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!"

"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

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.

Yes, you can use a mixture of 1 tablespoon of bleach and a gallon of warm water to clean stubborn stains from brick. Do not use bleach without diluting it in water. Undiluted bleach may cause discoloration. You can use either Oxygen bleach such as OxiClean or chlorine bleach. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling bleach.

Landscape boulders, especially porous stones like sandstone or granite, can crack or break over time. Cracks occur when water seeps into the surface of the stone and freezes. The risk is highest when it rains during the day and temperatures freeze overnight since the moisture has time to penetrate deeper into the rock before expanding.

You can use a regular drill to make pilot holes for gutter brackets in the wooden fascia board around the top of your house, but it’s not the best tool for brick. Instead, you’ll need a heavy-duty power tool like a hammer drill with a carbide tip bit.

Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.

Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.
