"Mike and Kellie worked with us quickly as my original concrete guy stopped answering communications. They came quickly and completed the job without any issues and it looks GREAT. I highly recommend this company. This is an update for the job that was completed months ago. The project was replacement of some of the sections of a concrete pool surround and off the bat we knew matching the pebbled concrete would be difficult. It is now about 6 weeks and it is almost exactly the same as the original and I have other contractors out for other projects and all remarked at how professional and great the job was. I give the highest recommendation."

"I called JES Foundation Company for a free inspection of my crawl space. I was concerned about a crack in my foundation wall. JES inspector Richard Sheman Showed up to inspect my foundation. He sent a text with the time of his arrival. He was pleasant and on time. He went into my crawlspace and inspected the crack in the wall and stated I had nothing to worry about. He was very knowledgeable about the foundation and itâ  s structure. He explain to me how I could fix the superficial settling crack and save a bunch of money. I appreciate the honesty of the business and I would recommend it to anyone who had the same concerns, and for any of their other services. Ron P Home owner."

"We hired Tim Smith @ Shorescapes to install patio pavers of our back porch. He said it would take 3 days to complete the job. It took him 6 half days to complete the job. There was supposed to be a sitting wall on a 16 x 16 area and an insert for our BBQ but when he applied for a permit they only allowed 12 x 16. Which kind of altered the plans. The pattern in the pavers were just randomly put down with odd and uneven cuts. It should have been a three-paver pattern throughout the entire patio. When he was done I wasnt home. My wife had just gotten home when they finished and really didnt have a chance to check it all out but she paid him the remainder of the balance. When I got home and saw the job I said she should have withheld payment because a lot of the pavers were uneven, the cuts were shotty, and one paver actually hung over the edge randomly. The polymer they used didn't even penetrate the spaces between the pavers as he got the wrong king with large pebbles in it...as his helper put it down he was right behind him blowing the polymer all around. I called him to come back and they reset the blocks that were sinking and recut the uneven pavers. And he did. I'm not confident that the crush and run was sufficiently packed down because the pavers are shifting again. The BBq area looks like crap, the pavers under it are slanted forward and the design is not right. The wall portion looks so undone. We called a few other contractors in afterward to see if they could fix it. They were like "Who did this job?" it's not done right. The pattern isn't done right and the pavers aren't level. We are getting new estimates to fix his mistakes."

"They were quick to come to my home, discuss the project and provide an estimate. The work was completed timely as scheduled. The employees arrived promptly to complete the work, were polite and professional. We had a stamped concrete walkway done, and the final product looks great! I definitely recommend them!"

"Our basement walls are made of field stone and had lost a lot of the mortar. Lon explained our options and we chose to have the walls repairs, sealed with a vapor seal and concrete applied. The workers kept the route clean and made sure it was neat at the end of each day. The work was meticulous! The three person crew was polite and they did a great job!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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.

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.

Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.

A fireplace hearth is a fireproof flooring material that extends out from the base of the fireplace and into the room. Hearths can be made of brick, ceramic, marble, limestone, and more. A hearth serves the purpose of decreasing the fire risk in the area directly around the fireplace. If flying embers hit carpet or wood, they’ll spark and create a fire. But if they hit something like tile or granite, they’ll simply go out.

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.
