In May 2011, the homeowner spent $2,500 with Birkenheier to completely remove and rebuild the steps. In 2005, they spent $1,175 with Birkrnheier to initially build out the steps. So that is $3,675 invested over six years, and the stairs were again falling apart when we moved here in 2012.
In spring 2013, I called Birkenheier to come out and look at the condition of the steps. I expected to hear something like, "These steps have not held up and this does not meet our standard of quality work." But they didn't. They said, "The snow and elements causes the mortar to expand and contract and the bluestone to deteriorate, and you need to have this repaired, at a cost of $1,075."
Do you really think I'm going to have you come and do another shoddy patch job, Mr. Birkenheier? It's like throwing money down a well.
In sum, very poor quality of work, high prices, and no sense of quality, "making it right" or even, "Hey, I'll throw in a 10 percent discount since my work didn't hold up."
