The estimate was done in early February, and the original plan was to start work by mid-Feb (something like 2/20). Well, a huge snowstorm came, and then the snow just never left. Our contact with him dropped off a bit during that time, and he had mentioned that the ground should be a certain temp for the concrete to set well. We waited out the weather, touching base now and then. A few times it took a couple of days to get back to us through email, but I wouldn't call that "unresponsive" at all. I think every call and email was returned. When the snow was nearly gone and we had company coming into town and wanted to see if he could start and finish within a certain week, Barry made it happen. They didn't quite have the last gate up before our guests came with their dog, but Barry and his worker made sure to secure any openings over the weekend. They cleaned up really well, leveled out dirt, closed any small gaps in the link near the ground. Overall, I'd highly recommend Barry's Fence. They did a great job, and seem like they do care about the quality of their work and whether we were happy with the result. We've had fences built in other houses, and this was a better experience than those.

No attempt was made to pressure me into contracting with them, just a simple listing of costs (each of the items in the above list was given its own separate cost) and recommendations on which items were most time-sensitive and which could probably be delayed if needed. Work Performance Work was completed in one day. A work crew of three arrived mid-morning and worked until dark to make sure everything was completed. Much as during the estimation process, the crew provided a large amount of information on how to ensure the chimney and the new stove were used correctly. During the work, one of the pieces of the liner was damaged, and rather than try to use it or postpone the work, they went out and purchased a replacement piece so that the job could be finished on time; there was no additional charge for this piece. The crown repair and cap installation were done using concrete, and they made sure to smooth and square it to be aesthetically pleasing. They cleaned up the work site and left it as clean as when they started. They also explained how to break the stove in properly, gave me permitting documents to be submitted to my town hall, and provided me a warranty card for my chimney liner, already filled out and ready to send. I have used the insert since the day of the work, and it has performed well. There is no trouble starting and maintaining a draft, no smoke has come into the house, and the electric blowers built into the insert work correctly. Overall I was very impressed with the work performed by Dublin City Chimney Sweeps. Everything from estimation to installation was low-pressure and well-performed. It's clear from watching them work that they are very knowledgeable about chimneys and fireplaces, and they know the code and manufacturer's instructions well. They may be a tad more expensive than other outfits, but it's worth it for the quality of work.

At that moment I decided not to work with this company again. I had a few words with the owner in 2013 because they for some strange reason had automatically scheduled an appointment for me and I had to call them to inform them their services were not needed on that or any date. I called in another company this year to inspect my chimney liner, a company that 10 years ago had fixed my chimney and capped it for me. They did this last week (8/2013). It turns out the liner was glued in at the top and you are supposed to put it in place with concrete. In addition to that they ruined all the work I had done to cap my chimney because they hacked out the concrete for the cap to put into the liner and never sealed it properly. Because of their lack of quality work - which also included not insulating the liner (something recommended by the furnace manufacturer), water was leaking inside which created cracks in the chimney near the top. I need to have this repaired now. I was actually shown pictures of what they did and what the job correctly done is supposed to look like. It was night and day. I learned I was overcharged for the work. Something like this can be done with professional results with the liner being insulated as recommended by the burner company for about 1500 - 1550 dollars. I was charged 1800.00 It is one thing for someone to come to your house and be courteous and clean up after themselves. It is another to complete a job with quality workmanship and that's what I expect. For that I give this company a really low rating - especially for what they charged. I personally would never work with them again.

Yes, I did want a slight alteration: the original fence went stright back to the gate, then inexplicably encroached upon the driveway by protruding slightly onto the driveway. A minor thing to look at, unless it's in your sideview mirror showing that if you back up straight you'll rub your rear fender against the fence. Both the fence and several cars have received the scars to prove it. Mike's crew was out by nine Tuesday morning, pulling and stacking the old fence and setting the posts. I was pleased to see that the difference between a one day job and a two day was Mike's use of conventional concrete v. Quik-crete, a provision for whch the other company required my wife to initial approval. They worked a full day Wednesday, still finishing the gate when I got home from work.
The result was all Mike promised, a perfect fence. All posts are true, reinforcement is excellent, the catwalk is double trimmed and leveled perfectly from eight feet to about six and a half feet at the garage to allow for the drop to the alley. And yes, Mike, you're right. My wife can even swing on the gate, it's so sturdy. Communication was excellent and there were no surprises.
As long as you belong to Angie's list, you should take advantage of it's most significant value. The most popular company may be a little less competetive in it's pricing, knowing many people will be content to call only them. You'll undoubtedly get a good product, but you may be able to find the same for less. I most highly recommend Affordable Fence Co!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/tx/plano/affordable-fence-co-reviews-136894.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for concrete finishing projects in Gales Ferry, CT
Concrete repair costs range anywhere from about $0.10 to $0.15 per linear foot to fill minor cracks, to about $6 to $14 per square foot to replace damaged concrete slabs. Repair costs vary widely depending on the size and type of work needed. For example, replacing 100 square feet of driveway will cost between $600 to $1,400, on average.
The average cost of stamped concrete is around $12 per square foot, but you might pay anywhere from $8 to $28 per square foot. The average 12-foot by 12-foot patio costs $1,730 on average. Your exact pricing will depend on the patio’s square footage, the condition of the area where you want to pour the concrete, the desired stamp pattern, concrete coloring, concrete grade, and local labor prices. Don’t forget to budget for extra costs like land preparation and additional concrete fortifications if necessary.
Depending on the cost to repair your driveway, it may be more cost effective to tear out and replace it with a new concrete driveway. The cost to repave a driveway ranges between $1,400 and $12,100, including removal of the old concrete. Contact a reputable concrete contractor for advice and an estimate. They may have a good reason for going with repairs or replacement after assessing your driveway. You may also have the option to resurface your driveway or pave over it without taking out the existing one.
It’s possible to create stamped concrete yourself, but we don’t recommend it and it’s often not cost-effective. It’s easy to mess up the pattern of a stamped concrete patio or walkway, leaving you with an unsightly home exterior rather than the elegant solution you wanted. Any mistakes made during the ground leveling and concrete pouring process will also increase the risk of cracks forming on your concrete. Additionally, buying enough stamps to get the pattern in before your concrete cures can cost as much as hiring a professional to do the work for you.
Concrete contractors typically charge anywhere from $6 to $14 per square foot. Cost factors include job size, site prep, base material, accessibility, your location, concrete finish, and concrete thickness. Removal of existing concrete, asphalt, deck, pavers, and grass will cost anywhere from $1 to $6 per square foot. Homeowners can often save money by removing and disposing of existing pavers, decks, and grass. Breaking up and hauling away concrete and asphalt is difficult and time-consuming without the proper equipment and may be worth having the pros do that work.
