Douglas's crew arrived one work day after our original date due to a winter storm delay at the job before ours. One man immediately measured where each hole around the house perimeter would be dug while the crew unloaded a large number of foot-long cement cylinders and their tools.
About six laborers started digging 4X4x4 square holes at each marked location. The digging was all done by hand, and a tarp or sheet of plywood was placed next to each hole for the dirt removed. I was amazed at the speed and efficiency of the men digging the holes. Almost all of the19 holes dug through dirt were completed on Day 1.
On the first day they also started driving the concrete cylinders into the bottom of the holes. This was the scary part, as they used a hydraulic press to drive the cylinders down, and the press was braced against the bottom lip of the foundation. When the last concrete cylinder required 10,000 psi to go deeper, they stopped. However, in some places, the cylinders stalled with as little as 6,000 psi of pressure. When that happened, and it did probably a dozen times, the foundation would "shiver" or "burp" as the cylinder refused to go down further. We could feel each of those from inside the house.
On Day 2 the crew began jack-hammering out the concrete in our driveway, back patio and front porch for four more holes, and taking boards off the back deck for one more hole. By the end of Day 2 all the holes were dug and all the 46 concrete piers were in place going down 7 to 12 feet under the foundation.
On Day 3 a different man came whose job was to use the computerized level and direct the actual foundation leveling process. Working in four to six holes simultaneously, the crew would crank small hydraulic jacks in unison under the direction of the man in the house who watched and listened to the walls, rafters, doors, countertops, and seams in that part of the house. My wife called him the "house whisperer" after he asked her to take the telephone elsewhere to answer a call so he could hear any popping or cracking. We were very impressed with this gentleman's slow methodical process. He took new readings on his level repeatedly as he and the outside crew worked together in their coordinated effort to slowly raise the different sections of the foundation, without bringing on undue stress that would crack walls, plumbing, or the granite countertops that line one exterior wall in the kitchen. This gentlemen encouraged us to be present in the room with him and kept us in the conversation to decide when the foundation had been raised as far as it was safe to go in each area.
The upshot of the leveling process is that our foundation still has a slight downward slope from the center of the house in a couple of areas, but those slopes are well within the acceptable range, and not now noticeable. The sheetrock cracking was not worsened, and we are waiting another few weeks to have a painter repair and repaint the cracks. One inside and all three exterior doors are noticeably more level.
The last part of the work was for a plumber, who Douglas selected, come out and test for new plumbing leaks. He did that by plugging our sewer line, taking a commode off, and filling all the pipes under the foundation with water from the faucets. He then simply watched the water level in the commode pipe to see if it dropped over a thirty minute time of observation. We were nervous about this part, and greatly relieved that the water level remained constant - no leaks under the slab!
The plumber also had to add an extension to the steel gas line pipe at the meter as we raised the level of the house at the spot where the meter sits outside the house. The work on the gas line was $170 at our expense, not part of the contract with Douglas.
On Day 3 the crew refilled the holes in the dirt, but had to return on Day 4 to repair the concrete holes in the driveway, front porch, and patio, and replace the wooden deck board
All work went well. Our only minor issue was that my wife was not overly pleased with how the digging crews handled the shrubs and rose bushes they had to remove and replace. Otherwise, the crews were very diligent and helpful.
As a point of interest, each day all but one of the crew spoke only Spanish, and one day the only English speaker on the crew was a digger and not the foreman. So on that day, when I had questions regarding the varying psi points at which they stopped driving each concrete stack of cylinders, I had to speak through an interpreter to the foreman. But that was not a problem.
I was surprised at the number of different employees of Douglas who worked in different capacities on our job. Each specialized task was done by a different man who was here just for that part of the job. To me that reflected a professional firm that knows the value of experience at the key points of the job, especially the man who was the "house whisperer" and led the actual raising and leveling segment of the work.

My parents home was destroyed in the Bastrop Complex fire on Labor day weekend, 2011. At the same time a different fire blazed through out neighborhood and burned all of the one acre forest behind our house. My parents moved in with us and we helped them work thorough the devastation of their lost lives. We then started talking about rebuilding, do we use the old slab, or not? Who do we call? We called the largest builder in our subdivision, we met with them and they didn't really have a plan that would work and they seemed high for the size they quoted. My mom had gotten a letter in the mail from a builder offering his services. My first reaction was " throw it away" as we had heard about all these "fly by night" builders who were trying to capitalize on this disaster. After the deal didn't fly with the first builder I told mom "let's call him" so we did. Mom called and visited with Sanford "Sandy" Meyerson, and he was very personable. He also told her that by coincidence, he had built a small office behind one of our neighbors, right on our street! So of course right away I contacted our neighbor who had glowing reviews for Sandy, and invited us down for a look at his handywork.We were all very impressed with the place and his demeanor, along with his business plan of using local vendors, Plus he belongs to "Angel Wings" which is a group of pilots who flies Cancer patients back and forth for treatment. His house was one of the few that survived in the Tahitian Village community in Bastrop so he was immersed in this disaster. He was also one of the selected builders to participate in the "Extreme Home Makeover" show filmed here in Bastrop. We felt good about Sandy, and proceeded:We had a floor plan from one of our neighbors who had a guest cottage they had built for their parents. They invited us down for a look and it was perfect, albiet a bit small. We have Sandy the floor plan, and asked to blow up the bedroom and living room. The other challenge was getting it to match our house, and to pass our very strict HOA building approval. This was all happening around Christmas time. We hadn't even signed a contract with Sandy and he brought my folks a beautiful gift basket. He worked hard to get the plans to work, and put in the custom features we needed such as ADA features.Then the day came, he was ready to submit the bid. He came over with the contract, and his offer. The price was quite a bit more than we had expected for a small house, but given the bid we got from the first builder, that must just be what it costs. He didn't expect them to decide right away so left us with the paperwork. After some debating, we (well my parents anyway decided to move forward.The construction:First thing I have to say, Sandy takes no shortcuts. I told him of the shifty soil we have and all the neighbors having foundation troubles. He asked for our engineering report from when we built, and once he had it in hand, he just about turned white. "we are gonna beef up that slab" and boy did he. I have never seen so much iron in a slab in my life! The guys he has that does slab and concrete work are amazing. They made little mini ramps built into the concrete by the front and back doors to make it easier for my dad!The construction process has gone smoothly and pretty swiftly. Sandy did all sorts of creative thinking to save money and resources for my folks who were building this with limited resources. One of our neighbors stopped by and I saw him looking closely at the lumber "he uses top grade lumber, this stuff's not cheap" I never even gave it a thought, but asked Sandy and he told me it's not worth saving a bit on cheap lumber. He's also very good about calling and checking with you on small details. He wants it to be right.Today's date: June 15th. In two weeks, it will have been four months since the slab was poured.Construction has gone on at a steady pace. We have since I began this review met all of his subs and seen their work. Every one of them is a master in his/her trade. Some of the things they have done, I have never seen done, like using this little tool that makes every grout line in the outdoor brick, exactly the same depth. It's beautiful.The home should be finished in two weeks. Yesterday they installed the AC system and even that guy from Leon's was very nice, and explained some of the "little extra's" he did to make sure the system is right. I expected the kitchen cabinets would come from a major cabinet factory like Merrilatt or the such, but nope. Sandy has a custom cabinet maker who came over and sat down with my mom, helped her pick the wood and then helped her design her layout. Tile work has been excellent. They have been very creative within mom and dad's budget. Granite countertops were done with such care you cannot see the one and only seam. The concrete guys have done all the flatwork and it's beautiful. They designed it to carry the water from our existing driveway all the way to the end and off into the yard. The house was finished and they moved in the second week of July. The house turned out perfect and the remaining bill was actually less than we expected. We were 100% satisfied with the work, with Sandy and his crews."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/smithville/meyerson-custom-builders-lp-reviews-6564453.htm"},"position":10}]}

"Alex Blaker and his team were referred to me by ADU small home sales person in Austin Tx. My project was creating additional barrier walls in a home for the PadSplit app. We had to add 3 electrical outlets, as well as connect a clothes washer that required all lines electrical and water to be ran. Alex was cordial, easy to work with and genuinely cares about the work and level of craftsmanship that goes into the project. You will meet Dario and others on his team who are incredibly polite, clean, and efficient. Project was completed in a little over a week. Budget: initial bid around $7800 + taxes, two owner approved add ons elevated the project around $600. (Plug relocation, and dryer vent routing) Payment was made in 3 payments over the life of the project. I like this as it lets you see the project be started first. Alex kept me in the loop every day and came over in person to inspect, and recommend updates to the job. Happy to work with Alex and his team and look forward to working with them on future projects!"

FAQs for concrete driveway service projects in Lockhart, TX
Concrete can crack from general wear, improper installation, or in response to uneven support from the soil underneath. Small, thin cracks on the surface of aging concrete are usually a result of normal wear and tear, while cracks on new concrete more likely indicate a problem with installation. Larger cracks or uneven steps can signify a much more severe issue. A concrete contractor should be able to diagnose the cause and repair concrete cracks for you.
A concrete driveway lasts between 25 and 30 years, provided you maintain it correctly. Other factors that impact the lifespan of a concrete driveway include your location’s climate and the amount of wear and tear it receives. Heavier vehicles, like RVs and trucks, notoriously create more wear and tear than lighter vehicles and, therefore, might reduce the concrete driveway’s overall lifespan.
With proper maintenance, exterior concrete steps can last 25 to 50 years or more. In most cases, your steps will require some minor repairs over that time frame, including sealing surface cracks and resurfacing to keep them in good condition. Interior concrete steps should last even longer, usually between 50 and 75 years, as they don’t have to stand up to the elements.
The cost to install a concrete driveway is $4 to $15per square foot on average. Your price heavily depends on your desired concrete finish and driveway size.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay an average cost of $1,900. For a driveway at double that size (400 square feet), the average price is closer to $3,800. Plain concrete is significantly more cost-effective, averaging $7 per square foot, whereas stained concrete averages around $19 per square foot.
The cost of resurfacing concrete is $6 per square foot on average, though that cost can range from $3 to $9per square foot.
For a driveway that is 200 square feet, you can expect to pay $600 to $1,800, and for a driveway that is 500 square feet, that cost averages $1,500 to $4,500. Resurfacing your driveway will give you the look and feel of a new surface without the hefty cost.
You may want to hire a concrete floor contractor to check out your home’s concrete surfaces or inspect your home’s foundation for minor damages that they can fix while on site. They may be able to fix cracks in your driveway or garage floor the same day they fix your concrete steps, as well. General concrete repair experts usually won’t be able to handle larger jobs, like leveling a sunken foundation, so you’ll need to hire a structural engineer for bigger projects.
