"I contacted The Crack Team for foundation wall crack waterproofing after finding water near our utility lines and basement corner. They arrived on time, answered all my questions, and did clean work. What impressed me most was how respectful and honest the crew was throughout the whole process. The leaking stopped completely and the area looks great now."

"Gary Lustig is the owner of Atlantic Coast Waterproofing, Inc.  When he came to our house to inspect our basement and give us a quote for the repairs, he was very thorough in educating us on the cause of the leaks in our walls. It was a problem we had been battling for the last ten years.  His approach to the problem made sense to us. He quoted us a price to do the job and did not at any time add to his original quote.  He pulled a permit with the City of Troy and his work passed all inspections the first time--both during the process and at the completion.  He was ready to start the work on the date we had agreed upon and then graciously allowed us two additional days to prepare the basement since we weren't ready before he started our job. Gary was always willing to explain to us exactly what they were doing and why and always asked if we had any questions about the project. He finished the project on time! His workmen were polite and hardworking. At our house, because there are no windows that open in the basement, only glass block windows, Gary and his workers had to hand carry up the stairs endless buckets filled with cement chunks that had been excavated along the entire perimeter of the basement of our large ranch house to make a trench so that the Aqua-Flow Floor System could be installed.  Then, once it was installed, they mixed concrete and hand carried buckets of wet cement down to the basement to fill in the trench.  The cement finisher did a perfect job of joining the new cement to the rest of the basement floor. Gary and his workers did a great job of cleaning up every day leaving as little a mess as possible. One of his workers broke a hinge on our basement door as he was removing it to allow easier access to the basement, and he personally purchased a new hinge and installed it.  We were very impressed with his honesty.  We felt we were being given a fair price when we signed the contract with Atlantic Coast, but after seeing how hard everyone worked breaking up cement and carrying buckets of cement up and down the stairs, we thought the pricing seemed like a true bargain. This was not a job that we could ever have done ourselves. The best part of this whole project though is the fact that the leaks are now contained and in the especially rainy weeks we have had since completion of the job, the floor has been perfectly dry. We no longer cringe when storms come and wonder how much water we will have to mop up. We have recommended Atlantic Coast Waterproofing to others and will continue to do so.

"Absolutely excellent service! After noticing that water was coming into my chimney when it rained, I started seeking inspections and estimates to figure out the scope of the problem. Pisani Contracting was the only one that offered a range of work options, rather than only the most drastic and expensive one, and while I did opt in the end to have the chimney rebuilt rather than patched, the offer was much appreciated. Despite the crazy conditions of late 2021, between weather delays due to rain, material shortages, and a packed schedule of work, Greg and his crew managed to fit the repair in and completed it in just two days. The whole team was very professional, and on top of the chimney work, they even touched up a few spots of masonry around the exterior of the house! The final product looks amazing, and it completely fixed the issues I was having. I would recommend Pisani Contracting to anyone looking to get an estimate on work done, and should I need any further repairs at my house, I will give them a call first thing. Just make sure you call from a Michigan number: having moved from out of state, the cell phone I use for most calls does not have a Michigan area code, and every time I called trying to schedule an estimate, the call went to voice mail; it was only when I called from my work number, which does have a Michigan area code, that I was able to get through to set things up. I'm glad I did, though, since I'm extremely pleased with the work done!"

"Project leader - Art - was great to work with. Everyone associated with the project was low pressure and lived up to their commitments. 3 man crew show up on time, got done early, and cleaned up area before leaving. Only drawback was pricing but quality of the project helped offset higher cost."

"Paul and his crew did a great job replacing my driveway. The communication was outstanding, very attentive to detail, kept my yard tidy throughout the time they were working and did a thorough clean up once finished. I would highly recommend AP construction and concrete."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.

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.

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, staining a brick home can increase a home’s value, assuming your pro does a good job and you keep up with maintenance tasks. Staining brick is a much better way to increase a home’s value than painting brick, as the latter can cause chipping, warping, and bubbling. Brick stain, on the other hand, gets absorbed by the surface, so it can still breathe. 

Yes, depending on the type of pavers you have, you may need a specific type of sealant. For example, concrete pavers will bond differently than clay pavers or faux stone pavers and will demand a different type of sealer. If you’re unsure of the material and what type of sealant you need, you can contact the company that laid your pavers down for you.
