"Adam was a pleasure to work with. He drew up the plans himself and met with us before starting the project to make sure we were all on the same page. His workers were very efficient and thorough. The quality of work completed was exceptional and we couldn't be happier with our pavers/walkway. His team was very professional and clean. The project didn't drag out, they came in and worked every day until the project was complete. They also cleaned up after themselves every night so we didn't come home to a mess. We had three different companies come out and give us a quote for the same project and Adams price was competitive and the quality of work far exceeded our expectations. Save yourself the time and look no further for any hardscaping work you are looking to have done."
"The crew did an amazing job. the scope of the project was immense. we had a 150 ft driveway that was old concrete replaced with pavers and it was widened by 2ft on each side. it also had a turn around put at the end by the garage. they completely redid our entire yard front and back close to 3/4 of an acre. they put in an entire drainage system with catch drains as the house sat at the bottom of a small hill and all the water all ran under the house. the put in a three level front yard with a stone slab walk away. a very large brick mail box and a brick outdoor grill. completely redid the pool deck with pavers put down gas lines for the he grill the water heater. for the pool and jacuzzi. as well as to the den fireplace to convert it to gas if/when we wanted to. had a water float line put in the pool to maintain water level. they were always on time, professional and clean up was done daily. they said it was gonna take 6 or seven weeks and it took 9. Only because we kept adding things on not in the contract. they never balked or complained about it. and we're always friendly (except the owner Stephen) JUST KIDDING. I HIGHLY recommend them for any job large or small. you just may have to wait a little as they're in demand and the proof is in the exceptional work done."
"I'd highly recommend DeMilo Bros for anything concrete and paver related. From the start of my project to the end they were just a breath of fresh air. Great people, they clean up after themselves and definitely go the extra mile to make sure the job is done right! They did a fairly large paver patio for me, and I just assumed I'd have an 18"-24" drop to get to the yard I'd have to deal with. Turns out they had a sod cutter, took up the grass, graded it out 10+ feet, and put the sod back down for a very professional clean look. They even have an irrigation guy on staff who took care of moving heads and lines. Thank you, Bobby and crew, job well done!"
"crawlspace needed structural repairs to my wood framing and piers, an internal french drainage system to stop water intrusion, as well as installation of a 10mil floor liner to help keep moisture levels down. FD was EXTREMELY professional from my initial call and on-site appointment, to the guys doing the installation. I was kept informed throughout the entire process so there were no surprises. I HIGHLY recommend Foundation Doctor for any crawlspace work!"
"The whole experience was very professional and projects have been quality workmanship. We had a couple interruptions of the work due to family situations and they were very understanding and helped us every step of the way. All contractors were pleasant to work with and Jared's attention to detail was great!"
"Spencer and Ethan worked very well together. They were on time and each one proceeded to take care of their tasks without much communication between them. They had knowledge of the product and process that they were using to lift my two slabs and were efficient in their execution."
You should clean your home’s brick once per year. This applies to exterior brick, but also to cleaning brick fireplaces. Create a homemade cleaning solution with equal parts vinegar and water. Use a soft-bristle brush to scrub the solution into the face of your brick and remove dirt, algae, and stains. Cleaning will protect brick from damage and boost your home’s curb appeal.
You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.
Yes. Black stains are more than an eyesore. Some black stains can pose health concerns, especially for those with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions. Some stains can also damage the brick’s structural integrity, harming the mortar and resulting in more expensive repairs.
Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.
To stain brick, you should use a product specifically formulated for brick, concrete, or other masonry surfaces. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it. This is different from paint, which sits on the surface and is prone to peeling, flaking, and trapping moisture that can cause damage. Water-based brick stains are often recommended because they are easy to apply, even for DIYers, and they allow the brick to breathe. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere properly and can lead to future maintenance problems.
