"Groundworks were contracted to encapsulate the crawl space, with a dehumidifier, intellijacks & sump pump. The inspector showed us pictures & videos of what the work would look like on completion, & explained how each solution would be installed. They tried to charge me more for vent covers until I showed them the contract covering this part. The foreman told me there was a reset button for the sump pump to be installed on an exterior wall, but they did not install it, instead said they would put in a service order. I haven’t heard anything about this issue yet. When they installed the moister barrier, they excluded the cement pads I was told it cost extra to have them covered. When I signed the contract, I was never told there would be extra charges for vent covers or cement pads to be covered. The contract I signed covered a complete encapsulation, but this is not what I got. This is a bait & switch. I would not recommend Groundworks."

"Matt was very professional, efficient with his time, competitively priced, and amicable. He avoided many things that we discovered in the ground, even after private utility location.

"Rafael and his crew were amazing to work with. The initial visiting for a quote was free and very informative. He was quick to understand my sketches for a totally different deck design, asked really helpful questions, and gave clear recommendations. They were able to start promptly. All of the crew members were very professional in their communication and planning and updates. They were highly skilled and did excellent quality work. I am so happy with my new deck! When work was done, they honored their quoted price. For my project they did not ask for any payment upfront, just payment in full upon completion to my satisfaction. They do take other payment methods but prefer cash so I suggest you ask about your payment options upfront. For the whole process, this company was great to work with. The craftsman of the finished work was excellent quality. I recommend them to everyone."

"We are on the lake and have a hard time when the city raises the lake and there is weather. We decided to build a stone wall to contain our garden area from being eroded every year. Jessie met me at the Stone quarry, where I picked the stone and he promptly came with his crew and constructed it by hand. They also set a metal gate I had picked out and back filled additional soil. The overall finished product was very effective and he even returned the following year to shore up one part of the dirt by back filling with gravel to help the weather erosion for no extra cost. They went above and beyond in my opinion."

Stamped concrete is a decorative technique where concrete is patterned, textured, or embossed to resemble materials like brick, tile, stone, or wood. After pouring the concrete, installers add color and stamp patterns onto the surface before it sets, creating an attractive finish. Basic stamped concrete designs start at $8 per square foot, making them less expensive than pavers, brick, or slate. However, more intricate designs cost up to $28 per square foot. While complex designs are pricier, stamped concrete often provides a cost-effective alternative to traditional materials.
A stamped concrete overlay costs between $3 and $5 per square foot, making it an affordable choice to update an existing surface. This overlay option refreshes outdated concrete by adding design elements such as multiple colors and custom patterns. In a 100-square-foot project, the expense is between $300 and $500, and the process enhances appearance with minimal additional work.
Stamped concrete lasts up to 25 years when installed by expert professionals using quality materials. This durability means your surface is engineered to remain attractive and strong throughout its lifespan. Regular resealing every two to five years and prompt repairs ensure the concrete maintains its integrity and visual appeal over its whole lifespan.
Stamped concrete is a cost-effective alternative to laying pavers. This option provides comparable aesthetic appeal at an average rate of $12 per square foot, less than the high expense of brick or slate installations. Homeowners gain a modern and customizable finish while reducing overall installation and maintenance expenses when they choose stamped concrete.
