Cleaned up work area thoroughly and provided photographs of chimney repair work before and after. Throughout the process, Chuck kept me informed daily on the progress and any issues he had found. A positive experience."
Protect your family during masonry work by keeping children and pets completely away from the property when cutting or grinding brick, which creates hazardous silica dust. For older Burlington homes, disturbing painted surfaces releases dangerous lead particles. Schedule loud projects during weekday school hours to minimize household disruptions. Always install temporary fencing around foundation excavations to prevent accidental falls and keep curious pets away from dangerous construction materials.
Helpful?
A major mistake during masonry work is using hard, modern cement on historic brick, which causes the brick faces to crack. Starting projects after early October risks freezing the fresh mortar before it fully cures in the VT climate. Homeowners also ignore white salt deposits on foundation walls, which indicate active water leaks. Furthermore, replacing chimney mortar will not fix leaks caused by damaged roof flashing.
Helpful?
Applying rock salt directly to brick walkways accelerates surface flaking during harsh VT winters. Piling shoveled snow against your foundation traps moisture, which expands and degrades joints during freeze-thaw cycles. Neglecting fall gutter cleaning allows overflowing water to saturate and ruin exterior brick walls. Keep ivy and moss off surfaces, and maintain a proper drainage slope away from your home to protect your masonry work from serious water damage.
Helpful?
Chimneys demand frequent masonry work due to intense freeze-thaw cycles and heavy ice exposure at the highest point of your home. Front stoops and steps deteriorate rapidly from constant foot traffic and de-icing chemicals. Below-grade foundation walls face immense hydrostatic pressure from high water tables across Burlington. You should also monitor retaining walls for leaning and inspect mid-century brick veneers for bulging caused by trapped moisture.
Helpful?
To handle minor masonry work safely, inspect your home between late September and mid-October before the ground freezes in Burlington. Clear moss from joints using a stiff natural-bristle brush, and redirect downspouts away from the foundation. Monitor small cracks by marking the edges with a pencil and date. You should hire a local professional to repair soft, lime-based mortar on older homes to prevent severe brick damage.
