Does Your New Home Need a Masonry Contractor?

• There are certain projects around the home that
  benefit from the skills of a masonry contractor,
  and in many cases, their work can embellish a
  home and make it unique.
• Lets take a closer look at the role of a mason
• What is a stone mason?
• Its important to first point out that a stone
  mason is not the same as a bricklayer, and the
  two do not carry out the same work at all. If
  youre looking for help with stone or brick work
  around your home, its important to differentiate
  between the two roles so that you can employ the
  right kind of contractor to carry out the work.

• Bricklayers are typically employed by the
  construction industry (or of course, may work
  independently) and they use clay, and concrete
  bricks or blocks. Creating walls and walkways
  with bricks or blocks of the same size, they
  place them in the basic pattern required and use
  mortar to secure them in place.
• A mason, on the other hand, creates construction
  products utilizing stone, marble, granite and
  other natural materials this can be with or
  without the use of mortar.

• What sort of work does a masonry contractor do?
• The work of a mason is much more complex than
  that of a bricklayer, and a good mason will have
  a deep understanding of the material theyre
  using in order to successfully complete the
  required structure.
• The materials that a mason uses, such as stone
  and granite, cannot be easily placed to create a
  structure in the same way that bricks and blocks
  can the materials must match well and maintain a
  certain visual appeal.

• How could masonry benefit your home?
• From decorative features on the exterior of a
  home, to walls and structures on or in the home,
  masonry can help make a building look unique and
  have a far greater curb appeal than a home
  without it. If youre trying to sell your home,
  or may wish to in the near future, masonry work
  could help give you a unique selling point and
  even enable you to sell it for more.
• Resistant to the elements, masonry is also fire
  and termite resistant, helping it to last longer
  and require minimal maintenance (if any) over the
  years.

• So, if youre seeking to build a beautiful stone
  fireplace in your home, or want to add some
  unique design features on the outside of your
  home, for example, a skilled masonry contractor
  will help you create stunning structures that
  stand the test of time. Reach out to a reputable
  construction company in your area for more
  details about masonry and how it can help improve
  your home.
