"I recently had the pleasure of working with Just Stamping Concrete for a landscape design project, and I cannot recommend them enough! They are a true gem in the industry, and their work speaks for itself."
"Giovani and Dell of Ultra Construction were great to work with and they responded quickly and efficiently to our contractor inquiry. They came out the next day and provided a fair and reasonable estimate. Dell and his crew, including Julian came out and had the concrete walkway and stairs installed in just one day. It looks great and we couldn’t be happier with the results. Their prep work and cleanup were outstanding. Would highly recommend this company for any concrete construction work"
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben and his team on a major concrete project at my property in San Mateo, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our project involved constructing a 180-foot-long sidewalk and a 16-car garage driveway on a busy street, which required precision, organization, and expertise. Ben and his team exceeded my expectations in every way. From the very beginning, Ben was professional, transparent, and detail-oriented. He walked me through the entire process, including securing the necessary city permits and clearly marking all underground utility lines to avoid any issues. His attention to detail and proactive approach gave me complete confidence in his abilities. During the project, we encountered an unexpected challenge: two segments of a corrupted underground sewer line. Ben handled the situation with remarkable professionalism and flexibility. He coordinated seamlessly with my plumber, adjusting his team's schedule to allow for the replacement of a total of 40 feet of 3" sewer lines. Additionally, he replaced the incoming copper water line without any delays or complications. This level of collaboration and problem-solving truly set Ben apart. The execution of the project was flawless. Ben and his team were incredibly organized and committed to staying on schedule. They arrived early every morning and worked diligently until late afternoon, ensuring consistent progress. It was clear that Ben treated my project as a top priority, and his dedication as a project manager was evident throughout. The quality of their work is outstanding. The finished sidewalk and driveway are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Ben's quote was fair and reasonable, and he delivered exceptional value for the investment. I am so grateful to have found Ben and his team. If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional concrete contractor who can handle unexpected challenges with ease, Ben is the best person for the job. I will definitely hire him again for any future projects and highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-notch concrete work. Thank you, Ben and team, for making this project such a positive experience! Your expertise, flexibility, and dedication are truly appreciated."

"Paul Stanley is my hands down person to go to for any concrete or asphalt work! He has such a wonderful team and fulfilled what needed to be done above and beyond. Got the job done in a very nice timely matter. Was very clean with his work, also moved things for me that I couldn’t move. 5/5"
"Skippy is very easy to work with. He offers meaningful suggestions on the project and is also very open to input from the customer. It is obvious that he wants the customer to be happy. We were very pleased with the overall result (demolish existing deck, replace with approx 900 sq ft of stamped concrete patio with lots of drainage, and build brick retaining wall with stucco finish and bullnose brick top) We did have some minor concerns about the work flow (it seemed to us to be a bit disjointed), but the finished product does speak for itself, and we would recommend this group - we anticipate them doing other things in the near future."
The ideal base for concrete is even, firm, and permeable to encourage drainage. Depending on your project's weight requirements, a combination of gravel, sand, or other aggregates is best. While you can technically pour concrete over grass, dirt, or an old piece of concrete, you risk threatening the concrete's stability.
While fumigation chemicals cannot pass through solid objects, they will seep into any openings in walls, doors, or other closed spaces. This allows them to get into tight places where pests may be hiding and causing damage, like termites ruining the foundation of your home. It also means that your home needs to ventilate for 48 hours before returning to ensure that no harmful chemicals remain in your space.
Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.
Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
Any bowing in a basement wall indicates a problem that needs to be addressed by a professional. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time for an inspection. Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness (around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick wall) before it becomes an urgent situation. Bowing of 2 to 4 inches is more straightforward to fix than bowing of more than 4 inches, which will require significant repairs. If the bowing is more than 6 inches, the wall will likely need to be replaced. The sooner you address the problem, the easier and less expensive the repair will be.
