"They brought a big crew of 8 and installed piers to level my house. It only took one day! I watched them work and admired their teamwork and unselfish approach. I wound up speaking with almost all of them at some point and they all showed respect and genuine interest in my questions or concerns. Glad I hired them!"

"Excellent experience! My wife and I recently bought our home and immediately started renovating. We tore out the carpet and noticed some cracks in the slab foundation. Nothing appeared to be a big issue, but since the floors were already exposed, we figured it would be a good idea to get things checked out. We started with another company (for whom I’m currently contemplating writing a BAD review). They said we needed at bear minimum $13,000 worth of work done. The inspectors story didn’t add up and my wife and I had a very bad feeling that they were trying to sell us on something we didn’t need. Hence our call to Foundation Recovery Systems. We needed a second opinion. Ed Macdonald came out to inspect for us. Right off the bat, he seemed to know his stuff and seemed to actually care. I explained our concerns as well as our prior experience, and he assured we would get to the bottom of this. Long story short, whether it was lack of training or just blatant dishonesty, he found that what was recommended by the other inspector was complete bogus. Ed gave us suggestions on things to monitor over the next few years and how to spot signs of settling, but his sole recommendation for any foundation support work was only if we wanted precautionary measures taken for our piece of mind. With free inspections, I am always skeptical that contractors will always find something wrong. Or else, how would they make any money? But Ed proved to be an honest guy as well as a representative of an honest company. Whenever or if ever anything goes wrong with our foundation, Ed will be the first person we call!"

"Big shout out to Dil and Cruise for doing a splendid job . They were very courteous, patient enough to listen to my concerns and very friendly. The Job was to lift the concrete and seal the joint and cracks . Time will tell how well the seal will hold especially with colorodo weather but so far happy the result. Thank you Trasher."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

On average, a quality exterior brick stain can last between 10 and 20 years, and sometimes even longer. While it will look its best for a minimum of three to five years, its total lifespan depends on several factors. These include the quality and type of stain used, the condition of the brick, and the thoroughness of the surface preparation, such as proper cleaning. Following the manufacturer's application instructions and applying a sealant as a final step is also crucial. The stain's longevity can be affected by your location, climate, and the brick's exposure to harsh weather, high traffic, and other elements. Over time, the stain may begin to fade or look dingy due to weathering, erosion, dirt, and debris. Compared to paint, brick stain generally has a longer lifespan.

Natural stone is formed in deep layers of the Earth through natural processes over thousands of years. The solid composition formations become massive rock beds, or quarries, from which miners extract them.

Europe is a continent made of many individual countries with a history of city life. In these cities, dirt roads were unsanitary and often shifted. The Ancient Romans started laying cobblestone streets in the 3rd century, which became an iconic feature of European cities. The durable and practical paving material proved to be extremely weather-resistant.

Yes. Black stains are more than an eyesore. Some black stains can pose health concerns, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Some stains can also damage the brick’s structural integrity, harming the mortar and resulting in more expensive repairs.

In some cases, black stains on brick are caused by organic substances like algae and mold. However, it's more likely that the black spots you're noticing on your bricks come from carbon from vehicle exhaust or soot. Black stains can usually be removed by scrubbing the brick with a brush and masonry cleaner or power washing.
