The job went well.  Reasonable price, work done well and in good time.  Eamon Greaney stayed in touch with us throughout by email.The finished product is superior.  The house looks beautiful with the old brick chimney gone.Thank you Greacon.

I left for 2 days in order to be out of the way. When I returned, I saw that a worker had helped himself to a beer and the refrigerator door was left open for at least one day. Eamon denied that his workers would do such a thing and berated me for accusing them, but there was no one else here but them.While they carefully masked out areas inside where they would be walking, they neglected to cover areas under the decks. My fish pond was covered with debris as well as the gravel/flagstone area. Although Eamon apologized profusely, the same thing happened a second time. I will be picking debris out of the gravel till doomsday.Also although they were still applying coatings, they removed some of the floor covering. What's the point of protecting the floor part of the time? I am finding paint bits all through the house on various surfaces touched.They tried to cut corners by not applying flashing in areas where it was labor intensive to do so. Had I not been there to observe carefully that would have happened. When I pointed it out, Eamon became angry and accused me of questioning his integrity, that he was doing his best, trying to please me, on and on. Yet the fact remained, the flashing was not applied. When they did after the fact (2 coats of topping had already been put down), they used a lighter gauge metal, not what was required, so that they could cram it in. When all was done I also discovered that instead of giving the deck surface a slight cant away from the structure, they did the opposite. Therefore water flows toward the building (which is improperly flashed), not away. The only way to fix that is to start over. I think that he thought he could get by with the things he did because I am a single woman. However I have worked in the construction trades and was able to call him on the deficiencies, which caused him to be angry and intimidating. Because the water flows toward the house I will have to be vigilant in checking for water damage, at which time I will need to replace decks which if done correctly should last beyond my life expectancy. I imagine this will be read by the service provider. i hope I don't hear back from him.

The job went very well . No complaints what so ever.
