"I highly recommend Art and his team. They did concrete work and resurfaced my rock walls. They went the extra mile to make my home look prettier. I will definitely work with them in the future. Communication was excellent as well. -Mike N"
"I Received a detailed estimate of the work to be performed and a revised estimate any time we discussed and agreed to any adds. The work was done very much to my satisfaction. All workers were very professional, obviously skilled to do their particular parts, and cleaned up and hauled away all trash and parts removed. I had a wall removed between the dining and living rooms, a dropped ceiling removed in the kitchen, several recessed lights added, and some painting. Jacob Ledesma, contractor, and I believe owner, is a consummate professional. His rates are very fair based on my research and other quotes obtained. I will use this company again for other projects and highly recommend this company"
"We are still in the budgeting phase and have not contacted yet however Scott Hughes of Groundwork’s was a great resource. He provided detailed information on the issues and how they would resolve them for us."
"I have used Gonzales Landscaing twice for concrete work and have been very pleased both times. Their concrete crew is top notch, very expierenced, and hard working even in triple digit temperature. Andres, the owner, responded immediately with a detailed estimate, and had his crew at my house within two days after bid was accepted. They worked hard to complete the job quickly, and were well supervised by Andres. They are capable of performing a variety of landscaping work including rock walls. I highly recommend them. I think you will be well satisfied."
"A.R. Construction replaced the roof to my home. I appreciated that they did not leave a mess in my yard when the project was completed. I could not be happier with the job they did!"
"Great customer service and quality work. Very responsive and worked the job into a tight timeframe. Crew hit the ground running and worked the concrete like master artisans of the trade. Their handiwork and craftsmanship will be highlighted once we acid stain the floor. Can't wait to get to that next step. Thanks Home Advisor -- you matched us up with the perfect business, MT Construction!"

"Brian and his crew were very professional and knew what needed to be done. The concrete was the best, after the cutting at this point no cracks. I would suggest that they invest in a better method of applying the stain. I did have areas that were noticeable that stain did not take. I paid extra for more stain outside of the contact. One spot was in our doorway. The reason I took a star, I did not appreciate that all the trash and empty stain bottles were thrown in our trash that filled it to the top. You have to be careful what is thrown away."
If you've decided you'd like to skip the cost of restoring a brick exterior wall after considering whether you should repair or replace brick on your house, you can consider installing fiber cement siding over brick for a cost of $2 to $6 per square foot. When done properly, cement siding over brick offers a durable, low-maintenance option that can actually reduce your home's energy costs. It's also attractive. However, improper installation or installation over heavily compromised brick can cause water damage.
Most of the time, you or your contractor will spray the concrete form and framework with a release agent or oil to prevent sticking. This is common practice with wood and steel forms. For insulated concrete forms, the styrofoam formwork often remains in place after construction, so you don’t need to treat it beforehand. Foam concrete forms made out of melamine also may not need treatment beforehand, as the material naturally won’t stick to the concrete after it’s cured.
Brick walls are typically more expensive than concrete walls due to higher material and labor costs. Brick wall costs can range from $10 to $45 per square foot, plus $70 to $110 per hour for labor. Meanwhile, concrete block walls usually cost $10 to $20 per square foot, depending on the material type. Labor for concrete tends to be less intensive and costly. Ultimately, concrete is often the more affordable choice, especially for larger projects.
Newly poured concrete is prone to small, fine cracks within the first 30 days of installation, but most noticeable cracks will disappear within that time frame. If a crack is greater than 1 inch, consider contacting the person who installed your wall to inspect the job.
Professionals provide long-lasting, structurally sound, and aesthetically appealing concrete surfaces tailored to business needs.
