THE WORK WAS DONE IN A TIMELY MANNER, AND THE PROJECT STARTED AND WAS FINISHED AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. DAN TOOK OUR WISHES FOR A FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE PROJECT INTO ACCOUNT AND REUSED MORE EXPENSIVE MASONRY (I.E., SOME OF THE COMMON BRICKS AND LIMESTONE COPINGS) ITEMS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. HE ALSO KEPT US APPRAISED OF THE STATUS OF THE PROJECT WITH WEEKLY UPDATE PHONE CALLS. DAN WAS UP FRONT ABOUT WHAT DID AND DID NOT NEED TO BE DONE IN ORDER FOR THE PROJECT TO BE DONE ''RIGHT,'' WITHOUT WASTING MONEY ON UNNECESSARY FRILLS. ALL IN ALL, THE JOB WAS FINISHED WITHIN CLOSE RANGE OF THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATE AND LOOKS FAR BETTER THAN WE EVER ANTICIPATED. THE REBUILT PARAPET COULD BE MISTAKEN FOR ORIGINAL IN TERMS OF STYLE AND HEIGHT. DAN'S TEAM WAS COURTEOUS AND CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES ON A REGULAR BASIS. THEY WORKED 6 DAYS PER WEEK TO GET THE PROJECT DONE. WE WOULD DEFINITELY CONSIDER USING DAN FOR FUTURE PROJECTS!

COMPANY OWNER WAS QUICK TO RESPOND TO REQUEST FOR ESTIMATE AND SUBSEQUENT CALLS FOR SCHEDULING. STATED WORK WAS COMPLETED, AS SCHEDULED. GOOD INITIAL EXPERIENCE WAS BADLY UNDERMINED BY FINAL ASSESSMENT OF COMFORT & TRUSTWORTHINESS. QUOTED PRICE WAS $975 THEREBY AVOIDING $1K AMOUNT WHICH WOULD TRIGGER 5% ANGIE'S LIST DISCOUNT, = $750. LET WATER FLOW INTO BASEMENT, RUINING ITEMS ON FLOOR. UNPLUGGED DEHUMIDIFIER, LEFT LIGHT ON, NOT REALIZING I WAS AT HOME, CAME UPSTAIRS INTO LIVING AREA, LEFT DEBRIS IN BACKYARD.

DAN AND HIS GUYS WERE GREAT. THEY SHOWED UP WHEN THEY SAID THEY WOULD, OFFERED A REASONABLE QUOTE, AND EXPLAINED WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. THE WORKMEN SHOWED UP WHEN THEY WERE SCHEDULED, THEY CLEANED UP AFTER THEMSELVES, AND I WAS SURPRISED AND PLEASED WITH HOW FEW OF MY PLANTS WERE TRAMPLED IN THE WORK AREA. THEY WERE CAREFUL TO PILE BRICKS AND EQUIPMENT IN MY DRIVEWAY, BUT NOT BLOCKING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE NEW WALL LOOKS GREAT. A NEIGHBOR HAS ALREADY STOPPED TO REQUEST DAN'S CONTACT INFO, AS HE WAS IMPRESSED WITH THEIR WORK.

DAN O'BRIEN PROVIDED AN EXCELLENT ESTIMATE WITHIN 2 DAYS. HE WAS VERY RESPONSIVE TO QUESTIONS AND EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE. WE DECIDED TO GO WITH A COMPANY THAT HAD MORE EXPERIENCE WITH NEWER BUILDINGS, BUT I WOULD HAVE FELT VERY CONFIDENT SELECTING NORTHSOUTH.

DAN AND HIS CREW WERE TERRIFIC! FIRST, DAN PROVIDED US WITH SUCH A VERY DETAILED AND PROFESSIONAL BID THAT RIGHT AWAY GAVE ME CONFIDENCE THAT THEY WOULD DO A GOOD JOB. HE MENTIONED ITEMS THAT THE OTHER THREE COMPANIES DIDN'T AND YET HIS BID WAS SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN ANY OF THEM. THE WORK WAS DONE WITHIN THE DESIGNATED TIME FRAME. THE CREW CLEANED UP WELL EACH DAY AND AT THE END OF THE JOB. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE THEM AGAIN.

WHAT IMPRESSED ME ABOUT DAN WAS HIS WILLINGNESS TO SECURE THE REQUIRED PERMITS IN OUR VILLAGE. EVERY OTHER CONTRACTOR I SPOKE WITH STATED THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF SECURING PERMITS WAS ON THE HOMEOWNER. SECONDLY, DAN WAS VERY RESPONSIVE WITH RETURNING MY CALLS. DAN WAS QUITE DISAPPOINTED BY THE STRICT REQUIREMENTS OF THE VILLAGE AND BECAME QUITE UPSET, THOUGH HE KEPT HIS WORD AND COMPLETED THE WORK! HIS WORKERS ARE SKILLED CRAFTSMEN, VERY APPROACHABLE AND POLITE. THE ONE MINOR COMPLAINT WOULD BE THAT THEY NEED TO CLEAN UP A BIT BETTER. OVERALL, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND NORTHSOUTH. THERE ARE WAY TOO MANY COMPANIES IN ANGIE'S LIST THAT HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING THERE, NOT NORTHSOUTH!

DAN AND HIS CREW DID A GREAT JOB OF REPLACING 8 STEEL LINTELS THAT SUPPORT THE DECORATIVE COURSE OF FACE BRICKS ABOVE WINDOWS (TYPICAL OF MANY BRICK BUILDINGS BUILT IN THE 1920'S.) THE LINTELS WERE ORIGINAL TO THE BUILDING AND BADLY RUSTED, PROVIDING VERY LITTLE SUPPORT TO THE LAYER OF BRICKS ABOVE. DAN'S MEN CAREFULLY REMOVED THE FACE BRICKS ABOVE THE WINDOWS, REMOVED THE RUSTED LINTELS AND REPLACED THEM WITH NEW COATED STEEL LINTELS, INSTALLED FLASHING FOR PROPER WATER RUNOFF, AND REPLACED THE ORIGINAL BRICK USING THE SAME COLOR MORTAR. THEY ALSO INSTALLED ''WEEP ROPES'' TO WICK OUT ANY SMALL AMOUNT OF MOISTURE THAT COULD COLLECT BEHIND THE BRICKS. VERY THOROUGH JOB AND CLEANED UP WELL. WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM FOR THIS TYPE OF JOB. THEY WERE LESS EXPENSIVE THAN ONE OTHER ANGIE'S LIST MASON THAT ALSO PROVIDED A BID TO US.

DAN AND HIS CREW WERE GREAT! DAN PROMPTLY CAME OUT TO GIVE ME A WRITTEN AND DETAILED ESTIMATE. HIS PRICE WAS THE BEST OF THE THREE ESTIMATES I RECEIVED FOR THE WORK. HE AND HIS CREW SHOWED UP ON TIME EVERY DAY AND PUT IN THREE LONG DAYS OF WORK. DAN'S CREW WAS VERY POLITE, APPROACHABLE AND PROFESSIONAL. THEY CLEANED UP THE JOB SITE EVERY DAY. DAN ALSO CAME BACK TO FIX A SMALL SECTION OF TUCKPOINTNIG I HAD ASKED HIM TO REDO. DAN AND HIS CREW WERE VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY OF THE WORK. THE NEW GARAGE FLOOR AND THE TUCKPOINTING LOOK GREAT. I WOULD DEFINITELY USE NORTHSOUTH AGAIN.

NORTHPOINT WAS QUICK TO SCHEDULE THE JOB. THEY SHOWED UP ON TIME AND FINISHED IN ONE DAY. OUR CHIMNEY WAS IN POOR SHAPE AND WAS CAUSING A LEAK IN THE CHIMNEY. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN RESOLVED. I CAN'T COMMENT ON THEIR PRICING BECAUSE I WANTED THE JOB DONE QUICKLY AND DID NOT GET MORE THAN ONE BID FOR THE JOB.

THEY WERE EXCELLENT. RETURNED MY CALL PROMPTLY, HAD A QUOTE TOGETHER WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD, SHOWED UP ON TIME, FINISHED ON TIME AND WERE VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. OUR FOUNDATION LOOKS GREAT, AND THE PRICE WAS IN LINE OR LOWER THAN OTHER PRICES WE GOT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM, AND WILL USE THEM AGAIN.

VERY NICE ESTIMATOR. HE WAS VERY PATIENT AND INFORMATIVE AND DETAILED IN THE WORK THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. HE WAS ON TIME AND VERY COURTEOUS. I AM WAITING FOR THE ESTIMATE NOW.

WE HAD ONE MISCOMMUNICATION WITH DAN REGARDING A SECTION OF THE HOUSE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TUCKPOINTED. UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T NOTICE THE ERROR UNTIL THE WORKERS HAD FINISHED. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE OFFERED TO ADD A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS ONTO THE ESTIMATE. ALTHOUGH IT WAS CLEARLY DEFINED IN THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE, WHEN MY HUSBAND AND DAN INITALLY WALKED THE PROPERTY, THIS SECTION OF THE HOUSE WAS NOT MENTIONED AND NOT TUCKPOINTED. OVERALL, THE WORK WAS EXCELLENT, AND DAN WAS RESPONSIVE- HE HAD THE ADDITIONAL WORK DONE IN THE SAME WEEK. A FAIR AGREEMENT WAS MADE TO FIX THE MISTAKE, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND WORKING WITH NORTHSOUTH.

OUR CONDO ASSOCIATION BID OUT THE WORK ONLY TO ANGIE'S LIST FIRMS, AND DAN O'BRIEN'S FIRM CLEARLY BEAT THE REST ON QUALITY AND PRICE. DAN AND HIS TEAM WERE COURTEOUS, PROFESSIONAL, AND COMPETENT.

DAN WAS VERY PROMPT IN GETTING ME AN ESTIMATE AND THE PRICE WAS IN LINE, OR LOWER THAN OTHER TUCKPOINTER ESTIMATES RECEIVED. THE WORK WAS MOSTLY PERFORMED BY SUBS WHO DID DO A GOOD JOB, BUT COULD HAVE DONE BETTER CLEANING UP - I STILL HAVE DRIED MORTAR ON MY SIDEWALK. OVERALL, I'M VERY SATISFIED AND THE FRONT LOOKS 100% BETTER THAN BEFORE - DID A GOOD JOB MATCHING UP THE PROPER MORTAR COLOR.

IT TOOK A FEW PHONE CALLS TO CONNECT, BUT ONCE WE MET HE KEPT HIS WORD, WAS PROMPT AND DID GREAT WORK. A PROFESSIONAL THAT NEEDS TO BE ON ANGIE'S LIST SO OTHERS DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE UNPROFESSIONALS.

DAN O'BRIEN AND ALL THE MEN WORKING WITH HIM WERE VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON OUR BUILDING AND WERE CONSCIENTIOUS OF THE NEIGHBORS. THEY PROTECTED THE HOUSES NEXT DOOR TO US AND WERE VERY GOOD ABOUT CLEANING UP EACH DAY AFTER WORK WAS FINISHED. THEY WERE ALSO VERY CAREFUL AND SAFE. THEY USED HIGH QUALITY SCAFFOLDING SINCE THE SPACE BETWEEN OUR BUILDINGS WASN'T WIDE ENOUGH TO WORK FROM LADDERS. THEY SET UP THE SCAFFOLDING SECURELY SO THAT THERE WAS NO DANGER OF ACCIDENTS. THE BUILDING LOOKS SO MUCH BRIGHTER AND THE MORTAR JOINTS SO MUCH MORE SOLID. DAN IS VERY FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE BUSINESS, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WORKING WITH THEM.

A FEW THINGS STAND OUT ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE. FIRST, THEY PERFORMED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE WORK THAN THEY HAD ESTIMATED, BUT STUCK WITH THE ESTIMATED PRICE + A SMALL CHARGE FOR EXTRA MATERIAL. DAN AND I HAD DISCUSSED THIS POSSIBILITY BEFOREHAND. I WAS WORRIED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MORE OF THE CHIMNEY THAN HE HAD ESTIMATED. HE SAID THAT IF THEY HAD TO DO EXTRA WORK, HE WOULD HONOR HIS ESTIMATE, AND HE DID. THIS JOB TOOK LONGER THAN PLANNED, BUT THAT WAS LARGELY DUE TO WEATHER. HIS CREW HAD TO SET UP PARTIALLY IN MY NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY, WHICH WAS FAR FROM IDEAL. WHEN THE JOB WAS OVER, DAN BROUGHT MY NEIGHBORS A TIN OF COOKIES TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR PATIENCE. A SMALL GESTURE, BUT ONE THAT 99% OF CONTRACTORS WOULD NOT HAVE MADE.

BECAUSE OF HIS FOLLOW-UP, WE SELECTED DAN TO DO THE NECESSARY WORK. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, RESPONSIVE, AND COMMUNICATIVE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS AND GAVE US A DISCOUNT BECAUSE THE TIMING WORKED TO HIS ADVANTAGE. THE WORK WAS DONE WELL AND IN A TIMELY MANNER. HE ADDRESSED ANY CONCERNS AS THEY CAME UP.

WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. DAN O'BRIEN WAS ONE OF THE MOST CONSCIENTIOUS AND PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS I'VE EVER DEALT WITH. I AM THRILLED TO KNOW THERE ARE STILL TRADESMEN LIKE HIM OUT THERE.
