His work looks wonderful. He has a day job so he normally does it evenings and weekends. So it does take just a bit longer, but it is the most beautiful work I've seen. His cleanup was a little sloppy.
Description of Work: He did some brick and stonework on the front of my garage.

The project went mostly very well, and I am very happy with the results. He returned my call the same day and was out that same evening to provide a quote of $1,200. We scheduled the job for 2 weeks later. One glitch: He called me the night prior to the job and said it would cost an extra $150 because prices has gone up for cement and because there was an extra charge for a small load that couldn't be combined with a larger load. I agreed over the phone, but when he showed up I told him that I had thought about it a little more and that I didn't appreciate the surprise and that he should know his business and the costs to do business. We then agreed to split the $150 cost, which made the project $1,275. I then wrote him a check for $1,300 as I was very pleased with the outcome and quality of work. While I didn't get any other quotes, I believe he was several hundred dollars lower than others (comparing to the prices I have seen on mailings I have received thru the mail).

Excellent. Work was completely quickly, with great quality and high attention to detail.
