"David and his crew Ives, Victor, and Joseph did a fantastic job stabilizing our foundation. They were focused on the job and came prepared to work. They finished the job quickly and professionally. They communicated with us throughout the entire process. Once they got into the project they were able to identify areas that didn't require the repairs and David quickly explained a new plan and then, with my permission, adjusted the plan which saved us several thousand dollars. I appreciated their honesty and integrity. Thank you Groundworks for training and hiring quality people.

"Very pleased with our new concrete walkway that was made on the side of our house leading to the back yard. Job was done quickly & very professionally. Overall very pleased & will definitely be reaching out again with future projects."
"Juan and Alfredo are some of the hardest workers I've ever met. They, not only took care of our grading problem, they also transformed our backyard into our dream entertainment space. They were easy to work with and implemented all of our changes on the fly. Highly recommend."
"This was an excellent experience! They were timely, had a great price, and very professional. I thought hiring for concrete would be stressful, but it was a breeze. It took me time to decide when we wanted to put it in and they were very patient but once we decided, it was a matter of days to be complete. Amazing experience. Thanks!"
"They did a good job. They lay a concrete slab to place eventually a shed. It was not a big project but it was nicely done. We communicate mostly with Tony, but Junior that is also an owner of the business was great as well."
"The Contractor was prompt to respond the day of estimate. Vili arranged for an HVAC person to move AC so the contractor could prep and pour the concrete all the way to the house. It is a family owned business with three generations doing the work. It took two days to prep the area and frame it as well as pouring the cement. It looks great. They did an excellant job and I would highly recommend them to anyone that needs concrete work done."
"It was awesome! Exceeded my expectations and the job was done right on schedule. I've recommended 2A1 Construction to all of my friends and family. Happy customer!"
The premise for painting a brick building is fairly simple: Prime the bricks to seal the surface and apply the top coat to protect your brick home. However, it’s easy to miss a few important steps if you’re starting from a raw brick surface and don’t know the basics of how to paint brick. So be sure to reach out to a local professional painter if you have any reservations about correctly painting your brick house.
No, you don’t need to soak the brick before cutting it by hand. In fact, cutting a wet brick can make it harder to see your score lines and may cause the chisel to slip. Soaking is sometimes used with power tools to reduce dust, but for hand-cutting, it’s best to work with dry bricks for better control and visibility.
They offer durability, aesthetic appeal, and resistance to weathering compared to concrete or asphalt.
On average, a well-built brick mailbox can last between 30 and 100 years. The insert that holds mail inside the mailbox may last 15 to 25 years before it needs to be replaced. If a mailbox needs to be fixed due to damage, make sure you know who to hire for brick repair.
You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.
