This homeowner stores her pool furniture in the basement during the winter months. But the old steps were tight and narrow, which made it difficult to get furniture through the door. Add in that the old tiny drain was constantly getting plugged with leaves, and the old wall was just being held back by foundation anchors and it was time for an update.

We excavated the yard and constructed a new Versa Lok retaining wall to hold back the yard.

We were not able to confirm the functionality of the existing drain pipe. The drain is vital because without it water can easily enter the basement during heavy rains. Since it is more than 4' in the ground from the surrounding grade, daylighting it was not an option without trenching an awful long distance and tearing the entire yard up. Instead, we piped the drain into the basement and installed a sump pump to pump the water back up to the surface.

We poured new broom finished steps thanks to and Quality Concrete.

We finished it off with new black aluminum railings from and some screened topsoil around the area.

BOOM. Safe, functional, and easier access now for this homeowner to store their pool furniture during the winter months for years to come.

These retaining walls weren't in bad shape, but the problem was the steps. The treads are only about 8" deep, which is way too narrow. Code requires a minimum of 12". But the way everything was built, it was impossible to replace the steps and not the walls.

We tore everything out and started fresh. New Versa Lok retaining walls, we widened the steps to 3.5' wide, poured a new curved broom finished walkway, and steps to the porch.

Finished everything off with beautiful black aluminum handrails rails on both sets of steps.

Repairing another contractor's shoddy work.

These homeowners had their retaining wall, steps, and walkway replaced about 10 years ago. And clearly, whoever did it wasn't very smart.

The steps extend out into the driveway, which is a perfect tripping hazard when you park your car there and are walking around it to unload stuff.

They only made the steps 32" wide, which is way too narrow for the main egress point of your house (think furniture/appliance deliveries).

They did not use the correct landscape adhesive, so the caps that form the stair treads can flip up when you put your weight near the front edge, which is a huge safety concern.

They were too lazy to level the area for the walkway. Instead they followed the contour of the ground which gave the homeowners a walkway that is steep and leaning side to side.

The railing stopped behind the wall. What good is a railing if it stops two steps short of the bottom and you can't reach it from the driveway??

We got them fixed up. Replacing the entire retaining wall was not in the budget, so we disassembled the wall at the steps back a few feet and sourced matching block in order to widen the steps to 3.5'.

We pushed the new concrete steps into the hill more so the bottom step no longer extends past the retaining wall, eliminating the trip hazard in the driveway. This required extending the retaining walls up both sides of the steps to retain the yard.

We poured a new anti slip broom finish walkway that has proper slope and is level side to side.

We finished it off with black aluminum handrails from that span the full length of steps.

This porch roof was dangerously close to collapsing. Every single anchor that attached it to the house except for one was broken or pulled out. We demolished it and constructed a new one from scratch. Everything about it is low maintenance. From the aluminum posts from to the vinyl siding and soffit, other than an occasional cleaning there's no more wood to sand/scrape and paint every year.

We also replaced the old stepping stone style walkway with a clean, broom finished concrere walkway from .

Making properties safer and more functional one house at a time.

We replaced these paver slabs with grass to trip on in between that made up the front walkway and patio and the sunken front porch slab with a new broom finished walkway and enlarged patio that makes the space much more usable.

This one was a challenge due to an unexpected torrential downpour, but we got it finished!

Thanks to as always.

This old garage floor was in terrible shape. It was only about 2" thick and was cracked like crazy. Also, when the previous homeowner had the driveway asphalted whoever did the job didn't pitch it away from the house, so there was always water pooling against the garage door.

We poured a new floor and added a channel drain outside to solve the water issue.

Thanks as always to and Quality Concrete for the concrete.

This residence needed a major face-lift. The driveway was cracked, the steps and retaining walls were crumbling, the sidewalk sloped so much you felt like you were walking in a fun house, and the railings were hanging on by a thread.

We constructed new Versa Lok retaining walls and created a planter on the high side between two tiered walls to make it easier to maintain.

We poured a new broom finished driveway, steps, and walkway to the front porch.

We finished it off with black aluminum railings all the way from the driveway up the steps to the porch, and wrapped the porch as well to contain this homeowner's dogs. We also replaced the old wood porch columns with black aluminum posts to tie them in with the railings.

This church entrance doesn't look like much, but it was a liability. Unfortunately, whoever asphalted the parking lot did not properly grade the lot to slope towards the catch basin a few feet in front of this entrance. As a result, rainwater would pool right at the entryway making it a challenge to tiptoe around in the summer months and a skating rink in the winter months. We tore out the old concrete and curbs and poured a new entryway that ensures water properly drains away from the building and installed new aluminum support posts for the roof. We recommended that they address the parking lot drainage issue to completely eliminate the water problem.

This homeowner heard a loud POP noise one day and felt the floor of her house drop and the plaster walls crack. The steel column that supports the main I beam spanning the length of the garage had completely rotted out and failed, causing the I beam to sag roughly an inch under the load.

We used temporary columns to support the beam while we removed the concrete floor and old post. Then we jacked the beam back up to level and installed a new permanent post before patching the floor up.

If you're in a pinch, give us a call. We have the knowledge and skill to get you fixed up.

This is totally unacceptable R.I. Lampus Company. This is a man made product, you're literally filling precast molds. There's no reason these block shouldn't be perfect. A few here and there, fine, I understand mistakes happen. But pretty regularly there are blocks more than a 1/4" off, or aren't even flat and slope side to side. You continue to raise the price of your product, and yet your quality control has completely gone out the window. I've been a long time customer, installing your products for 7 years now and giving you easily $50,000 annually. No longer. Until your quality control returns, I'll be giving your competitors my business instead. Be better.
