"From our first phone call, Paul was honest, trustworthy, and dependable, and we knew we found the right folks to do our dry wall patch work for us. They quoted a very fair price for the work, and kept us in the loop throughout the process. They are reliable and professional all the while being approachable and flexible. They even went above and beyond to get our job done in one day and brought another gentleman to help. We are so grateful since we are trying to get our interior paint done ASAP. We would not hesitate to give Paul and his son Brandon a call again for future work. We highly recommend them!!"
"Fantastic experience from beginning to end. I'm very happy I went with Joe's company. They are absolute professionals and I could see everyday watching their progress, that they are concerned with quality. Joe had great communication with me throughout the whole process, and they were able to finish on time despite all the rain we were getting. I will definitely hire him again in the future for any masonry."
"Guy stayed until the job was completed, he dug out and leveled the ground for a garage. Laid in 25 ton of gravel and poured the concrete. I must say when the concrete was poured he was here until he was satisfied with the job."
"They built a new deck for us and did a great job on the deck. However, one of the deck railings was not cut or installed correctly, and four months later, he still refuses to return and fix it. It would only take 1-2 hours of work to correct this, but he will not take care of it."
David was on time and very professional. He spent an appropriate amount of time evaluating the 2 areas we had requested. He documented the inspection w/ photos, measurements, and sketches. He provided a verbal preliminary report and is to provide a written final report w/ specifications for the mods we are proposing. (Removing a wall upstairs and a post downstairs.) We were happy to hear that our mods were going to be less complicated than originally thought and consequently less expensive. We have the peace of mind that the proposed changes are structurally sound and will be done correctly.
"My experience with this company was excellent. Ben was on time, professional and completed the work to my specifications. I was very pleased with the finished product."
Yes, baking soda and vinegar can remove rust from concrete. Vinegar is acidic and can remove rust stains from concrete on its own. Adding baking soda may increase abrasiveness, which could help loosen some of the stain even more when scrubbing the stain. However, a stiff-bristled brush can do the same.
Does the water in your taps sometimes come out very slowly? If so, you might have problems with low water pressure in your house, and your pressure washer won’t effectively clean. To test if your water pressure is sufficient, time how long it takes for the water from your hose to fill a 5-gallon bucket. Usually, if it takes less than two minutes, you’re good to go.
For pressure washing a driveway, a PSI (pounds per square inch) between 2,000 and 3,000 is recommended for both concrete and asphalt surfaces. A pressure of 3,000 PSI is ideal for deep cleaning without causing damage, effectively removing debris, dirt stains, and even oil spills. If your pressure washer has a lower PSI rating, you can still use it, but the cleaning process will take longer. For a more efficient and even clean, consider using a surface cleaner attachment.
While DIY power washing is possible, professional services ensure thorough cleaning, proper pressure levels, and avoidance of surface damage.
Deciding whether to buy or rent a pressure washer depends on your budget and how often you plan to use it.
Renting: The daily rental cost typically ranges from $40 to $175. Renting can be more cost-effective for a one-time project.
Buying: The purchase price for a pressure washer can range from $100 to over $1,000. More specifically, electric models generally cost between $100 and $400, while gas models run from $300 to $600.
If you anticipate using a pressure washer multiple times a year, buying one is often a better long-term investment. When purchasing, remember that a higher-quality machine will likely deliver better and more reliable results.
