"Looked at several foundation companies but decided to go with Foundation Support Specialist and I'm glad I chose them. The crew, Christopher Garcia foreman, Justin Hill co-foreman, Austin, Frank and Hector were professional, respectful, courteous hard workers. I was really please the way they tackled a mortared brick flower bed to get to install the piers. They reassemble it perfectly. Chris was really great about answering all my questions and he explained the process thoroughly as I looked on during some of the installation. Clean up was well done. Job well done by all ."

"Unfortunately, we found out that the previous home owner lied about foundation issues and succeeded with the sale since we were unaware of what to look for. This company was amazing from the very first phone call. I requested a quote and immediately received a call back with an appointment the very next day. Allen Alexander and Zack were very knowledgeable, professional and trustworthy. On the day of the estimate, we explained that we had put our remodeling on hold due to the foundation issues. Allen was very helpful and was able to squeeze us into their schedule to start the very next week. Their pricing was great for all the work our home needed. Workers were professional, polite, and very respectful. Even with the weather not cooperating, they continued to work without a complaint. When the job was done everything was swept, cleaned and all around the home looked neat and patterned out as if nothing was done. We have been in San Antonio for only a few years and it has been hard to find good, trustworthy people. I am so glad we found Hercules Foundation. They made us feel comfortable and answered all of our questions. Knowing that we have a lifetime warranty with a company like this makes us feel at ease. We would definitely reccomend this company to anyone searching for foundation/home leveling repair."

Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren’t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone.
Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.
Whether you’re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you’re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you’ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means your home build will take longer, as it’s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.
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.
No, using a power sander on brick is not recommended because the force of the sander can destroy brick's fragile outer layer. Even using sandpaper on brick is discouraged because of the damage its abrasiveness can cause.
