Unfortunately the labor wasn't well trained or just didn't care. While in the process of removing the garage floor the operator of the bobcat backed into the wall in a couple places putting football size holes in the Sheetrock. They also busted the garage wall foundation in one place which they did fix. I feel comfortable with the management but not the work the labor does.

Chris worked really fast and quality was really good. I was super surprised that there were no paint specks on floor, sink, or trim work. Only criticism was that there were some tiny missed spots in hidden areas. I pointed those out and he fixed within 24 hours. The sheetrock fix had no...

Excellent The crew arrived on time, patched the holes in the walls with mud, worked very hard, and cleaned up after themselves. They did this over a three day period and left my walls looking better than new. Charged less than other bids. This crew knows what it is doing. Their leader, Dan,...

It went really well. Todd did a great job explaining what was going to happen, and approximate price. There was actually a stud right behind the faucet that made it very difficult to work around, so there's a fairly large hole in the wall, which we covered with an old cabinet door. The...

Concrete Walls questions, answered by experts
Yes. Foundation walls are always load-bearing.
The length of time it takes to construct a seawall depends on the size and material; commercial seawalls tend to be much more extensive and thus take longer to build. Expect the actual construction to take between a few weeks and a few months, but the preparation before work even begins might take just as long.
Unfortunately, concrete cracks happen, so there’s no surefire way to avoid them long-term. To slow down the cracking, apply a sealant every two to three years and use sand rather than salt to melt snow or ice. Using salt speeds up the freeze-thaw cycle, which may increase the likelihood of cracking. Additionally, keep vehicles and heavy machinery off of your concrete, as the weight can lead to more cracking.
Generally, a wall can bow up to 30% of its thickness, or around 2.5 inches for an 8-inch-thick structure, before it becomes an urgent situation. If your basement wall bows more than 1 inch, it's time to have a basement inspection to determine if a repair is necessary, depending on the soil conditions and structural specifics. Walls nearing 4 inches of bowing will require significant repairs. More than 6 inches of bowing usually means the wall will need replacing.
It’s possible to pour concrete if the temperatures are expected to dip below freezing at night, but you need to take some special precautions before you do. Most importantly, you need to make sure your concrete won’t freeze, so the best thing to do is enclose the area and heat it. You should also make sure you’re using cold-weather concrete that’s designed for pouring in cold weather. Use accelerants to help speed up the curing process and avoid cold temperatures from resulting in weak concrete.
