Customers say: Quality work

"1). I contacted a lot of Angie's list cement contractors to replace our old sidewalk and got bids from a half a dozen different contractors. Tony the owner of Form and Pour provided a timely free quote. His bid was a lot lower than most of the other bids. 2). He had very good references 3). Additionally he was willing to re-do my landscaping (remove old plants, raise the grade, plant my new plants and haul in new rock at a very low additional price 4). After selecting him to do job, he committed to starting the job in about (3) weeks. He actually was able to start and complete the work ahead of that time! 5). Tony and his additional (2) man team were very professional! It was very obvious that they knew what they were doing. They had the old sidewalk out within a couple of hours and were pouring the first of the new sidewalk on the 2nd day and the remainder on the 3rd day. 6). They had the knowledge, ability, work ethic and great equipment that all worked together to get a great job done. 7). We are very pleased with our new great curb appeal (see pictures). 8). Tony is the best contractor that we have ever dealt with for any home improvement!"

"During his free inspection and estimate, Ian took the time to enlighten us about wood foundations and the problems he saw, one of which we'd ovelooked. During the repairs, Shane and Dominick were equally generous with explanations, and ended each day with a summary of work done and plans for the following day. All were very pleasant to deal with, and made the whole experience as painless as possible. Our county inspector, looking at the work on the problem Ian spotted, said it was lucky we caught it when we did, and assured us we were in good hands. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and highly recommend this company."

"They were really good. Ran into some problems: ancient retaining wall found buried behind collapsing wall, and they removed that as part of the "unknowns" they encountered, didn't charge extra for that. Did the job in two days, as per estimate. Very friendly, no secrets type of folks, hard workers."

"Our project was actually a crawlspace encapsulation. We have a lake cabin that was built in the 1960's. It had a dirt floor in the crawlspace with bare block masonry foundation walls. It also had old, damp batt insulation that was falling down from the joist spaces. American Waterworks came in, removed the old insulation (a nasty job!), laid down a 2 layer moisture barrier system and spray foamed the foundation walls and rim joist area. I can't believe what a difference this has made to our air quality, much warmer floors. We used to have to wipe down the windows every morning during the winter because of condensation. Not any more! I would highly recommend this company if you have the same needs!!"

"Aurora was fantastic to work with for our patio expansion. Our rep that came out for measurements and estimates answered all our questions and explained the whole process thoroughly so we knew what to expect. When they came to pour the concrete the process went as smooth as it could go and we are loving using it! Would highly recommend and use again."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.

Yes, you can paint stone on the exterior of a house. It’s important to properly prep the stone by cleaning off dirt and debris. You’ll want to apply at least two coats of paint to get the most even and complete coverage. Any pinholes or missed spots, however small, can allow moisture to get into the masonry and potentially cause the paint to blister and peel from the stone.

Painted exterior brick does not usually need sealing. Brick is a porous material, so you don’t want to apply a sealant that could trap moisture inside the bricks and cause erosion and structural damage. The risk of moisture-induced damage after sealing is higher in colder climates where trapped moisture can expand if it freezes. On the other hand, it makes sense to seal really old brick or kitchen backsplashes, where moisture from cooking can weaken the brick.

Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top masonry contractor hiring tips is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.

The white stains you see on your bricks are likely efflorescence, which is salt and lime buildup. To remove efflorescence stains, simply brush them away with a stiff brush. For larger, more stubborn stains, scrub the stains with a water-detergent solution.
