"I contracted DeGain Masonry to do a paver patio in my back yard. The finished project turned out better than I could have ever expected… very precise and meticulous. Clint was quick to return my calls, started and finished the project when promised and was more than accommodating in every way. I am a particular customer with high expectations of those I hire. That being said, I would highly recommend DeGain Masonry."

"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."

"I recently purchased a modular home and wanted an insepction to help lower my heating bill. Steve went through the whole place and recomended painting the ceilings with NASA created INVISAFLECTS. Cody and Greg did an awesome job and was very respectful to a single lady like myself and were careful of my belongings, as I have many glass antiques I have inherited from my mother. They have also offered to help me with my skirting around my modular home this summer to help with the insulating of my home. I also needed some plumbing work done and Steve sat with me and went over the estimate that I received to make sure I was not getting taken advantage of which I was not. They have been a great help througout this whole project."

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. 

The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3 each.

Choosing the right paint color for your brick house can be a daunting task. A great strategy is to find painted brick houses that you like and try to replicate the look by researching their colors or asking the homeowners for the specific paint color code.

If you're looking for specific ideas, several colors work well on brick. Different shades of white, such as off-white or cream-white, can create a modern, timeless, and classic look that is unlikely to go out of style. For a more contemporary aesthetic, you might consider a matte black tone. Other popular choices include gray, blue, and sage green.

Professionally done brick repointing can last 20 to 30 years, sometimes longer. However, the exact lifespan depends on several factors, including the quality of the mortar, the skill of the mason, and exposure to weather. If you live in an area with harsh weather or frequent freeze-thaw cycles, you may need to repoint more often. Repointing that is done as a DIY project may only last 10 to 15 years. It's time to repoint when you notice signs of mortar failure, such as crumbling or missing mortar, holes, or vines growing between the bricks. Regular inspections can help you catch these issues early.

You can use adhesive strips to hang lights on brick—just make sure you get outdoor mounting tape and not just any old double-sided tape for your project.
