Galati & Sons Tuckpointing

It was very good. They responded to me very quickly. They gave me the bids right away and they were very professional. They were very competitively priced.

We had a significant amount of tuckpointing that was required on our home. The work they did blended exceptionally well with the old mortar. Only someone who was really looking could find the spots. This is not an easy task on older brick to get this to match so well. They showed up on time and when the weather didn't permit work we were always notified. Not only did they do exactly what they promised, but went a little furthur. In addition we had them seal the brick to help avoid future issues. All in all we were satisifed with the work and would recommend them to a friend.

The quality of work was good. The workers were a bit rough on the outdoor lighting fixtures and window screens. Company worked with us to the get the problems fixed.

I spoke with a woman on the phone to schedule someone to come out and she sent someone to come out and evaluate the work.

They showed up on time, did the work effeciently and cleaned up after themselves.

We were very happy with Mr. Galati's response to our request for an estimate.

Good response for estimate, but the estimate was quite high (especially "waterproofing"), with extra added on for every small thing. Decided to go with a different company

We had some problems at the back of the house where the motor was flaking out. They came and repaired all that. They sealed the brick for us. They did a very good job.

Crew of four arrived at 7:30AM on first day and worked until 5:30PM. They completed the front porch and partially completed the garage. Front completed porch was cleaned (spotless) and the walk around the partially complete garage was swept clean. They completed the garage by 2PM on the second day and left the whole area as clean or cleaner than when they began.

They were very prompt in coming for the appointment to do the estimate. They gave us a good estimate of when they would be out to do the work and they called two days before to let us know. They were professional and did a good job.

they wer very professional and responsible.

Everything went extremely well. They showed up on time, cleaned up every evening, and did an excellent job. I plan on using them for any masonry needs I have in the future and highly recommend them.

The man who did the estimate was punctual and knowledgeable. They didn't give much notice when they called to schedule the work, but were agreeable to scheduling on a date and time that worked for us. They actually said that we didn't need to have work done that someone else (on Angie's list) said we needed. Their work was good and my only complaint is that one of the workers used a cell phone while on our roof. When asked if we were satisfied with the work by the company rep, I reported this. She indicated her dismay and she said this would be addressed.

Very professional. Great service.

Dan and his team had done some work for me prior to this job (spot and then whole house tuckpointing). I had a GREAT experience and didn't look for anyone else when this job began. Dan made sure I was comfortable with the bid and took time to explain everything to me during that process. His team lead was terrific and the quality of the workmanship, their attention to detail and customer service are amazing!

He seemed especially knowledgeable. He gave me a local, hometown sense. He gave me the feeling that he kept close tabs on his crew. His estimate was higher than the others, which was why I didn't use him.

Extremely professional and timely. Everything looks brand new...huge difference. Dan Galati was excellent at managing the project and he was good about keeping us up to date.

The work was done in very professional manner. Nearly all of the arrangements were handled by phone so I didn't actually meet Dan Galati until near the end of the job. We talked often by phone. He was very trustworthy and gave me frequent updates on the progress of the work. Dan had to come up with a creative solution to my problem and then execute it, which he did in a great fashion. Part of the job involved metalwork, and Dan identified Metalworx to do that part of the job. Dan acted as the contractor with the metalwork as a subcontractor, which made my life much easier. Dan assured me that the job site would be kept clean and neat every day, and it was. I would definitely use Galati & Sons again.

See above description of services.

The entire experience was exceptional. The estimate for work was received promptly. The owner of the company made himself available on a Saturday to come over to answer our questions. After one bad tuckpoint job, we were very skeptical and wanted to clearly understand the work to be performed. Their workmanship exceeded our expectations. Our chimeny is on the front of our house and is the focal point. It is no longer an eye sore. Clean up of the job site was also fantastic. You would not have known a work crew was there it was so clean. Matching of the motar color was another plus since it was the work was only from the roofline up. The top and bottom half of the chimeny match color and motar joints.

Our 40 year old house had begun to separate due to settling. We had to have 32 piers put in to stabilize the foundation. Due to the settling, the rear of the house's brick fascia had separated from the house and several bricks had fallen off. There were major gaps in several areas of mortar and it appeared one whole area of the house had totally shifted. After the pier work was completed, we had Dan give us an estimate on fixing the damage to the bricks. I felt the damage was permanent and the house would never look the same. Dan was EXTREMELY professional and explained the whole process and assured me they would be able to fix the damage. When they came out to assess the damage, they found other places around the house where there were large gaps in the bricks from the settling. I opted to have them fix those areas also. They completed the work in three days, did a great job in cleaning up afterwards and the finished product was fantastic. I no longer am concerned about possible negative ramifications upon selling our house the damage may have brought. The young gentleman who performed the work was very professional and also very pleasant. I like to ask a lot of questions about how things work and he was more than willing to explain things to me. Dan had been recommended by several people in the construction industry that I trust so I did not even get other bids. If I ever need any other services that Dan offers he will be the first one I call.

Company responded right away, I had an estimate within a week and the estimate was about half the price of the other bids I had received. While my house is small some of the estimates I received were over $10,000. Galati & Sons estimate was under $6,000. Initially I was told they could not start for 2 months, but a month later they called and said they could start the next week. They arrived on Monday morning and had the job completed in 4 days. At the end of everyday working they cleaned everything up to the point you couldn't even tell they had been there. Completed work was very clean and nice looking. I highly recommend this company. Date of work was fall 2008.

Good response to our initial inquiry. Gave a written bid with all details, arrived on time, finished all the work in a single day, cleaned up after themselves, both inside and out, and responded promptly when we discovered the following day that they'd missed one spot. That was attended to quickly as well.

They were great, they came out and gave us a bid and they had competitive prices. They did the entire house and they did very good work and we were very pleased with the work that they did. They showed up when they said they would and we were having family reunion when they were doing the work and they were good to work around us.

Jimmy Hayes at Galati was really great to work with - we needed to schedule the front porch after having a pier installed. They worked with us to complete the bulk of the job on the main house first, and were very patient when our contractor for the piering was delayed, further delaying the porch tuckpointing. They arrived on time when they said they would be at the house, cleaned up SPOTLESSLY (This is a biggie in my book when brick dust can get everywhere.), and the work was done professionally. The house looks better than it has in years!
