Bricklayers Are Going to Hate Me for Sharing These Secrets...

In this part of our brick addition series, I'm sharing professional masonry techniques that most contractors learn only after years of experience on the job site. From setting up corner leads and keeping walls perfectly plumb to installing weep vents and building a clean soldier course above a window, you'll see exactly how a professional bricklayer approaches the work.

This isn't a staged tutorial—it's real-world masonry on an actual brick addition project. Along the way, I'll share practical tips, common mistakes to avoid, and techniques that help create a stronger, cleaner, and more professional finish.

In this video you'll learn:
✔️ How to set and build corner leads
✔️ How to keep brickwork plumb and level
✔️ Proper bricklaying techniques
✔️ Installing weep vents correctly
✔️ Soldier course installation above windows
✔️ Professional masonry tips and tricks
✔️ Brick addition construction process
✔️ Real job site training and education

Whether you're a homeowner, DIYer, apprentice bricklayer, or experienced mason, these are techniques that can help improve your brickwork and understanding of professional masonry construction.

🚨 Water getting inside your chimney? Don’t ignore it.

This homeowner had water leaking down inside the chimney, and since the fireplace was no longer in use, the smartest option was to cap it off properly to stop future water damage. 💧

A lot of people want to rush jobs or cover up problems… but quality work starts with proper preparation. If the base isn’t right, the finish won’t last.

At 1KB Construction, we believe in doing it right the first time. No shortcuts. Just quality workmanship that lasts. 👊🏾

🚨 Most contractors would patch the crack… we repair it the RIGHT way. 👀🔥

A long-lasting repair starts with proper prep, bonding agent, fiber mesh, and the right technique — because shortcuts lead to cracks coming back. In this video, we show the full process of repairing a cracked parging wall the proper way, from grinding and surface prep to bonding agent, fiber mesh reinforcement, adhesive mortar base coat, finish coat, and final sponge finish.

A lot of contractors patch cracks and move on… but proper preparation is what makes repairs last. That’s why we remove weak spots, reinforce the repair with fiber mesh, and use proper bonding techniques to help improve durability and help reduce future cracking.

If you’re dealing with foundation cracks, damaged parging, crumbling concrete, masonry repair, brick repair, tuckpointing, or exterior wall repairs, quality matters. At 1KB Construction, we focus on doing the job properly — not taking shortcuts. 💪🏾🏠

Most people just cover foundation cracks… that’s why they come back.
This is how you fix it properly so it actually lasts.

Homeowners—if you’ve got cracks in your foundation, don’t rush into a quick patch job. Most repairs fail because the prep is skipped and the crack isn’t reinforced properly.

In this video, I break down the real process:
✔️ Proper surface prep (grinding + cleaning)
✔️ Adhesive bonding mortar
✔️ Fiber mesh reinforcement
✔️ Multiple coats for long-term strength

This is the difference between a repair that looks good for a few months… and one that actually lasts for years.

If you want it done right the first time, reach out to 1KB Construction.
Send photos or book a quick video call—we’ll guide you the right way.
