One of the largest problems that happens is that the wrong waterproofing is used or a poor quality product is used. We offer a wide range of sealers for all brick, block, stone, & concrete. We also have standing appointments to come out when needed.

Why Use Masonry Products
First of all, masonry products such as brick, block, and stone
are great and can be integrated into limitless ways. They offer
many benefits. But let’s look at three distinct ways masonry
products can work for you.
Durability
The first, durability and long lasting. Because of that, it is one
of the best methods available today. As a example, having
exterior brick or stone on your outside walls will make for a
lifetime investment. It is what we consider zero maintenance.
Brick does not need to be cleaned, painted, or treated. It adds
amazing protection from the outside weather elements. It is
resistant to damages from insects like termites. And masonry
products are not flammable. Because of these benefits, brick &
stone have tremendous advantages over anything else.
Appeal
The second, it adds appeal. Masonry products can add a
dramatic look to a house or building. It is timeless and has
never gone out of style. When people approach a masonry
structure, they will automatically view it as sound and wellbuilt.
Efficient
The third, it is efficient in building and in energy. Masonry
products can be used in many areas such as foundations, walls,
and chimneys. Because of longevity, it is efficient and does
not need replacement. Once it is installed correctly, you’re
good to go with no upgrading making it a green product.
Masonry products also are Energy efficient. They actually will
keep a structure warmer in the winter and cooler in the
summer which helps save on energy cost. But these three areas
that we talked about are just a few examples of just how
masonry products are a benefit.
Things To Consider When Using Masonry
But with anything that has benefits, there’s also concerns. The
largest issues that can be experienced is using the right product
and installation. First is the product that is being used correct
for the application? Does it meet the needs? What kind of
maintenance is needed after it’s installed?
Here are two examples of concern. First, If mortar is being
used, what type of mortar is it? Even the finishing joints can
affect how things hold up. If joints are recessed on an exterior
wall, how will is affect the wall from the elements of the
weather? Second example, a brick sidewalk is is constructed.
Questions might be will you use grounding joints? If so, how
will living in a environment with snow and ice on the surface
affect the sidewalk?
Do research
Doing research on the topic of masonry is a great idea. If
you’re going to hire a company to repair any masonry
projects, make sure to ask questions. If there is maintenance,
what is it? What are my options? Good communication is the
key in all projects.
