"I have used Hernandez concrete for landscaping and a block wall. They have done amazing work. They are super friendly and professional and do work in a timely manner."
"Due to inclement weather the crews worked extended workdays to complete all work on schedule. They picked up and removed all trash and excess materials daily. The actual work performed was exceptional. I am very pleased with the job and highly recommend this company."
"Roger and his crew of RNH Asphalt installed a jaw-dropping asphalt driveway that includes a roundabout. I m absolutely thrilled with the result and impressed with the incredible speed of the installation and the resulting quality (especially the grade as the property is sloped at different angles!). My neighbors cannot stop talking about it (one called me as he parked his car in front of it on the way to his house!) and another asked for the name of the contractor as they are wanting to repair or replace theirs. The crew worked tirelessly into the evening after completing a prior project in the area and even repaired an unfortunate flat on one of the machines prior to my project (most contractors would have scheduled for a later date). I will definitely use RNH Asphalt for my future projects and highly recommend their services."
"Showed up quickly, sealed the big cracks, and coated the driveway fully. Left a mark on the stucco wall and partly covered the concrete around the gate, so not a perfect job."
If your building department catches you or a contractor doing foundation work without proper permits, they will likely put the work on hold until you secure the necessary permits, which can cause delays of days or even weeks. You can also face violation charges for construction without a permit, which can cost hundreds, depending on where you live.
Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while cracks on new concrete more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and repair concrete cracks for you.
If improperly installed, an egress window can compromise your foundation’s structural integrity, so it’s important to work with a pro to ensure your foundation remains in good shape. Any money you may save on a DIY egress window installation may cost you in the long run if your foundation is damaged in the process.
Barring extreme home foundation problems, most horizontal foundation cracks are fixable using one or more methods. Most of the repair methods require professional expertise to accomplish, and include plate anchors, steel reinforcement, soil anchors, reconstruction, or carbon fiber strip applications. Contacting a professional to diagnose the problem early can minimize repair expenses.
In most cases, it is safe to live in a home with minor foundation problems, but you should not let the issues persist. Virtually all foundations have small cracks from normal settlement, which are not a structural concern but should be sealed to prevent water intrusion. However, major damage—such as large structural cracks, sinking foundations, or bulging walls—can make a home unsafe. Other issues that can pose safety and health risks include poor indoor air quality from mold or pests, uneven floors, and rotten beams or joists. It is always best to have a foundation repair expert or structural engineer inspect any issues to determine if your home is safe to live in.
