"Our problem was that our 500 sqft crawl space would collect water after heavy rains. The insulation was sagging and mold was developing on the wood. I contacted AFS and another company to compare bids. I chose AFS over the competitor for two reasons. 1. The sales rep Austin (with AFS), actually crawled through the entire crawl space and took pictures. The competitor did not. Austin then went through the pictures and discussed the problems we were having and suggested we add a drainage system and encapsulate the area. I told Austin that I was looking at another company to compare work and bids and would let him know by the end of the week. There was absolutely no sales pressure. Austin told me he understood and to take my time. The other company said it would be a 3-4 day job and Austin said it would be a 2 day job. 2. Both companies said they would deal with the mold. The other company would use some sort of gas to kill the mold. AFS said they use baking soda to actually blast away the mold off the wood, and then spray it with an environmentally safe solution to keep the mold from returning. Both companies would add a dehumidifier. The pricing for both companies was comparable. Primarily for the reasons above, I chose to go with AFS as I felt their presentation was much better and I liked their approach to deal with the mold. I did tell Austin that I was very skeptical because of how low the crawl space was. He assured me they’ve worked in smaller spaces but I was still skeptical. I emailed Austin a couple of times with some questions and he was always quick to reply with answers and even sent me the pictures he had taken when I asked for copies. As to job performance, Adam, LaMarcus, KeAndre, and Zach did an excellent job both days. Adam called me each day to let me know they were on the way and they always on time. The team was very professional and courteous. Each day they made sure the work area was cleaned up. In talking with a couple of the guys I learned that they have actually worked in spaces tighter than mine which helped alleviate my skepticism. The team was very friendly and freely answered any questions I had about what they were doing. They stayed focused on the job and had completed the entire work by 2pm the second day. I crawled in the space to inspect the work and found a clean crawl space encapsulated just as Austin had described in his presentation. Adam said when he turned on the dehumidifier it read approx. 85%. By the time I left the crawl space it was down to approx. 77%. We also tested the sump pump. Needless to say, I’m no longer skeptical. Everything I was told would be done was completed. I rarely write reviews but AFS deserves this one."

"I am writing to formally address the issues concerning the project I hired Jackson of J & M Concrete to complete at my property. The scope of work was to diagnose and repair a pond leak as well as address a sinkhole, with an estimated project completion time of 2-3 days. The estimated total price was $6300, of which 50% was to be paid in advance, $3150 was paid. On January 2, 2025, Jackson, of J & M, poured some concrete, which was to cure and settle before the next phase. The project was left incomplete. Jason removed all equipment and left the job site by the next morning, leaving large ruts in the yard from the trackhoe and other heavy equipment. The sinkhole was not addressed, nor the pond leak. It has remained unfinished and has been getting worse during the last 2 and a half months. I called days two and three when there was no sign of them coming back and made numerous phone calls over the next couple months to find out when they would be back to finish the job, seeing as they were paid beyond the scope of the job they did. It has been more than 2 ½ months and no return phone call. At the end of February, I received a letter from the concrete company contracted by J &M, Smyrna Ready Mix Concrete, which is seeking payment for their services – “Notice to Contractor and Request for Notice of Commencement, O.C.G.A & s.44-14-361.5.” I called them and found out that their bill had not been paid by J & M. I notified Jackson about this matter and he texted back saying he was in Florida and would call in the upcoming week due to a death in the family. As of today, March 13, the pond continues to leak, and the sinkhole remains unresolved, even growing in size. The equipment used during the project caused enough damage to require that additional fees be spent for hiring a landscaper to address the ruts in the lawn left by the trackhoe, as well as the excavated hill dirt used to block the creek from flowing into the pond. The partial blockage diverted the water, causing it to overflow its banks. Fortunately, the blockage has since been cleared."

When properly maintained, stained concrete floors can last 20 years or more. For optimal protection, they require sealing every two to four years. Regular sealing helps reinforce the surface against moisture, scratches, and wear. Maintaining a consistent schedule preserves the floor’s appearance and structural integrity, ensuring lasting performance and adding value to your home.
While durable, stained concrete floors can crack under intense humidity or stress, which can affect their uniform appearance. If cracks occur, repairs might not blend perfectly with the original finish. Regular inspections and timely professional repairs can prevent these issues. Consistent maintenance protects the surface, maintains its aesthetic appeal, and upholds the floor’s overall durability.
The permanence of a concrete stain depends on the type of stain used. Water-based stains provide a semi-permanent appearance that allows for future modifications. In contrast, acid-based stains create an irreversible change through a chemical reaction. Your choice should reflect whether you prefer a finish that can be changed later or a consistent, long-lasting look.
Yes, changing the color of a concrete floor is best achieved by staining rather than painting. Staining establishes a strong, durable bond with the surface and resists chipping and fading. Paint doesn't adhere as firmly and deteriorates under regular use. Choosing a stain ensures a vibrant, resilient finish that maintains its appeal and protects the concrete over time.
Stained concrete floors offer exceptional aesthetic and functional benefits. They create a chic, modern look that enhances any interior and can increase your home's value. The durable finish withstands heavy traffic and requires minimal maintenance, making it a practical choice for busy households. This investment in quality flooring also boosts resale appeal and adds significant long-term value to your property.
