"Excellent, was on time and perfect. Brad and his team (sorry, forgot his name) were even able to lift the concrete wall and it was done perfectly. They even caulked around the entire area, cleaned it out etc. Used hydraulic lift to lift it and then put the foundation repair compound. THank you."

"Hired Florida Crete to build a 28x40 building foundation with stem wall at 12" to 36" over 40' run. Mr Diaz and his crew are probably the most hard working men I have ever hired for a project. They were all about contructing to my satisfaction. The completed project was perfectly square. Thanks again to Florida Crete for a very well done job. 5 STARS"

"We loved the beautiful job LAS did removing old bushes and re landscaping the front yard. They were reliable, polite, no hidden costs, and economical. They built a beautiful stone wall and filled it in with beautiful rock stones and plants. We would definitely use them again and highly recommend."

"Ruddy and his team anre absolutely fantastic. I first use them on my personal home in 2024 to install close to 400 linear feet of white PVC vinyl fence. I work in construction and also operate a dog training and boarding facility so a fence is a crucial part of the infrastructure of my home. He really paid attention to detail, making sure that the gate swung in the direction that I wanted for both 10 foot gates and a 5 foot gate on each side of my property, bracketing my funds post into the wall of my structure per my request, and overall just making sure that I was happy with the work as it progressed A few months later, I had an escape artist dog that was added into my care and needed a little more than just the traditional fence, so Rudy came back and helped me install an electric fence going above and beyond to make sure he knew how the collars operated and giving me a tutorial to adjust things as needed and has returned over the past year and change as dogs damage items. 10/10"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

Real stone is exactly what it sounds like: It’s real stone sourced from the earth without additives. It is durable and unique, but it’s difficult to work with because of its weight, challenge in sourcing, and high cost. Stone veneer mimics the look of real stone but is actually engineered with a mixture of Portland cement, natural minerals, and a colorant. While it’s more affordable and easier to work with, it’s less durable and may appear manufactured to the trained eye.

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.

When painting brick, each application method has distinct advantages and disadvantages. Spraying is significantly faster but may not penetrate deeply beyond the surface layer. Rolling is effective for working paint into the brick's texture but can be less effective on mortar joints. If you opt for a roller, choose a thick nap of at least a half-inch to ensure paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage. Using a brush is generally not recommended as it is very time-consuming and provides poor surface penetration. Ultimately, a combination of spraying followed by back-rolling is often the best strategy for a durable and even finish.

Unless you’ve worked in the masonry industry before, it is in your best interest if you hire a pro for any masonry needs. Masonry-related jobs require a high skill level and can be extremely time-consuming. If anything goes wrong, a licensed and insured masonry contractor would be able to take care of the subsequent repairs, giving you additional peace of mind.
