Get matched with top masons in Granton, WI

Q: What does a mason do?

• <div><p>A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:</p><ul><li><p>Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings</p></li><li><p>Freestanding stone or <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-wall-cost.htm">brick walls</a></p></li><li><p>Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces</p></li><li><p>Cement block basement or crawl space walls</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long do brick and brick veneer siding last?

• <div><p>Solid brick structures can last a century or more, potentially 100 to 150 years with proper maintenance like tuckpointing. Without major repairs, classic red bricks may last 20 to 40 years. Brick veneer siding is also a long-lasting material, with a lifespan ranging from 50 to 100 years, provided it is properly installed and maintained. To maintain brick veneer, you should scrub it annually with a special detergent and a soft-bristled broom. It's also important to inspect the bricks and mortar regularly and hire a masonry contractor for any necessary repairs, such as fixing worn mortar or bowing bricks.</p></div>

Q: Can I use a regular drill for making pilot holes in brick?

• <div><p>You can use a regular drill to make pilot holes for gutter brackets in the wooden fascia board around the top of your house, but it&rsquo;s not the best tool for brick. Instead, you&rsquo;ll need a heavy-duty power tool like a hammer drill with a carbide tip bit.</p></div>

Q: Do chimney cleaning bricks work?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-creosote-sweeping-logs-really-work.htm">chimney cleaning brick or log</a> can help loosen creosote between professional chimney cleaning appointments. Although they can help keep your chimney cleaner, they are not a substitute for chimney sweeping and are not meant to be used regularly.</p></div>

Q: When should I worry about cracks in brick walls?

• <div><p>You should worry about <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">brick wall cracks</a> when they are wide and growing, or in a horizontal or stair-step pattern. Additionally, they may be accompanied by other signs of structural stress. In these cases, a foundation specialist should inspect your home.</p></div>

"Gregg and Gunnar did a fantastic job of lifting and sealing my garage floor. After 20 years of slowly failing, sinking, and cracking, they were able to get it back to an acceptable condition. It'll never be "flat" like freshly poured concrete but, it is so much better after their work. They took the time to explain the process and also any areas where they were unable to get the slab perfectly flat again, and they explained why. They were quick, cleaned up after themselves, and patiently explained the process and results"
