"It went well beyond my expectations. We went with pavers rather than concrete. Joe gave us a good estimate. He stuck to the budget and the timeline. The work Joe did for us is a work of art. Beautiful. Pavers cost more than concrete but worth every penny."
"I had a great experience with Low Cost Concrete! Terrance came in with the lowest bid by far, which initially concerned me, but he did a great job on my driveway extension, which also included tearing out and replacing a portion of the existing driveway. He was courteous, professional, and flexible with my scheduling needs, and my wife was complimentary about his crew, which was a bonus. We have had work crews at times in the past who were loud or who used "colorful" language, but she said that they were cheerful and respectful, and not disruptive. I will definitely use Terrance again if I have future concrete projects."
"Paver Pros Solutions seriously killed it with my patio! The whole process was super smooth. They were on time, super friendly, and really knew what they were doing. I told them what I was looking for, and they made it happen even better than I pictured."
"Alpha Foundations came out to my residence to raise/fill in the foundation on my front porch, back porch and cement decking around my pool. Dylan and Tory were very professional, as was Jake, who came out to do my estimate. They did their job efficiently and quickly. They also made sure to clean up after themselves. They answered any and all of my questions and went over all that they had done with me when they were done. I highly recommend them."
"Hired Roman to fix some wood rot for me
and he was able to handle the project within 24 hours of being contacted. Not only did he complete the project I gave him, but also went above and beyond and painted the new wood as well as caulked and sealed for no additional charge. Would not hesitate to use Roman again for any project big or small in the future!"
"From the Manager to the guys doing the "heavy hauling" at our job site, their process, personality, promptness, persistence and professionalism was amazing. They arrived as promised and finished the job as predicted. Our driveway/patio is a perfect "work of art" and our neighbors love it. And, if that is not enough words that start with P, I'll add an A-PLUS to the quality of their work."
"Excellent company and work crew. Rob was a great informative sales representative. Chris & Tom did an amazing job leveling and lifting out patio slabs. This really saved us over $20,000 from having to tear off our screen room and start all over from scratch! Took 4 hours to complete the process and was well worth the money. We highly recommend this company."
"Gulfcoast Land Design turned my small backyard into a peaceful meditation space They also added mulch to my front yard to enhance the curb appeal. Patrick listed to what I wanted, made great landscaping suggestions, did outstanding work, and provided great customer service. It was an outstanding experience. He completed the job on time and on budget. I highly recommend Gulfcoast Land Designs"
"Excellent stucco work by Knoe, the primary stucco worker. Got to job and stayed till complete. Must wait about 2weeks to apply Sherwin Williams Loxon primer/sealer after stucco application.. Returned in 2 weeks and job completed. Stucco work is very messy so critical that plastic covering over all brick and masonry areas. This needs to be re-evaluated every morning and reapplied as needed. This was their only shortcoming, but they did return and were able to remove the spots. One of the nicest companies Iâ ve worked with, from laborers to salesman and even ownership. Thoroughly happy with job and was happy to pay when completed! Neil F South Tampa, Fl"

Yes. Black stains are more than an eyesore. Some black stains can pose health concerns, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Some stains can also damage the brick’s structural integrity, harming the mortar and resulting in more expensive repairs.
Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.
The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To remove efflorescence stains, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.
