"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!"
"Nice, respectful, I asked if concrete could be ready for use by Certain date. They did that with no problems. Luis always willing to go that extra mile to help you out! Beautiful 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 hired Just Stamping Concrete for a landscaping project, and I must say that I was blown away by their work. Their team is highly skilled and knowledgeable, and they truly transformed my outdoor space into a beautiful oasis."
"Our 185 ft wooden retaining wall was failing and in dire need of repair/replacement. We had asked Daniel to quote both wood and stone, both quotes were very reasonable so we opted for stone and we couldn't be happier with the results. Daniels team did a wonderful job and our neighbors are almost as happy with it as we are. D&L Landscaping is now our go-to vendor for outdoor projects and we plan on using them on some other upcoming projects in the future."
"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"
"These guys were fantastic, from when Mark first came out to meet with me till even after the job was done and paid for. They did it all, excavating, large retaining walls, sprinklers, sod, concrete, hooking up an old waterfall, fences and a very custom gate. Very easy to work with, all my neighbors complement the yard. I went from the worst yard in the neighborhood to what I believe to be the nicest but I m a little biased. I told Mark what I wanted and he gave me some options on what I could do, I couldn t be happier with the job."
"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"
Yes, you can enlarge windows in a brick house. Your masonry contractor will need to cut away exterior brick to make space for the larger window, and you may also need to consult a structural engineer to make sure the window is properly supported inside the frame of the house.
Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.
You should generally drill into the mortar joints when installing shutters on brick. Mortar is softer, which makes drilling easier and puts less strain on your tools. It also lowers the risk of cracking a brick—something that’s a lot harder to fix. Mortar holds fasteners well enough for standard shutters, and if you ever need to patch the holes later, it’s a much simpler job than dealing with damaged brick. Just keep in mind that if your mortar joints are too thin or the hardware calls for brick anchoring, you'll need to check the manufacturer’s recommendations and adjust accordingly.
Dekton is worth the money for homeowners who want a nonporous countertop that resists heat, stains, water, scratches, and UV damage.

Dekton is not worth the cost for homeowners who are particularly worried about chipping or cracking.
You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.
