"I was very impressed with the work that they did. I had a hard time finding a company that could pour to fill in the sunken living room to bring it up to grade with the rest of the slab. They did a fantastic job getting the concrete level and integrating it with the rest of the slab. Cost was on par with what I had estimated from internet searches. I will definitely use them again for any future concrete work!"
"Their pricing was very competitive, and they did a great job laying in a block retaining wall for me. Created two tiers, graded everything flat, and cleaned area just fine. Very responsive communication by Ernie, and good customer service overall."
"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."
"My extensive project entailed new sod, irrigation, plantings and rock in the front yard. In the back yard, demo of a small patio, and pouring of a huge decorative concrete surface, plus new sod and irrigation. I plan to hire Alex next year to revamp the flower beds in the back as that piece had to wait. Alex and his team were absolutely outstanding. Attention to detail, such as the drainage system, and overall expertise resulted in a complete transformation. Pricing was competitive. Alex was very pleasant to work with. He listens and offers professional guidance. I highly recommend Hermanos Flores Gardening."
"D & L Landscaping is truly the best company we have ever hired to do work improvement for concrete and stone. First, they are all the most professional, kind, hardworking, men I have ever dealt with. First, they used a tractor to dig and make it perfect and level, then they poured the cement. The cement work they do is beautiful! They put stone in the side of it, also, which was equally beautiful! They came back and pressure washed the old driveway and made it look like new. All of my neighbors are calling to hire them! I have never had so many people ask for a business card for them! This company does top of the line work for extremely exceptional prices. They are all polite, kind, and on time! I am so grateful for Angi’s List. If it wasn’t for Angi’s, I wouldn’t have discovered this 5 star company D&L landscaping. So thank you D&L landscaping, and thank you to Angi’s List!"
"David responded soon after I put out a request for bids for a new driveway and RV pad. He took the time to explain how the project would be done, what materials he would be using, and the results I could expect. Of the three estimates I received, David actually SOLD the job!"
"Raul of Foundation of Dreams Construction Inc did a great job for us and we highly recommend him for any projects that requires his specialty. Charlie A. Lapurga CAL Elite Builders President"
"Mark and his crew did and excellent job with installing pavers in my backyard. He told me it would take 3 days and they were finished in 3 days. They cleaned up after themselves which I have had contractors before leave their empty water bottles and food wrappers behind. Mark and his crew are professional, friendly and hard workers. I had used Mark 13 years ago when I bought this home and they did a great job with the front of the house. It is unrecognizable from what I had purchased. I was so glad he did not retire and was happy that he was still on Angi's list for me to hire. Great work team."
"Steven was very respectful, on time, and went above and beyond to what I needed done. he laid 5 yards of bark with weed fabric and planted around 20 plants, he did awesome"
Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.
A traditional German schmear uses mortar, making it unsuitable for adherence to painted surfaces. Professionals recommend removing any existing paint before applying mortar. However, you can rough up the painted surface and clean it to test if the mortar will stick. Remember that the underlying paint's texture and color may affect the schmear's final appearance—so starting with a bare brick wall will ensure the ideal finish.
Yes, brick walls often add value to a home. For starters, many people love the look of brick walls, so they can enhance your home's aesthetic appeal and add warmth to your property, especially when it aligns with the rest of your neighborhood's look. They also provide privacy and security, which can further increase the resale value of your home.
Yes, depending on the type of pavers you have, you may need a specific type of sealant. For example, concrete pavers will bond differently than clay pavers or faux stone pavers and will demand a different type of sealer. If you’re unsure of the material and what type of sealant you need, you can contact the company that laid your pavers down for you.
It is possible, albeit a lot slower, to break up a rock using water. You would do this by freezing and thawing the water. You could create some initial holes or cracks in the rock, then pour water into the cracks or holes and allow them to freeze (so it's best to do this in winter or in colder climates). Since water expands when it freezes, this puts pressure on the inside of the rock and causes it to crack. You could continue to pour more water in and let it freeze to continue to break up the rock.
