Homeowners really appreciate the hands on approach that we provide. -TJ
"I screwed up the pavers in our rather large outdoor patio when I tried using Sakrete as grout. Turns out it was a bad idea as the pavers absorbed the Sakrete and the “grout” dried very unevenly. TJ and his crew ground down the excess / dried grout and then used a special / very fine grout that spread and dried evenly. The pavers and the patio now looks like new! These guys did great work and I can’t thank them enough (they even fixed a cracked sprinkler pipe while they were there - they saved the day!). I highly recommend TJ for any of your remodeling needs - trust me, you won’t be disappointed! "

"While there's some good reviews for Melnick's masonry, I never got a chance to have an opinion of his work. However, I can certainly speak of the fact that he doesn't keep his Word, at least not with me I signed a contract with him in August of 2021, and he never showed up. I explained to him that I had a dangerous situation in my driveway with a large dip in the pavement, and during the winter when it rained or snowed this area would fill with water and freeze and it was dangerous and almost impossible to drive over it . What made it worse was the fact I've had 3 leg injuries, was on crutches for a long time, couldn't drive for a while, and still have to use a cane. If I got struck in the driveway, I couldn't get out of the car as I certainly can't walk or ice or snow. When I explained this to him and his wife, his wife told me that he would give me some priority. He of course, didn't and I called and spoke with him several times about this. He would give me excuses each time, saying that he was so terribly busy, that the man hauling away the concrete was having trouble finding a place to dump it, and the weather didn't cooperate at times, etc. He also said that if there wasn't enough gravel under the existing driveway and he had to haul in more gravel my quote would go up because otherwise, he wouldn't make any money. He told me one week he would call me within 2 weeks and try to take care of it, but he never called. When I finally realized this man was not going to to this, I had to start from scratch to find someone else, being afraid it was too late in the year to get someone. Thankfully, I finally found the right person, a person that apparently cares about people. He came after only a few weeks notice and gave me a new driveway. It was such a relief, and I told him I would be forever grateful. This man stated that there was no gravel at all under the old driveway and he had to haul in gravel, but his price didn't go up. I wish there were more people like this man that agreed to do my driveway, and this would be a better world. I called Phil recently to see why he never honored the contract. It sounded like he hung up on me. At least, we were disconnected. I called back and talked to him for a couple of minutes, but then his wife took over the call and was very upset with me; and I never got to speak with Phil again."

At Baptiste Masonry we take great pride in every job we do like it was our own home. With 25 years experience I have seen a lot of beautiful work done by others and I have also seen a lot of not so good work. My goal for my customers is for them to be 100% satisfied and have a smile on their face when the work is complete. The job is not complete until that happens. In my years in the trade I have been fortunate enough to learn not just how to lay brick on a wall I have been part of some really great projects and really great people which I have learned a great deal and would love the opportunity to show my customers the great job I can do for them.
"Very professional. Did job quickly and cleaned up. Very happy with the job that was done. Easily would recommend them to someone. "

Masons charge between $70 and $110 per hour. A mason may have a minimum service fee ranging from $80 to $300. Most bricklayers offer free estimates and charge only if you proceed with the project. This clear pricing model assures that professionals inspect your property before beginning work and charge based on your project’s actual requirements.
A professional repointing lasts 20 to 30 years without maintenance and extends up to 50 years when maintained diligently. This process protects your brickwork using high-quality materials that ensure lasting performance and durability. Consistent upkeep preserves its strength and appearance, providing enduring protection and enhancing your home’s overall structural integrity for decades.
You know your house needs repointing when you notice clear signs such as cracked, flaking, or missing mortar and visible discoloration on the brick surfaces. Additional indicators include loose bricks, water damage, and gaps between the brick joints that compromise the overall integrity of the structure. Addressing these issues promptly protects your investment and sustains the durability and curb appeal of your home.
A house needs repointing to preserve both its structural integrity and visual appeal. Mortar acts as a vital bonding agent that holds the bricks securely together. When the mortar deteriorates, it exposes the structure to water infiltration and further decay, increasing the risk of costly repairs. Repointing stops decay and reinforces the exterior, ensuring long-term protection.
