"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."

"Dishonest and unprofessional, profits over customer service, please stay away from this business. Quote was fair for my new patio of about 700ft, signed contract in Aug and estimated project start within 4-6 weeks, then problems started: 1. Scheduling nightmare Kept putting off my project and was told they had to finish some big projects first, and in Oct when it was well beyond the promised project start dates, the owner Cary called me to COMPLAIN angrily that they are annoyed by my request for ETA, and they have no idea when my project would start. The office manager Karen soon texted to apologize for Cary's behavior, but clearly this company doesn't value their customers and have no regard for the contract. 2. Crew urinating on my wall, unprofessional On project start day, no project manager onsite, no honey bucket for crew to use, the crew lead was constantly smoking and tossing cigarette butt around in my yard. Later when I complained, Karey argued the honey bucket would cost them $250 and I should not take advantage of them. Just unbelievable. Also the entire crew don't speak any English, it was impossible to communicate timely and make adjustments without project manager onsite . 3. Dishonest, still haven't fixed quality problem as promised Last day of project, crew was rushing to finish and didn't follow the original design on the patio landing area, and when I asked them to wait for 20 minutes so I can inspect because I was in a meeting at work, they refused and just left. Next day when I reported the issue, the office manager Karen texted me to "Stop taking advantage of them", "It costs them money to fix things" and finally she said they will come to fix only after collecting the remaining payment. I trusted them but it was a big mistake, no response at all about the fix after I paid the remaining half, clearly this business is used to telling lies and can't be trusted. Demand of patio projects is high during the pandemic, but there is no excuse for cutting corners, being dishonest, unethical and unprofessional!"

"My elderly mother is partially blind and disabled. On November 1, 2021 her washing machine broke leaking water in her home. In desperation she called rotor rooter. Roto rooter came out, stopped the leak, and put dryers in and left. They returned a few days later to remove the dryers. The technician quoted my mother a cost of about $3000.00. My mother signed a contract but could not see what she was signing. After Roto rooter Reno removed the dryers they sent a bill to my mother for $9000.00. The contract she signed stated Roto rooter would remove walls, roofing, insulation, baseboard, tile etc. Roto rooter didn’t do any of those things. Roto rooter is price gauging and took advantage of an elderly disabled woman. Roto rooter technicians were in the home no more than 3 hours total. First my mother did not have capacity to enter into a contract as she couldn’t see what she was signing. 2 Roto rooters technicians told her the cost would be about $3000.00. 3 Roto rooter did not do the work in the contract. I believe Roto rooter is commuting elder abuse and fraud."

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.
