"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."
"Outstanding job! Alejandro Gomez did a great job with his crew to make my patio look wonderful and just the way I wanted. He was very accommodating and professional."
"I had purchased a big deal for the service. They were very personable and friendly. They figured out the job, went and got the stuff and did the job very well. There was nothing negative and the positive thing was that they were very personable, and willing to take my input. They asked us what we wanted, and if what they did was okay, so they worked well with us. They were making openings in the wall, so that they could take all the wires from the computer into the wall, and come down and out of the wall, so that we could plug them down underneath and not have wires all over. I just paid 10 more Dollars for the little covers for the holes in the walls."
"Mr Gonzales gave me a quote of 200.00. After he made the cut & cracked it in half (I wanted the concrete in one piece!). Then he charged me 500.00. How do you go from 200.00 to 500.00 in the middle of a project!"

In most cases, yes, masons can build concrete forms and pour concrete for a variety of home improvement projects, including foundation pouring. Some masons may prefer to focus on more aesthetic and artistic masonry work, like building retaining walls, crafting custom fireplaces, tiling, or installing stucco siding, but most also have experience pouring concrete. You can always ask your masonry contractor if they also handle poured concrete projects.
Yes, thicker concrete is less likely to crack. The thicker the concrete is, the less susceptible it is to extreme changes in weather conditions that often cause concrete to crack or chip. If you’re unable to install a thicker concrete driveway for any reason, you can also ask your professional to install more rebar or wire mesh to provide greater strength and better resilience to damage.
Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.
It's safe to assume that all exterior walls are load-bearing, or at least have load-bearing characteristics. Some older homes feature porches or bump-outs that don't rest on the home's foundation. However, they still must carry the weight of the roof section they support. Walls containing floor-to-ceiling glass or other non-structural elements must use post and beam configurations to meet load-bearing criteria.
Unfortunately, concrete cracks happen, so there’s no surefire way to avoid them long-term. To slow down the cracking, apply a sealant every two to three years and use sand rather than salt to melt snow or ice. Using salt speeds up the freeze-thaw cycle, which may increase the likelihood of cracking. Additionally, keep vehicles and heavy machinery off of your concrete, as the weight can lead to more cracking.
