"Kyle Hodges and his team did a great job removing old landscaping and preparing the space for new planting. They also repaired our brick front steps and porch, and installed new path lights to replace old, failing lighting. Kyle is easy to communicate with, and offered a lot of good ideas. We liked his design for new landscaping, and we look forward to moving ahead with the planting in the spring."

"We needed our brick front walk repaired. We did some research and also asked neighbors for referrals and got two. The first contractor wanted to replace our entire brick steps and walkway with flagstone (expensive!). The second contractor was Brothers Pavers and Jose said he could repair only the part that needed fixing. He provided a quote (very reasonable) within a day and started work the following week. We were in a time crunch and Jose was able to work us in. Amazing!! It took two days to do the repair and each day the work area was cleaned. Once the mortar was cured, they came back and power washed the steps and walkway - it looked brand new! We highly recommend this company. Jose and the team were excellent to work with."

"After receiving 3 estimates to have a 14 year old deck replaced we decided to go with Freedom Fence & Deck, my husband and I are so glad we did. Dan was very knowledgeable and professional; he was so helpful explaining the best product to use for our new deck. We received an estimate to tear the old deck down and replaced the new deck before Dan left our home. Dan & Candy, the office manager, followed up with the permits & our HOA requirements. The approximate period of time to get the deck started and to finish were as agreed on our contract. The crew, Whitey & Cody was very knowledgeable & hard working, great workmanship from start to finish. The deck was completed in a very reasonable time during very hot weather. They both were very personable & answered all our questions. Whitey & Cody cleaned up the work area everyday and made sure we were comfortable with the progress made on the job each day. We cannot thank you enough for your excellent service. The deck is a prime example of your hard work and dedication. We are looking forward to enjoying our deck for many years."

"I am very pleased with my experience with JES and their repair of the foundation on my home. Rafael Garcia and Kevin Alfaro walked me through everything that was being done as the work progressed and showed me the what was done as they progressed. Along with Armando Aguilar, they were prompt and worked efficiently. I would recommend them to anyone with foundation concerns."

"The concrete patio was removed, along with the fence all around it. The foundations were exposed. A 7-foot crack was found on one end of the back corner wall of the house, and a smaller one on the end other end. The corner walls were reinforced at each end and underpinnings in between both ends were used to provide more support.  Inside the house, the floor of the family room downstairs was excavated all along the length of the house, on a width of about 2 feet (?).  Gravel was used to fill in the holed-out area to ensure better water filtration, and when everything was done a layer of concrete was poured to restore the floor to a point where I could have it refinished.
It was messy, dusty, noisy, lengthy, and costly.  To make matters worse, by the time my home equity loan came through, it was early January. The work started on the Monday in January that would bring us the 2016 blizzard. Needless to say, this slowed down the work since workers could not even gain access to my house for many days. When it was time to pour the concrete on the floor in the family room, that was also delayed because of the weather. The cement company cannot mix the concrete when the temperature is too low.
AA Action Waterproofing provides the services of a structural engineer, but they contract out the work of digging out and making repairs, with the engineer overseeing the work.
I cannot speak highly enough of the guys who worked in my house for about a month.  They dealt with rain, snow, severe cold, difficult access -- my house is built on a slope, and there was no way to bring a truck right where the construction debris was generated.  They showed up for work when they were supposed to and worked really hard.  They were always very polite and friendly.
Fortunately, everything that they removed was old, and I was planning to take out a home equity loan to redo the patio and the family room in the spring anyway.  I would have been devastated if that part of the house had already been upgraded. Of course, I can't do as much home improvement as I wanted to since $25,000 went to AA Action Waterproofing. But at least I am reassured that my house will not collapse! From what the engineer said, my house had not reached the point where I had to act ASAP. But I had to do something if I didn't want my house to become worthless. Apparently, with these problems, the deterioration is very gradual. Then you get a tipping point, and damage occurs very quickly.
There could have been better communication between the structural engineer and myself. I did not realize the extent of the "damage" that would be done inside. Also, I did not mind losing access to my TV (I have one upstairs), but I hit the roof when I came home one day and did not have internet access.  I work from home twice a week, and often put in some work in the evening or early morning in addition to putting in a full day at work. I was furious, and, frankly, not nice at all.  What matters, however, is how the company and the workers reacted when they got my screaming phone calls in the evening. They apologized and told me they would restore internet access to me every evening at the end of the day, if they needed to disconnect it.  They also told me when I would not have access during the day, ahead of time, and for hour long, so that I could plan to go to work instead or go to Starbucks/the library.  Writing this, I feel bad that I was so nasty to them.  They were true to their word, and I have a lot of respect for them.
Currently, I am in the process of having the family room repaired/remodeled extensively. It is also messy, dusty, not so much noisy, but definitely costly too. And UNBELIEVABLY LENGTHY.  I am dealing with a provider who is much, much less responsive than AA ActionWaterproofing and its contractors were.  They worked hard to get the job done well.  My current provider drags the process on and on and on and on.
Still, I hope I never, ever need the services of AA ActionWaterproofing! I can think of other ways to spend my money.  But I would definitely recommend the company to someone who would need the same services as I did.

"Wow! These guys gave a quote that was inline with the other venders except they also brought a sense of professionalism and some great ideas. The saved me money by paving over an already existing concrete slab and removed parts of the slab that was broken. The trenched a couple areas and put in underground plumbing (rain gutter and sump pump runoff). They worked in a very tight and difficult area (no wheel borrows) and put in beautiful Blue pavers. They also put in a cedar screen to hide our garbage can and a pop up drain for the runoff. They did this job very quick (less than two weeks from the initial visit and within budget. They also came back quickly to fix any complaints. We are very happy with the end result and would hire them again. We wished we did this much sooner. They made an ignored backyard into something we enjoy using.

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Not all cracks in brick indicate foundation problems. For instance, small hairline cracks can occur as a new construction settles. However, larger cracks are often a sign of a more severe issue. Indicators of a potential foundation problem include long horizontal cracks, "stair-step" cracks, vertical cracks that appear indoors, or any crack that widens at the top. Other signs of structural damage to look for are uneven floors and doors or windows that stick. These issues could be caused by problems with the soil beneath the home or an overgrown tree.

Yes, it is normal to see some minor hairline cracks in brick or mortar over time, often due to natural foundation settling. However, not all cracks are harmless. You should be concerned and contact a masonry professional for an inspection if you notice cracks that are getting wider or longer, or if new ones keep appearing. Other serious warning signs that can indicate significant structural or foundation damage include large vertical cracks (especially those that widen as they go up), stair-step cracks, L-shaped cracks, and deep horizontal cracks. Factors like temperature changes, moisture, and structural loading can also cause cracks to form or worsen.

Landscape boulders, especially porous stones like sandstone or granite, can crack or break over time. Cracks occur when water seeps into the surface of the stone and freezes. The risk is highest when it rains during the day and temperatures freeze overnight since the moisture has time to penetrate deeper into the rock before expanding.

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.
