Frequently Asked Questions

Expert Answers on Masonry Services

Masonry refers to construction work built using individual units such as brick, stone, concrete block, or clay tile, which are bonded together with mortar. Common masonry structures include walls, chimneys, foundations, patios, and retaining walls.

Fall is the ideal time to inspect, repair, and safeguard your masonry before freeze-thaw cycles lead to serious damage, giving you a chance to address issues early and prevent costly repairs in the winter.

The three main types of masonry are brick masonry, stone masonry, and concrete block masonry, each using different materials bonded with mortar.

Concrete is generally stronger in compression, especially when reinforced with steel. Masonry, however, offers excellent durability and load-bearing capacity when properly constructed. Reinforced masonry can approach the strength of reinforced concrete in many applications.
