"Great communication, great hands-on repair of our block retaining wall, he walked us through his plan on what and how he planned the project to go and was always open to our ideas/questions. The crew was always respectful and when he saw a couple related drainage problems, he brought them to our attention and took on personally repairing those problems. We so trust the skill/workmanship of this company that we have another project in 2020 that we know we want to hire them for. Great job GTO Masonry!"
"Evan is honest and reasonable. He did quality work and communication was outstanding thru out the project. We will definitely use inspired Timber and Stone in the future as well!! Highly recommend"
"Great price for the work, had some concrete slabs of a 38 year old multi-slab patio leveled. very happy with the results to remove trip hazards and return proper slop for rain runoff. Hope that i wont need them again but will use them if I do and would recommend to anyone."
"We give Francisco our highest recommendations to anyone looking for quality work, excellent communication, and honesty and integrity in all aspects. Francisco has done several big projects for us, including a bath remodel, deck rebuild, and pouring a concrete patio, and we are always highly satisfied customers!"
"Everdry Waterproofing literally saved our house. We discovered mold and water leakage, plus the footer was starting to sink at one corner. I love the all-encompassing waterproofing system Everdry uses: they fixed the holes in the 100 year-old masonry, dug the drainage trenches, and put everything back the way I wanted it. I can rest at night knowing that the our foundation is restored and my personal items stored in the basement are mold free and dry. I actually can use the space as an office now, it's that comfortable. Less bugs, no more mice, no more mold!!! MF Goshen, IN"
"Erie Homes was great. Ty and Chris shared the information about roofs in a clear and precise way. I love the high quality of the roofing materials and the standards they hold their workers to when placing the roof. Mike called me each step of the way, so I was prepared when the roofing supplies showed up. I even got calls after the beautiful roof was done. Amazing job!"
This is largely dependent on the size and hardness of the rock, but a range of tools might work, including hammers, chisels, rock hammers, sledge hammers, and more. You'll need a jackhammer for the very biggest rock-breaking jobs.
Modern brick homes have a brick facade over standard framing and sheathing, so the brick offers minimal added structural stability. A home with traditional brick construction is more durable than a stick-built home, as the double-layer brick walls and rebar resist higher lateral wind loads and support heavier loads up top, as well.
Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead.
Common causes include weather exposure, moisture, and settling. Regular maintenance prevents significant damage.
No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause.
