Recent Masonry Reviews in Athens
- North Alabama BuildersExcellent craftsmanship, attention to detail, creative design ideas, and dependability are hallmarks of North Alabama Builders. The crew of Ben, Jared, and Mason were polite, respectful, and went beyond the call of duty and performed jobs other than the ones they were strictly contracted to complete. We are 100% satisfied with every aspect of the job(s) they did and recommend them highly. If you need home repairs/remodeling, North Alabama Builders should be your first (and last) call
- Harris Brick & StoneFantastic! They showed up on time to do an estimate and again to do the work and the estimate was significantly lower than the other bidder. The team had everything they needed for the job so they didn't have to "go back to the shop for XXXX", They worked through day, finished completely and cleaned up everything when done. Everyone on the team was very friendly and obviously intent on doing a great job. And a great job is what they did. The door is just as secure as the ones installed with the building was built in 1968 and closes perfectly. Can't recommend them too highly. They're great
- Cantrell Contracting LLCIt took several months before they got to me, because they are quite busy, but I was not in a big hurry. They did an excellent job; it looks great! They re-used my brick and did a good job of matching the mortar. They removed the whole area around the cracks, cleaned it up, and then re-assembled it. They also redid some brickwork under a downspout and that looks nice as well. They put new molding and lintel around the garage
- Durable DesignsProject went well for the most part, especially the actual patio and masonry work. Both of those were top notch. Cons to the work was that we underestimated the time required and amount of dirt needed to backfill. Estimate to complete the work was 1-2 weeks. It took approx 15 weeks. Delays were due to a combination of material shortages, weather, and possibly some communication misfires between Durable Design management and workers. I don't want to be too critical here, because overall it was a good job and the workers were very courteous and hard working. However, finishing off the last 5% of the job (the dirt) took up nearly half of the 15 weeks. Again, weather did play a role as it did rain a lot over the last 8 weeks of the project, but the biggest problem was not bringing enough dirt such that it took multiple loads to finish the job. Lesson learned is the need for better communication (and dirt required estimating). As indicated by the ratings, these cons did not seriously detract from our assessment of the work and we are satisfied customers
- Sharp BuildersDean does a great job of pulling a project together and within cost. There were numerous examples where he was able to offer improvements to our draft designs that made the project so much better overall. We put our full trust in him, and we were completely satisfied. we would hire him again.
- Cantrell Contracting LLCGreat work. Mortar matches original 20 year old brick. Showed up on time, completed work quickly, and made other minor repairs to the brick work on my home for minimal charge.
- MRC Home ImprovementIt went well and we are very pleased with the final product. There were some delays in the project beyond his control such as weather-related delays with the roofing and bricklaying. Our only frustration resulted from the absence of his crew on certain days when they were involved in his other projects. We knew this going in and adjusted as we had to. At each step in the project Tim provided us with signed cost estimates and was willing to accept and quot;progress paymentsand quot; as each step in the project was completed. He and his crew were conscientious about the quality of his work and tried to meet our expectations and changes which evolved. He has performed similar work for us in the past and we have always been happy with the result. He is a very smart and capable contractor and very good at adjusting on the fly to changing requirements. The cost was acceptable and within our original estimates
- Cantrell Contracting LLCOwner Jared Cantrell was the foreman on the job and was very prompt, communicative, and skilled. His crew worked liked beavers, and did an excellent job on this extensive repair. The new brick work was indistinguishable from the original from some 40 years ago. Did good clean up. When we replaced a window a few weeks later, he came back and did a very complicated fitting job because the window opening was out of plumb. Again excellent work
- Itz Done ServiceI relocated for a new position with a company paid relocation allowance. That included a potential buyout on my home. The house was inspected as part of this process and the inspector identified numerous potential issues that could have ended up costing me 2 to 3 thousand. Housedoctors came out to originally give me an estimate and they highlighted that items the inspector said needed to be fixed were actually within building code and done correctly already. In addition, later the night after they finished the quote, they took it upon themselves to go on line and find me the sections of the Alabama building code and emailed them to me so that I could use that for support for why the work was not needed. Even though they could have made much more money by just agreeing with what the inspector said needed to be fixed, they did the right thing and it saved me a significant amount of money. They even provided me the support needed to convince the acquiring agency that the work was not needed and that the inspector they hired was simply wrong and did a poor job
- Itz Done ServiceThe company itemized the jobs separately as I requested and the prices for each were all quite reasonable so I turned them on to do all the work. It turned out that the entire top of the brick mailbox had to be rebuilt. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the mason was able to match the mortar color to the original. He did get a little mortar on a few bricks but overall I was satisfied with the work. The carpenter discovered that besides the two shingles that had come loose there were about a dozen in that section that were originally nailed incorrectly. We added that to the work order and he spent a few additional hours ensuring they wouldn't also come loose. The carpenter did an excellent job of cutting a multitude of rotted soffit and fascia sections off and replacing them with new wood. There were several areas that were not on the original bid - a few that were missed in the bid and a few that weren't found until he got up on a ladder. We added those to the job while he was here. The painter did a great job painting all the soffits, fascia and gutters. The house has a lot of trim, including some up high in difficult to reach areas. Overall, I was pleased with the price, being able to quickly and without fuss add work to the contract during the job, the quality of work performed, the punctuality of the workers, the time it took (only a few days) and the good attitude of the guys performing the work

"Mr. Dennis Green is an exceptional young man. I had recently moved to my new home and my driveway needed some help. I called Mr. Green and left a message. Within an hour, he returned my call. He scheduled a day to come out and give me an estimate. When he arrived that Friday, he measured the drive and gave his estimate in writing. I wasn't sure whether to install concrete or asphalt. He talked with me about the pros and cons of both because they do both. Dennis was very honest and informative. I decided to go with asphalt. And he backed up his estimate with a 6 month warranty. And on Monday morning, they were paving!! Dennis is a very personable man, respectful and a joy to be around. And his crew is top notch!! I would recommend this company to everyone.

"James Jones and his remodeling crew spent a week at our house completing a long list of repairs we needed in preparation for selling our 1965 ranch-style home. The biggest job on the list involved ripping out old sheet vinyl flooring in the family room and kitchen and replacing it with new tile flooring. This was a truly difficult job, especially since we discovered multiple layers of flooring and previous water damage in the kitchen subfloor (that clearly had resulted from previous sloppy remodeling jobs). In addition to taking up the old floor and expertly - I mean perfectly! - laying new tile throughout three rooms and in tricky closets, they also repaired numerous other issues with our house, involving rotating a toilet, fixing bathtub problems, installing a new dishwasher, installing new light fixtures, and moving some light fixtures around in the basement. We had worked with this company previously (they installed a brand new front door with sidelights in this house in 2009), and again we were impressed with the quality and speed of their work. J and J Remodeling can fix almost anything and have a broad set of skills from carpentry to plumbing to electrical. They complete their jobs on time with the utmost professionalism, they fix and remodel things the right way, and do this for an extremely reasonable price. They are also pleasant to work with and are genuinely honest, cheerful people. I highly recommend this company if you need any repairs or need to remodel your home. We had an offer on our home within 5 days of listing it (in a slow market), and we believe the beautiful improvements that J and J Remodeling made really helped that happen.

"Each of the last 3 yrs has gone well. I haven't had any problems with any of the work. I did have a few plants die, which he promptly replaced.His crew have always been hard workers and respectful. I will continue to have Artscapes do work for me. He has recently started doing stone work that is absolutely gorgeous. It's simulated stone, but you honestly can't tell it and it is SO much cheaper and quicker than real granite. I'm hoping to have him do a small waterfall or fountain or maybe even a wall across our back fence in 2013, if my taxes didn't go TOO high! He had a really nice booth at the home show, so if you're interested in something like that, check it out.He had a large BBQ grill setup all made out of this new "stone". It looked cool, but we rarely grill. We always get a lot of compliments on how our yard looks (and our front walkway and porch!). Our maintenance isn't always up to snuff, but that's our own fault. The grass isn't always green, but that's what a drought will do. I honestly plan to NEVER have anyone else make decisions on the management of our yard.
