"They had to take out a portion of my front wall which was not planned on, and the conic quality of the concrete was not as good as I thought it should be they destroyed the brick wall that they said they would be able to save and I think they also damaged an additional plumbing line, which I’m going to have to have repaired But we did get the leaking stopped, which was the big part of the problem they had to dig up the entire front foundation down to the 8 foot footer and re-waterproof the wall put in a French drain system and a new drainage system for the gutter and a sump pump"

"William and Jaime discussed at great length the scope of the project before we decided to go with King. They provided different approaches to fix our leaking concrete block walled basement. While most other companies would not consider an outside repair solution, King offered to provide it after we decided that the cost of ripping apart our finished basement would be too expensive. We also wanted the concrete block wall to be fully waterproofed with tar, gravity drains the length of the foundation and an outer membrane to direct water down to the gravity drain. Most companies would not offer this type of solution and instead just want to do a one day sump pump drain system from the inside which we felt would not solve the dampness issue of the block foundation wall. We were shocked by the amount of manual labour required to dig up to 10 feet to the base of the foundation especially in areas where the backhoe could not access. No wonder most other companies would not go there. During the entire project, Jaime and William were leading the crew which was also very reassuring. We were also greatly impressed that they kept working exceptionally long hours even when some issues came up that required an extra 2-3 days of work. (they had to rebuild a section of the blockwall) They simply kept working until the entire job was done. We would definitely recommend King for foundation issues and drainage issues after our experience."

"James, Brandon, and Devon were courteous, professional, responsive, worked hard, and did a good job. I had wall anchors installed, and helical piers to brace my leaning chimney and one down-slope corner of my house. Also had separate crew, Logan, Noah, and Bernard, follow with waterproofing. They were similarly courteous, professional, responsive, worked hard, and did a good job. 3 days for part one, one day for part two. Hauled away debris, including excavated dirt, and cleaned up reasonably. Total cost almost $20k; with lifetime transferable warranty, 3-year service plan, and 0% one-year financing."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, concrete is significantly stronger than masonry, especially if the concrete pour includes reinforcements, like steel rebar. Concrete is a uniform material that can withstand compression, sheer force, and tensile force as long as it’s reinforced. Masonry involves the use of mortar or grout to connect individual building materials, like brick, stone, or tile. Mortar and grout are also reasonably strong and resist compression well, but they don’t come close to the strength of poured concrete.

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.

You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn’t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white.
