Brick by Brick Masonry & Stone Restoration

Drahamane (Head Mason) and his partner showed up at 800 each day and worked until approximately 5 pm. A true craftsman! I cannot even tell where they did the patch jobs. They removed some old caulk that a previous owner had put in a crack and replaced it with mortar. All work was done with hand chisels and tools. Mortar was custom mixed on site to match the color of my house. They removed items from their way, including patio furniture, so it did not get dirty and damaged by falling mortar. They cleaned up extremely well including removing all debris, hosed off the patio, and wiped down doors. My old home was looking a little run down after 80 years, but looks brand new again, ready for another 80 years. They will be coming back to work on my stone retaining walls.

Great work. Very professional, friendly, prompt, conscientious. Would absolutely go to again for historic brick repair.

This is my second time using Brick By Brick, and I am even more pleased by the amazing work that they performed. The description of what Brick By Brick performed does not do the quality of work justice, but I will try. I have a large brick wall that runs along my entire basement, almost up to my kitchen. It was the single thing about my home that I disliked more than anything. Approximately 60% of the wall was covered with paint that had been applied between 7-10 years ago. Parts of it were white, while some it had yellowed. There was at least one layer, maybe two. I received a number of quotes for the project, and advice that was all over the map. A number of things stood out about brick by brick. First, they asked what my goals were. Other contractors told me what they would do, but few tried to understand what I wanted. Second, the quote was very competitive. They beat the price of a competitor that often gets reviewed on Angies List (I also called him in for quote, but I don't like naming others!) even though the competitor was not willing to do the work of actually taking the paint off (which was a key part of the project). The project itself took over 4 days. I observed much of the work, which included what seemed like endless scraping of the wall, literally brick by brick. The quality of the repointing work was fantastic, as always. Drahamane and his assistant were courteous, prompt, and did a great job cleaning up after themselves every day. I got so comfortable with the both of them that I was happy to leave them at my home unattended, which I have never done with another contractor. I can't speak highly enough of their work, or how nice everyone at Brick By Brick is!

Mr. Drahamane repaired the inferior work that was provided by someone else 6 months ago. He is very responsive and does the work himself--with great care that comes with his extensive experience in providing repair to concrete and brick work. He carefully matched the color of the mortar and duplicated the techniques of the original work done 65 years ago. He repaired a broken piece of the concrete exterior landing. It was done so carefully one would not know it had been repaired. It was a pleasure to work with Drummond and I would hire him again whenever I needed brick or masonary work done. He carefully cleaned up at the end of each work day. He was informative and educational as he explained what he was doing. A real gem!

Responsive, high quality service. Mason clearly knew how to best care for on an older house.

I was incredibly pleased with Brick by Brick. I received quotes from approximately four companies. The pricing was very competitive, and the work that they performed was outstanding. At one point the chief mason noticed that I was missing a couple of bricks on a separate wall, and installed a new brick even though it was not part of the original job. Attention to detail and a willingness to take an extra step were very important to me. I plan on using them again for another project.

I didn't contract with them. There was no reason why I didn't go with them, because I am not sure when I am going to do the project.

They are specialized on masonry and stone restoration, and the lead mason Mr. Drahamane is the one who does the job himself. That was very important for me, not like other companies that does lots of things and and quot;masonryand quot;. I did worked with a big company that you would see their trucks everywhere, they sent an estimator and then 2 workers came to do the job which it was very, very bad. I had to call them up and they sent another crew to repair and redo the job. And it did cost a lot. Brick by Brick is very honest, prompt, and experts on what they are doing. Mr. Drahamane took a sample of the mortar a day before the work was done, and matched the mortar that we have, as it is a 100 year old house. Mr. Drahamane also repaired some other areas that he thought it needed repair, and did not charged extra. The area of work was cleaned and tidy after the work was finished. Very professional. Would hire them again.
