"This was a great experience from the first interaction to last. The Yellow Crew, Alan, Jacobo, Mauricio ( the workers) were amazing. Their foreman, Tommy and Michael DeMasi, the foundation specialist, were excellent. Everyone was punctual. They kept us informed all along the way. Price was reasonable for scope of work. I would definitely recommend this company!"

"You couldn't have a better crew & business to do this installation for you. All the installers worked as a fabulous team. Radames, Gary, Chris A & A-Shawn on the dig out & sump pump installation was during the hottest days of the year. Never stopped or complained. The discharge line had to go through the brick of my house & under my sidewalk, Gary, James & Josh finished out as good as it gets to doing the masonry work. Anytime you call the office (Cindy, Katie, Mikki & Christa,) it seems as if your the most important customer they have, never on hold or inattentive to your questions & needs. Also an A+ to the electricians Vinnie & his assistant, just a great job."

"Virginia Foundation Solutions We had the Gray Team finished at our home yesterday. Our house had uneven floors and felt soft in places. Once diagnosed, what was necessary was explained. No hard sales pitch. Had several contractor companies give us a bid. Virginia Foundation Solutions was not the cheapest. They werenâ t the most expensive either. What they did was more than any of the companies offered. Back to the Gray Team or should I call them the A Team. John, Max, Juwan, Trevor & Robbie were all very professional and polite. These young men cleaned up every night. Never left a mess or issue. Explained everything they were doing. Virginia Foundation Solutions should be very proud of these men. Word of mouth, yes I will praise this company and the Gray Team to anyone that needs foundation work on their house. To the owners of Virginia Foundation Solutions, Thank you for sending me your best team. What is most important, my wife is happy."

"Crawl Masters provided a quality blown in fiberglass attic insulation, raising it over the 39 R value. I recently purchased the 30 year old 2000 sf ranch home, and it had minimal attic insulation, barely covering any of the ceiling joists. Owner Dave was honest, punctual and professional. Dave was very knowledgeable about what needed to be done. Dave provided photos afterward of the installation. The price was reasonable. I was planning on doing it myself but left it in Crawl Masters hands. I am glad I did and would definitely recommend them to family and friends. The temperature in the home now stays constant without the HVAC continually kicking on and off."

"Excellent response, almost instantaneous. Randy came out, diagnosed the problem and excavated the area where he felt the leak occurred. Pinhole leak was found in my 30+ year line. Randy repaired it, back filled the excavation and it now looks as good as ever.
Within minutes of his authorization to repair, several reps from Miss Utility were there to ensure no hazard to existing lines was apparent.
I gave my opinion of the price a "B" only because I'm chintzy. :)

"From quote to completion was less than 2 weeks. They poured almost 1300 square feet of concrete for my driveway. They removed the old crush and run, leveled the ground, set forms, poured, textured, relief cuts, and a thorough cleanup. They even raked my pea gravel back into place. Excellent price, very professional, and I would definitely recommend them to a friend."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.

Yes, brick can breathe through limewash. Limewash is a breathable coating made from natural lime and water, allowing moisture to pass through while providing a protective layer. Unlike synthetic paints or sealants, which can trap moisture within the brick and lead to issues like mold, limewash allows the brick to maintain its natural breathability. This characteristic makes limewash an ideal choice for historic structures where preserving the integrity of the brick is essential.

Yes, masonry is more expensive than concrete because the labor is much more involved. With masonry, your expert will build your project from the ground up, one piece at a time, ensuring they use the proper amount of mortar or grout during construction and keeping the project level or plumb. Pouring concrete can also be labor-intensive, but it’s a bit less involved. It requires building a mold, pouring the concrete, and letting it cure. The less intensive labor makes concrete a more affordable option in most cases.

When painting brick, each application method has pros and cons. Spraying is much faster but may not penetrate the porous surface of the bricks. Rolling is effective for getting paint into the bricks but doesn't work as well on the mortar. Brushing is very time-consuming and also won't penetrate beyond the surface. For the best results, a combination of spraying and rolling is often recommended. If you use a roller, choose a thick option (at least a half-inch) and ensure the paint gets into all the crevices for even coverage.

Yes, you can do German schmear on stone. You can account for the more textured and rough surface of stone by using a large paintbrush instead of a putty knife. A brush allows you to drag mortar across the stone to get it into all the cracks and crevices. However, a brush will cover more of the surface, so you may need a wet sponge to scrub excess mortar and expose more of your stone.
