"The team at Alpha Foundations did a fantastic job supporting our foundation. They had to drill 37 feet down and handled everything in a little over a day. The clean up was perfect as well. Top notch company with top notch staff. Thank you Dylan, Jake, Alberto and Charles!!"
"We had them come out and address our seawall. The issues were the footings underneath the wall, they used a special solution injected into the soil. And fixed our seawall"
"Thomas and Like arrived on time and met with me to verify the scope of work. I showed them one additional item that I would like to be completed and they were able to do that. They met with me a couple of times during the project to show me what had been done and what limitations they were looking at based on the condition of the concrete. They completed the work and showed me what they had accomplished. I was extremely satisfied with their work. Great team and good representatives of LRE Ground Services/Foundation Repair."
"V&W Hardscapes LLC who also owns Tip Top Tree Service did a beautiful job on my paver driveway and installing pavers around my pool deck, I also used their tree service to remove multiple trees and to trim my oak trees on a regular basis. They have insurance and worker?s compensation. Highly recommend for quality work !"
"All the staff from Creative Outdoor Solutions were very professional, respectful, and sharp. The project was mapped out and done very well as I wanted! Would definitely recommend for anyone willing to have pavers! I loved it"
"Dean was amazing. He brought super healthy shrubs and huge bamboo plants for our privacy fencing needs. We called him back for more! He was timely, knowledgeable and very pleasant to have working on our property. He was a huge help with our project. He taught us some different things along the way, and helped us understand the irrigation needs. We will be calling on him again for our next project!!! Thank you, Dean!!"
"I want to express my sincere appreciation and respect for the owner and workers for this great company and the great people the company has on their team before it gets to be too long since they finished the many jobs I had them do throughout my home, The owner and workers were a Godsend and I'll never forget that. The quality of professionalism and work is second to none from what I witnessed. I've been in construction for over 35 years and have never come across any Contractor, sub-contractor, etc. that did a job to the letter as agreed and expected to high quality and standards. You can quote me on this. These guys are the Best of the Best! I have more home projects coming up. The quality of work, on time, professional treatment and reasonable cost were above and beyond, so I will always use this company for my home needs. Thank you for everything. God Bless you and yours and the other guys. Sincerely, Bob"
"We hired American Pavers to replace the flower bed around our pool area with pavers. Junior and his helper were very professional, knowledgeable, extremely polite and did an excellent job. Hiago, the owner, was quick with the estimate, professional, knowledgeable, very honest about not being the lowest price but the level of customer service and warranty convinced us American Pavers was the way to go! He worked with our timetable, was on-site to ensure everything was going as planned and to our satisfaction. This company is about customer service and they excel at it! I would recommend them to anyone needing paver work."
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.
The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:
Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot
Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot
Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot
Always work with licensed and certified masons in your area when installing a stone wall or even a stone veneer. Just like all home designers, they should provide an impressive portfolio and offer a free estimate for the project. Pick the pro who fits your budget and schedule and, most importantly, helps you realize your landscape vision.
Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.
You should worry about brick wall cracks when they are wide and growing, or in a horizontal or stair-step pattern. Additionally, they may be accompanied by other signs of structural stress. In these cases, a foundation specialist should inspect your home.
