"I couldn't be happier with the work AP Construction & Concrete provided. From start to finish, the team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. They took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and delivered results that exceeded my expectations. The craftsmanship was top-tier?my new patio looks flawless and has already received compliments from neighbors and visitors. They kept the worksite clean, communicated clearly throughout the process, and finished the job on time and within budget. It's rare to find a company that combines quality, honesty, and excellent customer service so well. Highly recommend to anyone looking for concrete work done right the first time!"

"Good communication, professional, courteous and clean up was thorough. We waited a few months before doing a rating to experience a few heavy rains. We are extremely happy with having a dry usable basement. We usually don't do ratings but All Ways Dry exceeded our expectations!"

"Overall, Gary and his team were really excellent.  Gary provided us with a quote in November 2015 with the expectation to complete the project in spring 2016.  When the snow started to melt, we setup a date for the work to begin.  Gary did not deviate from the project timing and his communication leading up to and during the project was A+.  

Total project time was 5 days.  This was a big job that required excavating a large amount of clay, all by hand with no mechanical equipment because of the way our home is situated next to our neighbor's driveway.  Prior to starting the excavation, the crew did an excellent job placing boards on my lawn and a small portion of the neighbor's driveway (pavers) which resulted in no damage to both grass and driveway.  I truly appreciated how conscientious Gary and his crew were during the entire week to ensure that the excavation did not have any lasting impact to the surrounding area.   Every day, Gary kept me posted on his progress and on the 2 occasions I did meet with him, he provided me a rundown of the process, next steps and answered all of my numerous questions.  Gary also had a permit pulled for the work and it was inspected by West Bloomfield Township during and after project completion (passed).  Gary and his team also did a few extras including; removing large slabs of concrete left by the original builder which could have adversely impacted the new drainage system, fixing my garden hose and sealing a sub surface downspout leak.  This in addition to doing an amazing cleanup job, highlighted by carefully sweeping and washing down my neighbor's driveway of any residual dirt.  

In the end, we had no mishaps or unexpected issues and work was completed on time and at the agreed upon cost.  Having done some research on the most effective way to waterproof a basement, I believe that Atlantic Coast's methods appear to be in line with best industry practices.  Atlantic provides a lifetime guarantee on their work, and I am confident that should we ever have any issue (based on the work, we do not expect any), we are confident that Gary will stand by his work and word and correct the issue.  I hope that I never have to use Atlantic Coast's services again, but if I do have any type of waterproofing issue, I will be sure to contact Atlantic Coast first!

"Elon inspected my foundation to determine what walls were holding water. He took measurements and took time to share a video of the repair he was recommending. I will have four anchors installed on the problem wall at a very fair price."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

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. 

Spalling brick is not uncommon, but it does indicate a serious issue. It can be caused by water damage, an intense freeze-thaw cycle, or something else. Painted bricks can be susceptible to spalling, as the paint doesn’t allow the porous material of the brick to breathe, which can trap moisture. Spalling should always be addressed immediately before more serious structural damage occurs.

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.

Yes, as long as the cut is clean and the brick remains structurally sound, you can reuse it. Reusing brick is especially common for landscaping, edging, and small masonry repairs. Just make sure to file down any sharp edges before handling or installing it.

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.
