Stone symbolizes permanence and solidity. For that reason, it has historically been used to build churches, government buildings, university campuses and what are today national monuments. It dates back thousands of years to the Greeks and Romans who used it to construct buildings, many of which still stand today. Even stone walls that are centuries old still exist in many parts of the world. Stone will not rot, will not be eaten up by bugs, and will not decay. Stone can endure fire and is almost impenetrable. Not only that, but real stone is the ultimate among eco-friendly materials. It comes from the earth, is little modified except to be cut to fit, and ultimately returns to the earth unchanged. It is also maintenance-free. No repainting is needed and there is no need to reinstall any aspect as there often is with wood-based projects. Walls to surround a yard or part of a building or even a building constructed entirely from stone add a touch of nobility that few other materials can do. A stone fireplace adds a touch of elegance to the interior of a home. Whether you desire a wall, pergola, other feature, or even an entire house built from real stone, veneer stone or manufactured stone, we will build you an attractive item that will make you proud and last a lifetime. And it will be virtually maintenance free.

Brick is among the most enduring and attractive materials for building walls, fences and any other projects in or around your house. Bricks do not rot, they are not subject to mold and they never need painting. An entire house can be built with brick, making it maintenance free and long lasting, particularly if the material used is face brick. They consume less energy for heating or cooling because bricks form effective insulating materials, helping the homeowner to save on the costs of building the brick house. Alternatively, part of a wall of a house can be built in brick, adding a classic touch to the exterior. An attractive feature of bricks is that they can be used to provide a variety of patterns for use on a patio, driveway, or fireplace. You might enjoy having a brick pattern that is special to you incorporated in the overall design for your home. It is important that bricks are properly laid when undertaking a project. Badly built walls can start to collapse and can be unsightly over time. We employ skilled and experienced bricklayers who will build a brick structure that will look attractive, will stand up to all kinds of weather, and that will last a lifetime with minimum maintenance.

Concrete provides a solid base for such items as floors, columns or wall caps. It is strong, long-lasting and affordable. Its strength and durability have led to it increasingly being used in many buildings, tunnels and bridges, including homes. It is versatile and needs little maintenance. Particularly in areas that are prone to floods, concrete is an excellent medium for floor construction. Unlike wood, it does not warp or develop mold when saturated with water. Concrete cannot catch fire, no matter how hot the flames around it, and it does not emit toxic fumes when fire is burning above, below or around it. A concrete wall has considerable reserves of strength and can accommodate future changes in construction as it can usually accommodate increased loads placed on it as a result of remodeling. We will provide all your needs for concrete. Our team of experts are highly proficient in preparing and laying concrete in all situations. We can model it into almost any shape, allow you to select a form that will blend in with your design needs.

Stucco is an outstanding wall covering for the exterior of your home. It will withstand hot or cold weather and will stand up to strong winds, sleet, snow and rain.

It is also fire resistant, meaning that your insurance company might consider lowering your premium if you install stucco on the outside of your home. Stucco can be produced in a variety of colors that are mixed into the finish, meaning that it can be blended in with the exterior design and color finishes of your home. Many homes show an increase in value when stucco is applied to them. By introducing a classic style and an appropriate color to the finish, the gain in market value for the home can help to pay for the cost of installing the stucco in the first place. It is important that stucco be correctly applied. Our quality professional team of experts is committed to providing high quality smooth stucco finishes that will be elegant, affordable and lasting.

Pumping A concrete pump is an efficient and economical way to transfer liquid concrete to anywhere on a building site. The system, which pumps a consistent stream of concrete right to the place where it is needed, is particularly useful when used on high-rise buildings where a conventional concrete truck cannot deliver the concrete to the higher levels without the use of a crane and some sort of bucket system. Because it is able to pour a constant flow of concrete, a pumping system can deliver large volumes of concrete an hour, thereby saving time and money. It also can place the concrete in areas that might be harder to reach using another system, and can efficiently deliver the concrete to every place that it is required, even when the area is small. Additional benefits are that fewer people are needed to operate a concrete pumping system and a crane that might have been needed for the concrete can be freed up to be used elsewhere on a building site. We have invested in the latest in concrete pumping systems and so are able to take advantage of the most advanced methods of delivering concrete on a more affordable and efficient basis whatever the nature of the project.
