Since they are uniform shape and size they create a clean, symmetrical look that is desired by many homeowners. Bricks can be used for virtually any project including walkways, walls, and openings for doors and windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stone Masonry Construction Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Stone masonry is the most durable, strong and weather-resistant, due to the natural durability of this type of material. It is recommended for areas with high foot traffic like walkways, patios, or walls. One of the greatest advantages of stone is the aesthetic it offers, as it comes in a variety of colors, sizes, and textures. Stone masonry also requires little maintenance and repairs. Stone does not warp, swell, bend, or dent, and will withstand all types of weather conditions including wind, rain, hail, sleet, and snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Concrete Block Masonry Construction Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Concrete blocks are ideal for homeowners as they are resistant against weather, pests, rotting, mold, and fire. These blocks are available in many sizes, finishes, and colors. They also have good insulating properties against heat, sound, and moisture. Another great advantage of concrete masonry is that they use recycled materials that don\u2019t contain any harsh chemicals that can negatively affect your health or the environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Contact Us Today<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ready to make a change to your home, give our team at Unified a call today at (888) 631-2131 and let us turn your dream home into a reality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Benefits of Masonry Construction There are many benefits of masonry construction for homeowners.
