What is the best stone for steps and how much does it cost?

• <div><p>The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between <b>$15 and $30 per linear foot</b>. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing <b>$25 to $50 per linear foot</b>. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.</p></div>

Is it normal for brick mortar to crack?

• <div><p>Minor hairline cracks in mortar are normal over time. This is a natural occurrence as bricks settle. You should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cracked-brick-always-foundation-issue.htm">worry about cracks in brick</a> if you see vertical cracks that widen as they move up, stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, or deep horizontal cracks. These are all more serious signs of foundation damage.</p></div>

Q: What is considered the hearth of a fireplace?

• <div><p>A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they&rsquo;ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they&rsquo;ll simply go out.</p></div>

Q: What causes brick spalling?

• <div><p>Brick spalling&mdash;which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time&mdash;is caused by a few different conditions. These include:</p><ul><li><p>Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles</p></li><li><p>Use of non-breathable sealants</p></li><li><p>High-pressure water cleaning</p></li><li><p>Improper installation</p></li></ul><p>While you can&rsquo;t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don&rsquo;t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/masonry/">masonry contractor in your area</a> for your project.</p></div>

Q: What is considered masonry?

• <div><p>Masonry is an umbrella term that involves adhering individual building materials together using an adhesive, so many different things are considered masonry. These include constructing stone or brick walls or facades, installing stucco siding, installing backsplashes or tile floors, and even installing glass block windows, in some cases. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-are-most-common-masonry-materials.htm">Masonry materials</a> include natural stone, clay bricks, concrete bricks, glass blocks, and tiles.</p></div>
