John and Mike did a great job painting the walls in our living room, kitchen and 2 hallways. It wasn't an easy task. We have high ceilings and the 1 hall was tight to work in. John cleaned all the woodwork after painting as well as cleaning all the switch plates before putting them back on the walls. We would definitely use Masterpiece Painting again and recommend them for quality work. It was a 2 day job because of the area involved and it needed 2 coats of paint to cover the existing color on walls. They were running late the second day and did call to let us know.

Did not inspect tub after installation and we had to point out that water would run from the flat edge of the side of the tub onto the floor. It was determined the tub was defective and needed to be replaced. When the 2nd tub arrived, Suttons did not inspect. When they brought it to our house and opened the packing, they discovered it was broken. A 3rd had to be ordered. Now, we see small cracks inside that 3rd tub. Adhesive or caulking on edge of tub next to surround. The tub faucet inner parts have been replaced at least twice. Did not order back splash or toe kick for new vanity; so, we had wait on those. They threw away packaging and warranty material of installed items. We do not know how to fix or correct failing pieces. They should have left warranty, instructions, parts lists, and receipts with us. They did some things right. The rounded edges of the wall at the head of the tub looks very nice.

We called Clifford Doughterty Concrete and Cliff, the owner, was able to come within a day. We had a few questions about the removal of our old concrete porch and creating a more modern one along with a sidewalk. After we talked to him the first time we thought he was very honest and up front with what we needed and kept saying that we were the customers and he would do whatever we would like him too. We had Cliff come back a few days later after we decided what we wanted. Doughtery Concrete faxed us an estimate the next morning and said they had an opening and could start the next morning if we would like.Cliff and his crew showed up the next morning to start the demolition. Two of the guys, Shane and Joe, stayed with the project the entire time and did the majority of the work. Cliff was hands on for the project the majority of the time and was meticulous about every detail. If he was called away to another project he would still make frequent visits to make sure everything was being taken care of correctly. The project took 5 days. The temperature the week of the project was over 100 degrees, but no one complained. They were all very hard workers and very courteous. The men even worked on Saturday and July 4th to get the project finished on time. They also pulled out several evergreen bushes in front of our house and brought dirt in to fill the area back up. We believe Clifford Doughtery Concrete went above and beyond our expectations for this project. The estimate was right on the money which also makes us very happy. We are very pleased with their work and will definitely recommend they to anyone looking for concrete work. We love our new porch and sidewalk."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/springfield/cliff-dougherty-concrete-reviews-7412780.htm"},"position":10}]}

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.
Costs range from $5,000 to $15,000, depending on size, material, and design complexity.
Do some research before hiring a concrete contractor . Consider asking whether the contractor is insured, if they can provide references of past clients you can contact, and if this type of work requires a permit. Another potential question is how long they guarantee their work.
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.
Unfortunately, concrete cracks happen, so there’s no surefire way to avoid them long-term. To slow down the cracking, apply a sealant every two to three years and use sand rather than salt to melt snow or ice. Using salt speeds up the freeze-thaw cycle, which may increase the likelihood of cracking. Additionally, keep vehicles and heavy machinery off of your concrete, as the weight can lead to more cracking.
