"We obtained several bids for the large project. His price was reasonable and was significantly lower. Robert accepted the job and gave us a date to begin and length of project. Robert and his crew were on time each day, worked very hard and completed the project on time. He was gracious to accept the additional work of sodding the area. We were extremely pleased with the finish project which demonstrated his expertise and professionalism. We communicated with him through text and his responses were timely and always answered any of our questions and request. Robert was extremely easy to work with and it was evident he strives to meet the needs of his clients and excellent results. I can’t say enough how pleased we were with the finished project. I highly recommend Robert based on our experience with him and the beautiful results. We are so appreciative."

"I have used many concrete contractors over the years; however, Omar and his crew are at the top of the list moving forward. They are by far the cleanest crew I have encountered, the did grading work, broom filled bobcat tracks and even put fresh dirt over where the pump truck hose laid so the fescue would come back faster. Not an ounce of trash was left behind and this was all done of their own accord. Exceptional work and was well worth the added week or two wait time to get them on the job as opposed to someone else."
"We used Vesta Foundations for our driveway repair. Mike, Omar, and Rudy did an incredible job and were very professional. They explained the different phrases as they completed each repair which was very helpful. They used a foam to fill in the voids underneath our driveway and also sealed our joints and put a drainage system from our gutters to carry the water on down the side of the driveway."
"These guys saved my job and the landscaping too! My boss had been wanting myself and my team to take care of the landscaping for over a year. They came in & removed the birds nest under our site sign, added GREAT mulch, & made sure our landscaping got what it needed (water & love). When we hired them, I literally said “I don’t want my boss to come to town and talk to me about landscaping. I want him to talk to me about BBQ”. Since they’ve started landscaping hasn’t been a part of any conversation my boss and I have. They’re not only good at what they do but, they care as well."
Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.
The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3each.
Chimney mortar typically lasts 20 to 30 years, depending on its quality, local weather conditions, and maintenance. Over time, exposure to moisture, freezing, and thawing cycles can cause mortar to deteriorate, leading to cracks and gaps. Regular inspections and timely repairs, such as repointing or tuckpointing, can extend the lifespan of chimney mortar by ensuring the structure's integrity.
Landscape boulders, especially porous stones like sandstone or granite, can crack or break over time. Cracks occur when water seeps into the surface of the stone and freezes. The risk is highest when it rains during the day and temperatures freeze overnight since the moisture has time to penetrate deeper into the rock before expanding.
Yes, brick houses are better insulated, because the bricks slow down the passage of air from the outside to the inside and vice-versa. This helps to stabilize the internal temperature of the home. When combined with proper residential insulation, brick houses are more efficient and better insulated than other types.
