Sparks Masonry & Concrete

I have used them before. Bob Sparks is great, but I am not too impressed with the relatives, who work with him. The problem is that sometimes he wants to hand off the projects to other people, who are his family members. They may be trained masons, but they don’t do the same job as he does. If he wants to do it, it is great, but if he wants to hand it over to somebody else, then, I will look for somebody else. I usually spend $5000-$10000, but in the last couple of years, I spent about $800-$900. He is definitely somebody I would call again and I would refer him to others as well. His price was fair.

The sidewalk was a small section so he did it by hand.

He was able to break up the concrete in such a way to retain the historic look of the brick edging. He called several times to give updates and to let us know what was going on. His prices were fair.

Everything was fine.

EXCELLENT JOB. BOB WAS A REAL PLEASURE TO WORK WITH, AND BECAUSE HE HAD JUST FINISHED A BIG JOB, HAD THE CHANCE TO RESPOND AND DO THE JOB RIGHT AWAY, WHICH WAS IMPORTANT TO ME. HOWEVER, I AM GUESSING HE IS USUALLY IN VERY HIGH DEMAND, AND IN THE FUTURE I WOULD CHOOSE WITHOUT A DOUBT TO WAIT FOR HIM TO GET TO ME.

I HAD CALLED SEVERAL MASONRY COMPANIES FROM ANGIE'S LIST FOR REPAIR ESTIMATES. SPARKS MASONRY WAS THE ONLY COMPANY INTERESTED IN BIDDING ON THIS SMALL REPAIR. IF YOU HAVE A SMALL TO MEDIUM MASONRY JOB, SPARKS MASONRY IS THE ONE TO CALL. BOB SPARKS DOES EXCELLENT WORK AT A VERY FAIR PRICE. HE PERFORMED THE WORK IN A TIMELY FASHION AND LEFT THE AREA CLEAN & TIDY WHEN HE WAS DONE.

I HAD USED BOB ON A PREVIOUS JOB AND AT THAT TIME WAS VERY SATISFIED, SO I CALLED HIM FOR ANOTHER PROJECT. I WILL NOT USE HIM AGAIN!!! HIS QUOTE WAS HIGHER THAN ANOTHER I HAD CALLED, BUT THEY WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE TUCKPOINT JOB WAS SLOPPY (MORTAR ON THE BRICKS) AND I HAD TO CALL HIM BACK TO TRY AND GET THE MORTAR OFF. HIS SECOND ATTEMPT WAS NOT MUCH BETTER THAT THE FIRST. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE FAULT OF THE BRICK FOR NOT BEING SMOOTH, THAT THE MORTAR WAS ALL OVER IT. HE BROUGHT IN KEITH COOPER TO TUCKPOINT THE CHIMNEY, AND IT TURNED OUT EVEN WORSE. ON THIS PART IT WAS ALSO THE FAULT OF THE BRICKS FOR EITHER NOT BEING THE RIGHT SHAPE OR PREVIOUSLY BEING PLACED IN CROOKED. OTHERWISE, THE MORTAR WOULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN ON THEM. AN OVER ALL BAD EXPERIENCE.

THIS IS THE 3RD TIME WE HAVE USED MR. SPARKS. HE RETURNED OUR INITIAL CALL PROMPTLY, AND GAVE AN ESTIMATE THE SAME DAY OF THE INITIAL CONTACT. HE INITIATED THE WORK THE FOLLOWING DAY, AND WAS FINISHED IN 3 DAYS. THE PRICE WAS FAIR, THE WORK SATISFACTORY, AND HE CLEANED UP ALL DEBRIS.

THE WORK DONE WAS EXCELLENT AND VERY ECONOMICAL. MR. SPARKS WAS ON TIME AND WORKED STRAIGHT THROUGH TO COMPLETE THE JOB.

HE IS REAL NICE TO WORK WITH AND DOES REALLY GOOD WORK.

I HAVE A ROUND STRUCTURE WHERE MY KITCHEN IS WHICH NEEDED THE REPAIR. AROUND THAT AREA, I HAVE A FEW PLANTS AND SOME STONES WHICH NOW HAVE CONCRETE ALL OVER THEM. HE COULD HAVE EASILY PUT DOWN A GROUND CLOTH WHICH WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THIS. NOW I HAVE TO CHIP CONCRETE OFF THE STONE. THESE STONES WERE NOT CHEAP AND THIS WAS A SENSELESS THING THAT HE DID. OTHER THAN THAT, I THOUGHT HE WAS EXPENSIVE. THE WORK THAT HE DID WAS OK THOUGH.

VERY FAVORABLE. HE WAS A VERY KIND MAN AND SEEMED TO CARE ABOUT HIS WORK. HE WANTED TO DO A GOOD JOB.

VERY GOOD WORK. I HAD TO CALL TWICE TO ARRANGE AN ESTIMATE, BUT HE WAS PUNCTUAL, PROFESSIONAL AND DID GOOD WORK.

BOB IS RELIABLE AND VERY PERSONAL. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED IN A VERY SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

SLOW RETURNING CALLS, BEING THAT IT IS ONLY BOB SPARKS.

I WAS VERY SATISFIED WITH HIS WORK, HE USED THE ORIGINAL BRICK THAT I HAD. HIS CLEAN UP WAS GREAT, HE DID EXACTLY WHAT HE SAID HE WOULD. I HAD QUOTES THAT WAS $1500!!

HE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. HE WAS VERY CONSCIENTIOUS OF SCHEDULING.

BOB IS THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY AND DOES THE WORK HIMSELF. A VERY NICE GUY WHO SCHEDULES JOB BY JOB, NOT FAR IN ADVANCE. HE FINISHED THE JOB IN TWO DAYS AND CAME BACK FOR A TOUCH UP SEVERAL DAYS LATER.

PERFORMED QUALITY WORK AND WAS EASY TO DEAL WITH. WOULD NOT HESITATE TO USE AGAIN.

HE DID A FINE JOB. HE WAS HIGHER THAN ANOTHER BID WE GOT, BUT HIS PRICE INCLUDED COMING BACK TO DO THE SEALER. ALSO, WE HAD TO PLAY TELEPHONE TAG FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS.

I HAVE USED HIM FOR VARIOUS PROJECTS FOR THE PAST 5 OR 6 YEARS. HE ALWAYS DOES A GOOD JOB.

OVERALL GOOD EXPERIENCE. HE DAMAGED SOME PLANTS AND THERE WERE DISAGREEMENTS IN SCHEDULING, BUT HE DISPLAYED MORE CREATIVITY IN HIS ESTIMATE, AND THE WORK WAS DONE VERY WELL

MR. SPARKS RETURNED MY CALL FOR AN ESTIMATE IN 24 HOURS. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED LATER THAT WEEKLY. HE WAS PROMPT, COURTEOUS, PROFESSIONAL, AND CLEANED UP AFTER HIS WORK.

OUR BRICK GARAGE WALLS HAD HOLES WHICH WE BELIEVED WOULD NEED MASONRY REPAIR. BOB LOOKED AT THE JOB & DETERMINED THAT WE REALLY NEEDED A CARPENTER - & SUGGESTED AN EXCELLENT COMPANY (FROM ANGIE'S LIST) TO DO THE WORK. HE COULD HAVE QUOTED US THE JOB WE ASKED FOR A LOT MORE MONEY, BUT INSTEAD HE ACTED IN OUR BEST INTERESTS BY SUGGESTING THE WORK WE REALLY NEEDED TO HAVE DONE - WITH SOMEONE ELSE. WHEN WE LATER DETERMINED A NEED FOR MASONRY WORK, BOB RETURNED & GAVE US A FAIR QUOTE ON A SMALLER JOB, WHICH HE COMPLETED IN ONE DAY. HIS WORK LOOKS GREAT & WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY. HE IS HIGHLY RATED ON THE ANGIE'S LIST FOR MASONRY & NOW I KNOW WHY.
