"We had erosion under our outbuilding. We thought we could take care of it ourselves. After more than a year of continued erosion, we gave up and called Traditional Masonry! They were out to our house the next day! The concrete footer went right in the first day. The second day required some relocation of some dirt piles we had near the work site. On the third day, we had a beautiful new retaining wall! Things I liked: 1) The speed with which the work was done. 2) The skill with which the work was done. 3) The cleanliness of the workers. The place is cleaner now than before they came. They left no trash for us to clean up. 4) They did not smoke while on our work site. 5) They didn't play loud music while working. 6) They did everything they said they would do exactly when they said they would do it. It's hard to find a contractor who can meet all these criteria....But Traditional Masonry does! I highly recommend them and will use them again for some more masonry projects we have in store."

"Excellent work and service throughout. It was a renovation project to remove old retaining wall timbers and put in block, pavers, and cap stones â along with new curbstone for another bed and a new parking area, and some new plantings. Big project and very complicated with both renovations and new work; really about 4 projects packaged together into a 3 week duration. Bryan and the crew were consistently creative, building a landing that tied in to multiple levels, and capping a couple smaller existing block walls to make everything tie together. Always willing to find a way to make it work, adjust to my preference, and respectful of our space."

"We are in the process of building a home in Powhatan, VA. We recently had the best professional experience with Bobby from Coastal Landscape Construction! This was not an easy job to clear about 2 acres, put in a long drive way and work in challenging cold and wet weather. Bobby is an up and coming young professional and knows exactly how to plan and achieve the end goal. Bobby was always on time, communicated daily and effectively, planned the land clearing perfectly and his prices are competitive but extremely reasonable. If you want or need any construction work completed right, you MUST use Bobby from Coastal Landscape Construction! Bobby earned a 10/10 perfect review from us and we will be using him again during our home building process! His business phone number is 804-441-1768, serving Powhatan, Midlothian and Richmond VA area."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.

A well-made brick wall can last up to 100 years if maintained properly, which includes regularly repairing the mortar every 30 to 50 years. If your brick wall is under 30 years old and is already showing signs of repair, it may be due to poor brickwork and installation. Extreme weather conditions can also accelerate a brick wall’s life span (especially the exterior of a house).

You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

Yes, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe.
