"I highly recommend Alpha Foundations. The first guy they sent out to evaluate the problem, Joseph Green, was extremely thorough and professional. He went above and beyond to make me happy. The two men who did the job, which was leveling two patios and filling in a gap between the house and the patios and repairing two substantial cracks, Cooper and Blake, did an amazing job. They were extremely thorough, making sure they addressed all issues and they did the job in a timely manner and cleaned up as if they were never there. I am 100 percent satisfied with all three men and I would highly recommend them and hire them again."
"Frank showed up on time and did a very professional job. Neighbors have already commented on how nice our newly graveled driveway looks. Would definitely recommend this company."
"They came on time, and efficiently widened our asphalt driveway so we could park another car there. After about a month, we found that the asphalt under the front wheels had formed a depression. RSA had warned us this might happen, and told me that they would return and correct the problem if it occurred. This they did, and we are very happy with their wirk."
"This a a professionally run company due to the owner supervision. I met with Mr. Tyre and was impressed with his knowledge and set an appointment. The service provided was excellent with a full crew and and reasonable prices. I recommend this company highly. If you are looking for service that show up on time and work efficiently then you must try Tyre. Francine Sober Bay Harbor Island’s"
"The windows and doors are wonderful. However the project took longer than promised. I will say, the company does beautiful work with regard to installation and sealing of windows, doors and overall craftsmanship.. I've seen what other companies have done to neighbors houses and the work was sloppy and they actually damaged the house. That wasn't the case here!
I did have a few problems with our sales person Cary. I then I started dealing with Monica, the Operations Director, who got things done right and in a timely fashion..
Actually Cary, the windows which had to be changed at your cost of 1200 were windows that you ordered incorrectly and and were not the windows ordered according to the contract, so yes, I required the correct windows be installed."
"It went very well! His crew is very good and they have the machinery for anything. They ripped my old driveway out in seconds! When they were done I was very surprised with their work. I highly recommend them !"
"Samuel Ornelas is an outstanding handyman. He is highly reliable, consistently delivering exceptional quality work. His dependability is unmatchedâ always showing up as promised and completing projects on time. Whether tackling small fixes or larger tasks, Samuelâ s professionalism and attention to detail truly set him apart. Highly recommended!"
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.
Whether you’re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you’re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you’ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means your home build will take longer, as it’s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.
Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.
Masonry is an umbrella term that involves adhering individual building materials together using an adhesive, so many different things are considered masonry. These include constructing stone or brick walls or facades, installing stucco siding, installing backsplashes or tile floors, and even installing glass block windows, in some cases. Masonry materials include natural stone, clay bricks, concrete bricks, glass blocks, and tiles.
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.
