CHARLOTTE NC  STONE MASONS-MASONRY-REPAIR 

Hold large stones in place

To hold large stones in place, stonemasons attach brackets to the stone and weld or bolt these brackets to anchors in the wall. Finally, masons wash the stone with a cleansing solution to remove stains and dry mortar. When setting stone floors, which often consist of large and heavy pieces of stone, masons first use a trowel to spread a layer of damp mortar over the surface to be covered. Using crowbars and hard rubber mallets for aligning and leveling, they then set the stone in the mortar bed. To finish, workers fill the joints and clean the stone slabs. Masons use a special hammer and chisel to cut stone. They cut stone along the grain to make various shapes and sizes, and valuable pieces often are cut with a saw that has a diamond blade. Some masons specialize in setting marble, which, in many respects, is similar to setting large pieces of stone. Brick masons and stonemasons also repair imperfections and cracks, and replace broken or missing masonry units in walls and floors.....Our custom stone masonry services include: Stone wall construction Block wall construction Stone waterfall construction Stone wall repair Stone veneer installation Building stone planner Custom stone masonry Building stone retaining wall Stone wall crack repair Stone wall repair Masonry wall repair Retaining wall repair.
