"A delivery truck backed up too far into a loading dock on our business property damaging the wall and causing the overhead door to be inoperable. We had difficulty finding a competent contractor to take on this repair. Within a few days of contacting Tom, he visited the property and had an estimate prepared. We had some concerns about the large amount of deposit that he required. He did explain that obtaining a large deposit has become commonplace among contractors in the area so they will be paid. So we went ahead and sent him a check for the deposit. Once he had received the payment, he started the work within a couple of days and was completely finished in less than two weeks. He kept us informed along the way of his progress. The cost of the repairs seemed reasonable under the circumstances. I would not hesitate to use Tom again."

JG7 Concrete and Construction is a family owned business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty, and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers though out Central Oregon.

"I was contacted by Abraham Torres in the Spring of 2022 to arrange for work to be completed from a bid he submitted on October 5, 2021. The work included completing three concrete aprons, one to replace the damaged attached garage driveway apron and other two were added as an entrance and exit for the shop lean-to. We arranged to begin the work June 21, 2022. He informed me that he and 3 additional individuals would arrive that day and begin prepping and setting up forms on the job site. I discussed with him and agreed to increases in material costs and a change from rebar to wire mesh, which increased the cost to $7000. The job proposal required 4 workers to complete the project in 3-5 days. Abraham and Gabriel spent only spent 1 day prepping and 1/2 day pouring and left their father, Gabriel Sr., and Omar, the younger brother, to finish the rest of the 2nd day. They failed to complete the remaining day(s) as per the estimate. There have been several different issues associated with the marksmanship of JG7 Concrete that surfaced during this project. First, concrete was splashed on the existing adjacent concrete slab in front of the shop door as well as the lower metal shop siding and corner mouldings of the lean-to. I had to purchase Liquid Hammer for $30 to remove the dried concrete splashed on the metal siding and corner mouldings. Secondly, I discovered that either the loader of their John Deere or jackhammer had damaged the bullnose edge of my interior garage concrete. I made it quite clear to Gabriel Jr. that there was absolutely no existing damage along that bullnose edge, other than a small chip under the south moulding. I advised him to be extra careful to avoid such damage while jackhammering and removing the concrete pieces. I subsequently called Abraham to inform him of the problem and requested he repair the damage. He claimed he would do so, made arrangements on two separate occasions to complete the repair, and never did so. My wife and I postponed a trip to Redmond during the second scheduled date and he failed to show, or even call. He’s made no subsequent attempt to complete the repair. Thirdly, Abraham apparently had no plans to backfill along the edge of each concrete apron, thereby leaving the edges of each apron exposed. His younger brother, Omar, attempted to do so the second day by going to Mathews Construction and getting substandard material (filter sand with a considerable amounts of rock) to utilize as backfill. It has subsequently compacted following rain and the grass refuses to take root in the sand. I will now have to hire a landscaper to bring in proper backfill soil to properly shore up the edges of the concrete and allow for proper germination and growth of the missing grass. Lastly, the concrete aprons on my garage and lean-to entrance puddle water. The water puddles on the sections of concrete between the joints and concrete edges because the concrete is pitched away from the edges of the apron and joints toward the middle of each concrete section. Even though JG7 Concrete is now working under a current Oregon Construction Contractors Board license, it was not doing so when they began the project. After they began on June 21, 2022, I discovered their CCB license had expired, even though I had previously made payment of the required 50% of the estimated amount. If you decide to use JG7 Concrete for a concrete project, you might wish to consider the following issues. Mask existing concrete and building surfaces to ensure splattered concrete can be easily removed or be prepared to remove such concrete before it dries. Make sure any damage created by JG7 Concrete to existing concrete or buildings is repaired prior to final payment. Ensure that the project is completed in its entirety. All backfilling and replacement of grass should be completed prior to final payment. Lastly, hold JG7 Concrete to their contract commitment. They should spend the time allotted as outlined in the contract, with the stated number of individuals to complete the project without shortcuts."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Whether you’re installing brick siding over a traditionally-framed home or you’re using genuine brick construction to build, the biggest downside of a brick house is the higher cost you’ll pay for the materials and labor. Real brick construction also means your home build will take longer, as it’s more time-consuming to construct brick walls than it is to frame out your home.

Modern brick houses are really stick-built homes with a brick facade for aesthetic purposes only, so most have framing. With genuine brick construction, most homeowners install furring strips over the interior of the brick and then install drywall over those strips to cover the brick wall, so they don’t have traditional framing.

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.

Rock salt and ice melts contain sodium chloride, aka salt, and are corrosive to metal and concrete. If used frequently over time, it can cause corrosion, discoloration, chipping, and cracking to patios, walkways, and driveways. You can try a rock salt alternative or hire a professional snow removal company instead. 

According to the Earthquake Country Alliance—a public and private alliance in California that works to improve earthquake and tsunami readiness—reports that unreinforced masonry, such as stone, bricks, and hollow clay tiles, is more susceptible to earthquake damage. The mortar between bricks isn’t as stable as other building materials and methods.
