We do all type of concrete design: concrete demolition; patio in the back yard and front yard, walkway, driveway, steps, concrete wall, block wall cap, broom concrete, Top cast concrete, exposed concrete, texture concrete, stamps concrete, color concrete. All kind of stamps are available and all concrete color are available. Check us out on our website: http://fgconcretedesign.com/

"This is the 2nd time we worked with Feliciano and his team. They are respectful, hard working, neat and fast! I particularly appreciate that they are willing to work with me on designs and tweaking things until the cement is poured. We listened to Feliciano to do stamping rather than pavers to save $ and so happy we did, it came out great."

"I moved in to a new development and Porfirio took care of all the landscaping front and backyard. Don’t think twice in calling him. Very professional and family oriented. I have a corner home with a bigger land and all the neighbors have just complemented the great work he did. Some comments “your front yard is the best one” “he was quick compared to the ones I hired” “amazing”. His work speaks for itself."

"Evan and his team were great. They showed up on time and were very careful with the work and my property. A couple of examples were he had the concrete truck drivers survey the access before attempting to bring their truck. I live on the side of a steep hill so this was important to confirm. Also, Evan was the only bidder that brought up drainage and how best to manage it. Changes to my original plan were discussed and we both agreed on the additional cost of what I wanted before any work was done. I learned a lot from the experience and believe I got what I really needed, not just what I had originally thought. Evan’s experience and ability to communicate were key to getting a great project. I highly recommend this company."

"Was to be an extensive concrete ramp & steps with brick inlay and bordered by brick retaining walls. Very professional start with large competent crew, heavy machinery. Concrete was poured & paid for 7/19/24 with restart planned in 4+ days. Then nothing. 8/2 "Truck problems". 8/6 still no cleanup, no progress or plan forward. Front walkway/door inaccessible. 8/10 prelim notice from unpaid concrete supplier. Contractor finally shows up again - bricklayer quit, can't find another or a subcontractor. 9/6 release from concrete supplier and an employee sent to do some cleanup. Agree to close out contract for $16,000 paid with no retaining walls, slots in ramps for inlay brick still needing grinding to proper depth, no banister on steps, major cleanup undone."

Concrete Walls questions, answered by experts

If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage. 

Costs depend on material type, labor rates, and additional features like decorative finishes or reinforcement.

Concrete houses cost 10% to 20% more to build than stick-built homes, and maintenance on home systems is more invasive and expensive due to pipes and wires being buried in concrete. Concrete homes can also look more industrial and less comfortable if you don’t cover the concrete with finishing materials. It’s also more challenging to make changes to concrete, so reframing doors and windows or building home additions will cost more. Concrete needs time to cure, too, so the timeline to build a house out of concrete is a bit longer.

The actual moisture level that is acceptable for your concrete floor depends on what primer or flooring material you plan to install above it. For this reason, you should check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact details.

Generally, the moisture levels should be 3.5% to 4.5%, although it does vary. Some products can handle higher levels of moisture, so you should always test your concrete before purchasing your flooring materials.

Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
