"I feel very fortunate to have hired Shaun, owner of DeHaven Masonry, to remove a 25 year old, 396 sq. ft. pathway and install a new herringbone pattern stone walkway as a replacement. His high quality work and work ethic exceeded my expectations. His project approach demonstrated a clear path for success. He is precise, artistic, and determined to match your outcome vision. He nailed it! I would highly recommend Shaun to anyone who may have a masonry project on their wish list of to-do or may need a masonry repair. Smiling from ear to ear, Leslie"
"Stetson was great! I did not give him much time when I inquired about the job. He gave me a fair quote and fit me in his schedule so I stayed on my schedule. I will definitely use Stetson again for my masonry needs. He is a class act!!"

"They haven't been able to start the project yet because of the weather in this area; however, projected finish is in the latter part of March (as soon as temps stay above freezing). This company has excellent customer service. I had an estimate within days of when the problem was assessed. For what has to be done, this estimate seems reasonable. The person who was sent to do the assessment was very knowledgeable, very friendly, answered all my questions, and could explain things so I understood them! I would recommend this company to anyone needing masonry work. Based on my conversations with this company, I expect the project will be done very well and will last."

You should use cement for a chimney crown. The purpose of the chimney crown is to protect the mortar below from water damage and the effects of weather. For this reason, chimney crowns should only be made using cement. When repairing a crown, use caulks and sealants designed for cement repair rather than mortar repair.
Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.
A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.
When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.
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).
