Though it may look extravagant, brick and stone can be an affordable addition to your home. Installing it is a tough job, however. Why spend your weekends toiling over brick and mortar when you can hire a brick and stone mason at a reasonable price?
Ask trusted friends and family members if they know of any stone masons in your area. Then interview the contractors who come with good references. Make sure they have extensive experience working with brick and stone, and are licensed and bonded.
