And yes they had to work at , running a smaller cutter . Then they went up in size to the large one , granted it took some time . But it was done in 45 minutes give or take. He shows up by himself worked at it for about 5 minutes started having problems I get all the others have had causing some help I thought they were just loading up the machine apparently never got through this to the center line gave up on it immediately and wanted to get paid which I did. Never even tried to run it back and forth like MasterRooter just poor work. manship and attitude. At 265 for the first 30 minutes, one person and then just give up in the first 10 minutes. Master policy is 225 for as long as the job takes and if they can not get it they charge you $100 and of course they got it . Did four runs to the main . They never even pulled out a root "

Let�s make your basement or Crawl space dry, We have been servicing Illinois since 1979 and pride ourselves on the quality of work that we provide to our homeowners.

"My basement has always leaked and was never dry. I called Donnie Felton, who was highly recommended by a few friends, he was very knowledgeable and explained exactly what he would do step by step. He showed up the following week and completed the job in two days. My basement is now dry and does not see a drop of water even during the heaviest rain. I love not seeing any water in my basement. I would highly recommend Donnie Felton."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Stone can last anywhere from 15 to 100 years before it needs to be restored. You should clean your stone flooring or countertops regularly using cleaners designed for stone surfaces. Stay on top of vacuuming to prevent scratches from deteriorating stone faster, deep clean your stone surfaces using a pH-neutral cleaning solution at least once a year, and reseal the stone every one to five years, depending on foot traffic or usage.

Choosing the right paint color for a major investment like painting the exterior brick on your house can be a daunting task. Perhaps the most important thing is to find painted brick houses that you like and replicate the look by researching their colors and asking the homeowners for the paint color code. If all else fails, white-painted brick is a timeless, classic look that is unlikely to go out of style.

Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.

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.

If you’re attempting to mix and pour your own mortar, expect to pay between $5 to $10 for an 80-pound bag of mix. The cost to repair mortar, however, can range from $300 to $500 for a 20-square-foot wall. The larger the area and the more extensive the repair, the higher the cost.
