"Alpha foundations was amazing. Charles Tatem was outstanding at helping us find a way to fix our foundation issue and fitting our budget as well. We came up with multiple options together on how to raise the foundation and we booked. It only tool 2 weeks to get on their schedule. The day before they called to let us know when they'd be there and they were right on time. Mike Oliver and his team came out, they knew exactly what they were doing. They were very professional and organized. His team worked together like a fine oiled machine. I was very comfortable with Alpha foundations from start to finish."
"The project went great! Domonique was quick to respond with his estimate and it was fair. He did a great job communicating with me on schedule, showed up a little early, and he and his team were very professional. It was a small job, but I would not hesitate to use his company again on a larger concrete project. I highly recommend In & Out Concrete Construction LLC!!"
"It went very well! D & R concrete was very professional. They even assisted me with getting approval from my HOA. Once approval was given, they started the job immediately and finished in a timely manner. I would recommend that anybody that needs their services to choose D and R concrete. Their price was also very reasonable."
"I recently purchased a commercial building in need of some foundation repairs and was referred to Shore Up Foundation by a family friend. Chase, Adlai and their crew were professional, courteous and educated me throughout the correction and improvement process to resolve my issues. We ran into some unrelated foundation issues on my job, but I was impressed with the amount of experience and exceptional awareness they took to help quickly resolve the problem. I would highly recommend Shore Up; I appreciate the professionalism and time they took during this intensive repair."
"Yes, Reliable Tree Services got my job completed in two days. My only concern/problem his workers left their bottles that they finished drinking water, Gatorade, fountain soda laying around. No other problems. The job done was good."

Watch for crumbling or flaking bricks right next to newer mortar joints. This happens when previous repairs used modern cement on older, softer brick. You should also look for cracks returning in the exact same spots, which means the original structural problem remains unresolved. If you notice empty voids in the joints or cracking chimney caps, hire a professional to redo the masonry work on your Thomasville property correctly.

Start by checking with local building departments to see if your project requires a permit. If you live in the Thomasville historic district, you must secure a Certificate of Appropriateness before starting any exterior masonry work. Plan your project for the spring or fall to avoid extreme summer heat and winter freezes. Document your home's existing materials with photos to help local professionals match your historic brick perfectly.
Helpful?
Look for dark water stains, white powdery deposits, or crumbling mortar joints after heavy rain. You should also check for diagonal stair-step cracks or bulging brick walls, which indicate soil settlement. Inspect your chimney for missing mortar or interior water leaks. Since repointing lasts up to fifty years, schedule a professional evaluation for masonry work if your Thomasville home was built before the 1960s and lacks a recent repair history.
Helpful?
Build an inspection routine around the changing seasons in GA. In late winter, inspect your chimney and foundation for spalling after freezing temperatures. After heavy spring rains, check window sills and brick arches for water stains. During late summer, look for mortar shrinkage cracks on sun-exposed walls. Finally, examine your crawl space piers and foundation for settlement in late fall to identify any necessary masonry work before cold weather arrives.
Helpful?
You need masonry work when cracks follow a stair-step pattern along the mortar joints or when brick faces flake and pit. A different type of repair is necessary if cracks break directly through the bricks themselves, signaling structural movement. Water leaking around windows points to flashing issues, while interior wall cracks indicate foundation movement in the heavy clay soils found throughout GA. Contact a professional to assess any structural concerns.
