Our project included a mix of tile types - large format natural stone on the floor and some walls and smaller glass tiles on one wall. Randy did a nice job with both types. The glass tile was installed in a stacked bond pattern, which is pretty unforgiving if there are alignment issues. While not 100% perfect, the tile was installed about as good as could be expected based on my existing wall framing so I have to give Randy an A for this installation. The only quibble I have with the stone wall tile on the other walls is that there are inconsistencies with the pattern. For this tile, I requested a running bond, which is the alternating joint pattern seen in a typical brick wall. In our installation, there are 4 locations on one wall where you would expect to see a joint, based on the pattern, but no joint is present. These were all in short runs where continuing the pattern would have required a tile to be cut into two pieces. The installer chose to install a single piece rather than make the cut, either in error or to save time. On another wall with the same tile, the joints are offset in a consistent pattern but that pattern isn't the same as the wall with the running bond pattern. 99 percent of people looking at these walls will not notice these errors but, still, they are there. I didn't notice these issues until quite some time after the work was finished. If you use R & K, I am sure you will be pleased with the results. But watch the work as it progresses, like you should with anyone performing work in your home, and request corrections along the way. Had I paid closer attention, I'm sure I could give R & K a PERFECT review. Despite these issues, and a B on Quality (there's no A- or B+ option) I'm still giving them an overall grade of A for this project. In fact, I'll be contacting them shortly to request a quote for floor tile installation throughout the whole house.

We received and email response the same day and a phone call from their estimator Kelly the following day. Kelly scheduled a time for us to meet which worked with our schedule. He called to say he was running 30 minutes late which we appreciated. When Kelly arrived he listened to our issues and asked us several follow up questions. After taking several photographs and measurements he took a walk around the house and pointed out a few areas where our stucco was beginning to buckle due to water intrusion. We did not know this was even a problem. The next day we received a detailed proposal outlining the repairs; in the case of the driveway and patio the broken corners were removed and a form was placed on the ground after a compacting machine was used. New concrete was poured and the finish touched up with a broom to match the existing concrete. In the case of the pool deck a expanding foam compound was jetted under the deck which expanded slowly causing the settling to be rectified. The settlement crack was then touched up with a sort of slurry past which made it almost invisible. The cracked wall stucco was chipped away and new stucco was applied. The workers wore uniforms, their trucks were clean, they laid down plastic in each area where they worked, each one seemed to have a specific job and they went about their business in a workmanlike manner. I was surprised how fast they completed the repairs and was impressed by their efficiency. I recommend this company to anyone who needs concrete or stucco repairs.

He provided suggestions on how to accomplish what we wanted. I advised him that we wanted to do an additional walkway, but weren't sure of the cost. He said he wold break the quote down by each item so we could pick and choose what was within our budget. We received the first quote and we were pleasantly surprised, so we asked him to add a few more things (two more retaining walls and an additional walkway going from the driveway to the side yard. Even after all these additions, his price was very, very reasonable. (I only wish he had suggested we re-do our stamped concrete patio at the same time!) He submitted all the correct paperwork to the city and was very patient when the city decided to change the operating system it uses for permits. We finally began installing pavers on August 4 and they were finished in two to three days. The men who did the install are artisans. They did a fantastic job with the pavers and the retaining walls. Frank does an amazing job. He knows how the process works and he makes it work flawlessly. He always let us know how things were progressing and if there were any issues. (The only issue we had was that one of the sprinker lines was damaged while digging up the concrete. Frank sent someone the next day to fix it.) He does what he says he's going to do and that is very, very rare. I have a few more areas that need to be paved and the only person I will be calling is Frank Baisi.

Concrete Wall Construction reviews from real Angi homeowners in Pompano Beach, FL
Horrible, hired them to replace concrete that holds pavers in place, they did a horrible job and then threw all the old concrete under our palm plant. I paid them in full because it was after dark when they finished and I couldn’t see the awful job they had done. This was done on November 25...

Concrete Walls questions, answered by experts
Brick walls are typically more expensive than concrete walls due to higher material and labor costs. Brick wall costs can range from $10 to $45 per square foot, plus $70 to $110 per hour for labor. Meanwhile, concrete block walls usually cost $10 to $20 per square foot, depending on the material type. Labor for concrete tends to be less intensive and costly. Ultimately, concrete is often the more affordable choice, especially for larger projects.
Yes, you can pour the footings for your foundation and the foundation system itself together, in which case the footing acts as the foundation. Some common examples of foundations where you might pour the footings simultaneously include floating slab foundations and monolithic slab foundations. Both lack traditional footings underneath the slab, so these foundation types are considered footings.
Installation typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the wall’s size and site conditions.
The actual moisture level that is acceptable for your concrete floor depends on what primer or flooring material you plan to install above it. For this reason, you should check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact details.
Generally, the moisture levels should be 3.5% to 4.5%, although it does vary. Some products can handle higher levels of moisture, so you should always test your concrete before purchasing your flooring materials.
Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
