very happy I went with Joe's company. They are absolute professionals and I could see everyday watching their progress, that they are concerned with quality. Joe had great communication with me throughout the whole process, and they were able to finish on time despite all the rain we were getting. I will definitely hire him again in the future for any masonry."

"Provider was suppose to return and finish laying sand on the patio. Since job was very close to complete, I paid him rather than wait. I never heard from him again. The sand has since washed out in spots and another provider is correcting the situation with polymeric sand. Other than the sand issue, the patio looks good in the way it is laid out. Provider was punctual, and the project went very fast considering it was in the middle of the winter.

"Project went very well. Horace and Vic showed up on schedule, explained clearly what they would be doing, kept me apprised of the progress as the job was performed, and walked me through the results. I was a bit surprised by the price for the work, but this was the only company that responded and committed to do the work, so I really don't have a good comparison price point. Note that the process was NOT mudjacking, but jacking and reinforcement with a poly product that offers many benefits over mudjacking."

"When they inspected my chimney they discovered that my chimney was was never rebuilt correctly, they took pictures that showed mortar was only partially applied and there were cracks . They filled in and sealed what was needed. They also advised me to have my chimney cleaned after burning a cord of word. They offered a warranty on their work and will keep a record of what was done with the pictures. I was pleased especially after I have had more the a few companies clean my chimney and even had one iinstall an insert and no one ever mentioned the condition of my chimney.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Allowing snow and ice to pile against your foundation accelerates freeze-thaw damage during cold VA winters. Applying de-icing salts near brick surfaces causes rapid deterioration and spalling. Overflowing gutters that dump water directly onto walls also erode mortar joints quickly. Additionally, letting ivy grow on chimneys or using high-pressure washers to clean delicate historic bricks will significantly shorten the lifespan of your masonry work.

Helpful?

Your home is a strong candidate for masonry work if you notice cracking, spalling, or mortar deterioration. Galax experiences severe freeze-thaw cycles that trap moisture and damage brick and stone over time. Older homes with original fieldstone foundations or chimneys require regular inspections. Uneven settling caused by local clay-heavy soils also indicates a need for professional repairs to keep your property structurally sound.

Helpful?

You will find several types of professionals handling masonry work throughout the region. General contractors tackle a broad range of brick and block projects. Certified specialists focus strictly on chimney rebuilds and firebox restoration. Foundation experts manage structural repairs related to expansive soils. Hardscape professionals build retaining walls and stone patios, while restoration experts specialize in preserving historic homes using period-appropriate materials across Galax.

Helpful?

Watch for mortar joints eroding deeper than a quarter inch, as this allows immediate water infiltration. Stair-step cracks in block walls indicate differential settling in Galax's clay soils. White chalky stains on surfaces signal trapped moisture moving through the brick. Bowing retaining walls, cracked chimney crowns, and interior damp spots are serious warning signs that require prompt masonry work to prevent complete structural failure.

Helpful?

Start by confirming local permit requirements before beginning any structural masonry work. You should schedule your project between late April and October, as mortar fails to cure properly during cold VA winters. Assess your site for proper drainage and slope stability. Always verify your hired professionals hold valid state licenses. Finally, check with local planning offices regarding any historic preservation guidelines for older properties.
