"Skyler and TerraFirma far exceeded our expectations. The injection process of the foam raised our cracked garage floor back to level. Skyler’s customer service was the best. I highly recommend TerraFirma and hope that you get Skyler as the person doing the work… you will not be disappointed!"

Mid Valley Excavation is licensed and bonded for both Commercial and Residential work in the state of Oregon. Based in Sublimity, Oregon since 2012, Mid Valley Excavation provides site preparation and excavation services throughout Marion, Polk, and Linn Counties as well as the greater Willamette Valley region.

"Discussed the problem with my steep gravel driveway and its condition by phone. They were very complete in describing the tasks needed to be done, and when they came out 2 days later, they had exactly the right equipment and thoroughly did exactly what they said they would do, in the time they said it would take. The driveway is now graded smooth and evenly sloped, rolled, and compacted. It is in by far the best shape in the 20 years I have lived here. All at what I consider a fair, competitive price. And the crew that did the job was a pleasure to deal with. A very positive experience all around!"

Masonry questions, answered by experts

The United States Postal Service (USPS) recommends placing a mailbox 6 inches to 8 inches back from the curb. If your lot is unusual, speak with town authorities or the local post office to determine the correct placement.

The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors—like white or gray—will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a bold color can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. 

Drilling into brick doesn’t have to be a dangerous project if you prep and approach it with the right tools and techniques, but it does come with risks if it’s not done correctly. It can lead to significant issues, such as damaging the brick or affecting the wall’s structural integrity. Applying too much force can crack or chip the brick, while incorrect placement might compromise its load-bearing strength. 

Mortar and thinset both serve the same purpose—tile adhesion—but have different compositions and use-cases. Thinset is heatproof and presents a wide range of possibilities due to the added polymers. Mortar is typically used for bonding stones and brick. Thinset is rarely used outside, while mortar is rarely used inside.

Granite is the strongest commercially available stone houses are built from. It’s also more commonly available, which means transport costs aren’t as high because a granite quarry isn’t too far from a build site. Limestone and sandstone are popular materials as well, but they aren’t as strong or weather-resistant as granite.
