hardscaping
+ -1 moreI have 20 year old paver patios and sidewalks that needed some significant repairs. Owner Dave and his crew are very knowledgeable and did a terrific job. Workmanship was excellent and communication was as well. Pricing was very reasonable. There are a lot of new paver installers, but if you need brick paver repair, this is your contractor. Highly recommend Northern Brick!!
Description of Work: Needed pavers, pulled, leveled, and reset in several areas. Also needed corner of elevated patio pulled and repaired. And finally needed landing at based of steps coming out of house completely rebuilt. This was not easy work.

+ -1 moreExcellent work at a fair price. Dave and his staff were polite, dependable and very easy to work with. He was very flexible with several last minute requests and always seemed to have our best interests in mind with his suggested changes; he clearly knows his stuff. He returned phone calls promptly and accommodated our schedule. Our patio looks better today than it did the day it was installed!! Highly recommend Northern Brick!

+ -1 moreDave responded quickly and gave us an estimate and some good suggestions. We had him do some previous work and liked his work. He dug down a foot and filled it with crushed limestone and then laid the pavers on sand and put cement around the edges. Excellent job !!

+ -1 moreLess than 12 hours after I contacted the contractor that referred me to Northern Brick, Dave called me first thing in the morning to make arrangements to stop at my house on his way to another job. I had only one spare paver, but Dave found one in my patio under a flower pot that was a closer color match to the broken one, so he put the spare in the patio, replaced the broken one, and reset a couple nearby pavers. All work was done within about 10 minutes for no charge; he only asked that I give him a call next spring if I decide to do some additional repairs. Very professional and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: I have a circular paver driveway and was referred to Northern Brick by another company because I needed one broken paver replaced.

Description of Work: Cedar works, (for which I am the owner) has recommended Northern Brick to our customers for their brick needs for years. Their services include everything from minor brick repair work to complete custom patios. They perform excellent work and have wonderful customer service. I have received much praise for their work over the years and have no reservations about recommending them to all of my customers.

+ -1 moreIt has gone terrible and I am very disappointed and honestly even sad about this. I actually liked him.
Description of Work: I am very disappointed in the way my communications with David, the owner, have gone. It is a let-down that I even have to provide this feedback since I do like David as a person and enjoy speaking with him, but that is as far as I have been able to get the situation to go. If I am not mistaken, I believe this is the fifth spring I have tried to get him out here to do my job? It might be the fourth, but I have actually lost count? I don't think anyone should have to wait this long! I know he had a medical problem that he said prevented him from doing my job last year, but I still do think he should have either contacted me when it was resolved or sent someone else from his team to do my job while he supervised in light of the way this has gone. He always tells me he is busy, but should he not put my job first before the others that make his schedule so conflicted? If he didn't want to do the job, why didn't he just tell me? Why keep coming out and keep this communication going for so long and putting me through stress over a paving job? Yes, I know I could have or should have had someone else come out to do the job. But I waited because I genuinely wanted him to complete it and wanted to give him another chance; somehow I did think he would do a good job in the end. But this situation is just something I have never been through with a contractor before, and I am more disappointed than I can possibly convey that I have had to go through all this. I can't imagine what response he could put as a reply to this feedback, as there is no possible reason in my mind to make a customer go through such a situation. Again, he could always send someone else since on his team? I have tried to be patient, but I am upset as I sit here and write this in thinking of the way things have gone. I have always been pleasant and easy to get along with, always trying to understand his reasons for not coming out to get the job done. What more can a customer do? And should they have to? I don't think so. I am putting this review on Angie's List because I don't want to see anyone else go through this. It has caused me a lot of upset and I am further upset I even have to put this review on Angie's List at all.

+ -1 moreIt went excellent. Dave and his crew showed up on time. They immediately went to work and worked steadily for four full hours. Each knew and understood their respective roles and helped eachother when needed. Dave is very skilled and knowledgeable in assessing how to repair porches and steps. He asked me to review each area they had worked on to make sure I was satisfied with the outcome. The quality of work is excellent. Dave is a hands on owner. He doesn't just quote the job. He is on site the entire time leading the work flow and doing the more challenging work himself. The guys cleaned up everything thoroughly. Pricing is very fair. I would recommend them highly and would hire Northern Brick again.
Description of Work: Rebuilt three brick paver steps and porches that had eroded and sunk. Also repaired other random areas where paver bricks had sunk.

+ -1 moreDave Carter (the owner of Northern Brick) was very prompt with communications right from the start. He came out for a quote, showed many photographs of his beautiful work, and later brought over brick samples. Dave patiently answered my many questions. He explained the importance of using limestone as the sub-base for the patio. Dave is impressively knowledgeable and meticulous. Our new patio looks beautiful and we trust it will last! Dave and his assistant were very professional, and so nice to my three year old who wanted to and quot;helpand quot;. Dave kept us informed of his progress, and cleaned up entirely at the end of each workday. Dave went above and beyond with our project. We were surprised when they found a second concrete slab under the first. They removed and hauled both away. Dave dug down extra to bury our electrical conduit two feet below the patio. He kindly agreed to use the additional soil to level out some low spots around our house. After the patio was complete, Dave brought more soil up to meet it and put down grass seed. We are very happy!

+ -1 moreI've had my paver porch and walkway for 23 years and they were badly in need of repair. I contacted Northern Brick and Dave came to my home to give me a quote. Since I was at work, he called when he arrived and thoroughly explained what needed to be done and left me a quote. He sounded very honest and knowledgeable,so I hired him without even meeting him. I am so glad I did!! My porch and walkway look AWESOME!! Better than they did when first installed. He and his crew are very pleasant,professional,meticulous and knowledgeable. At the end of the day, all tools and materials were put away and the area was immaculate. They took great care around all the landscaping. I was not able to be home during the construction,so Dave called daily to report his progress and plans for the following day. I also like the fact that he answered his phone when I called. The one time I had to leave a message, he returned my call in minutes. My repair took 3 days and Dave did not ask for payment until the job was complete. It was a pleasure to do business with Dave and I would hire him again!

+ -1 moreAn update to my previous review: Since leaving my review, David has since set up an appointment and made it to the appointment on time. At the present time I'll not be using his services as my job is more involved than what he normally does.
Description of Work: I contacted the owner of the company two or three times. Was very much interested in them doing a patio installation for me. He (David) does not return calls as promised. The last call I made was to inform him that I was still interested in the project and wanted to know if he was going to be able to review my project. He promised he would schedule an appintment. 10 days later and no appointment. I know it is a very busy time for them and I was willing to wait later into the season for the project to begin.

+ -1 moreWe selected Dave to build our new brick patio because he had done an excellent job three years ago repairing our existing brick patio and walkways. They still look like new. The new patio was in a challenging location with complex drainage. Dave made some excellent suggestions and the new area drains perfectly. He also contributed to the overall design concept and helped select the brick. Northern Brick LLC is a small company but executes like a big one. The work was flawless and timely. He kept us informed at every step. He has done work for our neighbors and they are all very satisfied. When you use Dave, you understand why you can't scrimp on the foundation and expect your brick work to hold up over time. He is so knowledgeable he should have his own reality TV show on one of the home improvement channels.

+ -1 moreWe had some pavers installed about 7 years ago and noticed some were raising above the walk and others were coming loose. We called Northern Brick for a quote to do these repairs. Dave promptly responded to my request. Of the 3 businesses I called he was the only one to respond. I suspect that the job was to small for the others to be bothered. However Dave did provide a quote and a start date. He then called me back later and again confirmed the date he would start. That date was met and the job completed on time and within budget. The quality of the work was excellent. Dave always made sure I knew where he was in the process of completing the work. I would highly recommend this company particularly for the small jobs that some of the larger companires don;t want. Their demeanor and professionalism make it a pleasure to do business with them

+ -1 moreThis past summer I solicited quotes to contract paver repair on my back paver patio, the sides of my front driveway and walkway, as well as repair a paver step. I contacted 6 different paver companies to quote the job. Northern Brick was the only company that came out the day they promised. Dave Carter met with me and while here for the initial consult, he provided a very good explanation of the job that needed to be done and the process in which he would complete it. He left the quote with me that evening and surprisingly was the only company that followed up on their quote to me. He was also the only contractor who seemed honest and would stand by their work. A very good first impression. Dave requested no money down or payment until the job was complete. That also gave me piece of mind knowing that until things were fixed to my specification, that I wouldn't be required to make payment. My repair took about 2.5 days. In those two days the team from Northern Brick was very friendly and respectful of my family and our property. Each night when they left, they left everything immaculate. Upon returning each morning they also quietly got to work. One morning I didn't even know they had started it was so quiet! We have been very impressed with Dave Carter and his team from Northern Brick. Our pavers look awesome now and they even solved some drainage issues because of their passion to get it done right.
