The paving stones are beautiful! We have 2 water fountains that we wanted to spotlight. Ricardo designed a curving, raised second tier across the back fence line. The water fountains sit up on that raised tier in each corner and are surrounded by container plants. The project turned out great - better than we could have imagined. In the paved area, there is an underground catch basin for underground drainage out to the front street. Ricardo's crew cut paving stones to place over the catch basin's grate. The way the stone were cut just didn't look quite right. We thought about it for a few days but we were not comfortable with how it looked. We contacted Ricardo and he was very responsive. He sent a crew back out and they re-cut stones for over the grate which we appreciate. It looks wonderful now! Ricardo and his crew were all very nice, professional, timely and responsive to our requests. They did a great job and we couldn't be more pleased.

They drilled a hole under the walkway on the northwest corner of the walkway to run a pipe along a trench to the middle of the yard along the fence where another deeper gravel pit was established about 25' from the house. The pipe was then extended to the border of my property (another 25') ending in another overflow gravel pit. To catch all the water running from the roof of my 20x20' patio, both gutter downspouts were connected to a pipe laid at a right angle to the pipe along the fence. It took about a week to complete all the work and I am happy to report that during past rain storms no water entered my garage. The work was done very professionally. Mr. Hebert is very good in explaining things. He and his helpers are very friendly and their good work is very much appreciated. Mr. Hebert did not use heavy equipment and the project involved a lot of digging. However, he took great care of my sprinkler system pipes and electrical wiring system, which were in the pass of the work. He cleaned up any debris and took it away. I would refer Mr. Hebert for similar work.

What he failed to mention is that this is NOT something he usually does. The final product was so bad that I demanded that he come back to redo it. His workers told me that he was rushing them to complete the job whenever I was out of earshot. Even though he came back and re-did the job, it still looks terrible. He did not account for the height of the edging material and the gravel and sand have spilled over into our driveway so that there is are empty spaces between the flagstone pieces. This is an embarrassment to us as our neighbors' flower beds are obviously professionally done while ours look like a DIY project gone wrong. We now have to pay a professional to fix Mr. Ermis' "work." After spending $630, this is certainly no small thing.
UPDATE: In September 2012, someone walked up our driveway, removed a stone from the flag stone border Mr. Ermis' men had installed, and threw it down a grate in front of our home. We live in a small, gated community where it is difficult to just walk in and vandalize property. No one else in the neighborhood reported any issues that day. So, it seems our property was targeted. Coincidentally, Mr. Ermis and his men were working in our community that very day.

I filled out her history, including her bladder stones, UTI, etc. In the 4+ months that I've had her, she hasn't had a seizure. I spoke with a tech who said they wanted to hold her overnight and monitor her. The estimate included a cather, lodging, a exam, blood work, seizure meds, and a misc fee related to seizures. I asked about the seizures meds, I was told she wouldn't be given any if she didn't have any more. I left her there around 4:30 pm 06/15/10.I call at about 11:15 am 06/16/10 to check on her. They said that she hasn't had any and that she is doing well, eating, etc. No vomiting or uncontrolled defecating. I asked about the bloodwork, they said her WBC were a little high, but it could be explained due to the stressful event. About 3:30, Dr. Seely called explaining that he had given her an US and discovered bladder stones and an another mass in her bladder and that he was sending it out. I reminded him that I already knew about the stones. I call right back. I ask why didnt he ask me if I wanted an ultrasound perfromed while they had me on the phone. He didn't give a really straight answer. I asked how much it was, he said $50. I asked for the total (I had already paid $600, based upon the estimate). He said that he couldnt, but the nurses would and call me back. They never did.I came to pick her up at 5:50pm. I told the nurse I was uncomfortable signing the discharge papers, let alone the invoice, she retrieved Dr. Cornelius. She walked in, we shook hands and she said to me, I hear there's a problem with Sasha. I said, no, just her invoice. I begin to explain. She explains to me that Dr. Seely did the urinalysis to be sure (?), and he did an additional one at no charge (?) because he just wasnt certain, because she didnt show any crystals. I explained on the chart that she had a history of stones/UTI (including SEVERAL urinalyses) and I also included her vet info. Why not just callthem ?Then she explains that because of the results, he did the US. While I am glad that I know there is a \"mass\", the clinic had ample time to contact me and ask permission. I had talked to them only hours prior and that said she was doing great. She shrugs her shoulders. I tell her while I know she doesnt care...she cuts me off, raises her voice and says that her 4 years in school should prove that she cares. I tell her that I dont appreciate her tone with me. I ask why she was given the meds for the seizures if she didnt have them, she said to me point blank, because shes going to have them again. I was like, do you know what's causing them? She said, no. I asked, well how do you know that she will have them again? She says we think its cancer or a lesion in her brain. This is VERY new information to me. I ask her, do you have any dogs? She says, two. I said, how would you feel if a vet did things w/o consent. She says she would be upset.Then she angrily asks what she can do to fix it."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/houston/vergi-reviews-479071.htm"},"position":10}]}

Our specialty is pouring concrete, repairing damaged or disapproved/non-functional concrete. We stand out from our competitors due to our responsibility of providing the correct information, better options, accurate numbers, satisfying and proper work. We don't cut corners or order cheaper material to pocket more money unlike other competitors as that would lead to unprofessional workmanship and disapproved and non-functional structure. My father started out working as a masonry worker and specialized in brick work. He later transitioned to concrete work and gathered enough knowledge to know this craftsmanship. After 25 years of house construction and remodeling and 10 years of concrete work, we started to expand with our recommendations and reviews. Our competitors not only leave customers with future problems but ignore their concerns. We make sure we don't problems for our customers and if a concer arises we will make sure we take that stress of our customers and fix the problem to complete satisfaction.

Stone and Gravel questions, answered by experts
Yes, technically, you can pressure wash the paint off of brick. However, you run a much greater risk of damaging the brick and causing serious problems. If you go this route, you’ll still need to carefully choose and apply a chemical paint stripper before washing, following all instructions on the product packaging. Set your power washer to a low pressure to avoid damage.
Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.
Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.
Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.
Brick spalling—which refers to the crumbly, flaky, or pitted appearance that can develop over time—is caused by a few different conditions. These include:
Climates with constant freeze-thaw cycles
Use of non-breathable sealants
High-pressure water cleaning
Improper installation
While you can’t do anything about the weather, you can preserve your bricks by cleaning them with soapy water and a good old-fashioned scrubbing. Pressure washers may be satisfying to use, but they can eventually wear away the surface of your bricks. If you don’t have advanced-level DIY skills in masonry, you can hire a reputable masonry contractor in your area for your project.
Do not use super glue to hang lights on brick unless you want your lights up year-round. Hot glue is a better choice because it’s easily removable with a small amount of rubbing alcohol. Super glue is very hard to remove, and you could tear off parts of the brick in the removal process.
