Is a brick wall cheaper than concrete?

• <div><p>Brick walls are typically more expensive than concrete walls due to higher material and labor costs. Brick wall costs can range from <b>$10 to $45</b> per square foot, plus <b>$70 to $110</b> per hour for labor. Meanwhile, concrete block walls usually cost <b>$10 to $20</b> per square foot, depending on the material type. Labor for concrete tends to be less intensive and costly.

Q: Can you extend the length of your garage?

• <div><p>Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. </p></div>

Q: How do you prevent concrete cracks from forming?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-prevent-concrete-cracks.htm">concrete cracks happen</a>, so there&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What can you pour concrete over?

• <div><p>The ideal base for concrete is even, firm, and permeable to encourage drainage. Depending on your project's weight requirements, a combination of gravel, sand, or other aggregates is best. While you can technically pour concrete over grass, dirt, or an old piece of concrete, you risk threatening the concrete's stability.</p></div>

Q: What are the most important questions to ask a concrete contractor?

• <div><p>Do some research before hiring a concrete contractor . Consider asking whether the contractor is insured, if they can provide references of past clients you can contact, and if this type of work requires a permit. Another potential question is how long they guarantee their work.</p></div>

This company came out to repair a flower box that was separating from the wall it was attached to, fix some crumbling steps and clean the brick. It turned into a French drain and LOTS of money. They did not do any of the jobs satisfactorily and cut the wires to out outdoor landscape lights....

I highly recommend Mitchell Masonry. Brent is very knowledgeable and does excellent work. Had new flashing installed as well as tuck pointing on my chimney. The concrete crown he installed on the chimney is a huge improvement over the original and looks great.

"We recently had our old roof replaced by Kirsch Construction. The entire roof was completed in one day. Matt and his crew took extra steps to protect the house and landscaping while removing the old shingles. When the job was completed, the roofing crew meticulously cleaned up the yard. We are extremely pleased with the look of the new shingles. Kirsch Construction was easy to work with and very professional."
