FAR from Average Construction is a company that was designed to put the consumer first. My motto is I will not take on a job if I can not handle it. I am all for making the customer happy and making sure my quality of work is top of the line. I have been in business for a little under a year but, I have over 13 years experience in this business and know what works and what does not. I specialize in concrete whether it's a sidewalk redo or a design like stamp concrete if I can do it than it will be done. I also can do paver design and remodel such as kitchen and bath. I will work with you to ensure you get the best work possible and can be very flexible in terms of pricing.

"Fernando and his crew did an excellent job on my walkway. They arrived early each day and cleaned up at the end of each day. Fernando explained thoroughly each step of the project. I would highly recommend them."

We employee the highest caliber employees and use the best quality products available. We are fully licensed Home Improvement Contractors in every state we serve with the goal of leading the forefront of innovation in all that we do and setting the standard in this trade. We were the first to: Conduct mold remediation while simultaneously waterproofing. Offer lifetime warranties for our waterproofing services for the life of the structure. Offer lifetime warranties for the sump pumps. (We know they will not last a lifetime; it is a free replacement for our customers and our appreciation of their business). Clean out basement crawlspaces and garages while waterproofing.

"The job inside was done. However the drainage put in outside has turned our yard into a swimming pool. We once had a pipe draining to the creek and this was a perfect solution to the rains/weather. These guys came in and put a round small cylinder well. Water pumps up into our yard turning it into a swamp. Called them to come and see the problem they created. Their response $2900 to fix THEIR DAMAGE. I WOULD NEVER RECCOMEND THIS COMPANY!!"

At Effective Basement Solutions, we started with structural repairs and home lifting, helping homeowners protect the integrity of their foundations. Over time, we saw that water intrusion was often the root cause of major structural issues so we expanded into basement waterproofing. Done wrong, waterproofing can cause serious foundation movement in the future. With our background in structural integrity, we install systems the right way from the start. Our work naturally grew to include mold remediation, radon mitigation, Humidex systems, sump pump installations, and indoor air quality solutions. With over 20 years of experience in North and South Jersey and parts of New York, we’ve served everything from high rises to single family homes. Looking back, our journey from above-ground structures to basement systems feels meant to be because the safety and health of every home truly begins below

"Franco was very professional and friendly. He was knowledgeable and informative about the products. Work was done in a timely manner."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Drilling into brick or mortar requires the use of a masonry drill bit. Masonry drill bits appear similar to standard drill bits except for the leading tip of the bit. The tip has a bulky carbide arrow-shaped end slightly larger than the rest of the bit shaft. Standard or high-speed drill bits designed for making holes in wood or metal don’t have the ruggedness or design shape you need to drill into brick. They may not go through the brick at all, and if they do, they’re more likely to overheat, crack, or dull before you finish drilling.

A traditional rectangular brick that is used for siding, brick walks, and pathways is 8 inches long by 4 inches wide. If you are shopping for fire bricks, the standard dimension is typically 9 inches long by 4.5 inches wide.

Yes, you can enlarge windows in a brick house. Your masonry contractor will need to cut away exterior brick to make space for the larger window, and you may also need to consult a structural engineer to make sure the window is properly supported inside the frame of the house.

If you want to make your home eco-friendly, enjoy low maintenance, and love the fact that its looks will take people’s breath away (and not because they were trying to blow your house down), then a modern brick home is right for you. You can hire a mason to get the building process started for your brick home.

But if you’re not fond of the color and don’t want to deal with the process of repointing or other repairs, consider going with vinyl or wood. These materials offer a lower cost. While they tend to require more maintenance, they don’t cost nearly the same as exterior brick house repair.

Yes, an outdoor fireplace should use fire bricks. Fire bricks are specially designed to withstand high levels of heat and thus won’t crack as easily as regular bricks when exposed to the intense heat inside a fireplace.
