They were very high-priced. For what I wanted, it was $2800. I then got it done the next week for $300. The top block on my chimney must have come loose, it had shifted around in a windstorm, it was just sort of hanging up there. I had it resurfaced all the way down and then I had it painted. It...

"Jeorge rewired the entire house to code, replaced cabinets and counter tops in the kitchen, plumbing and other smaller jobs around the house. He did a great job and I really appreciated the fact that he always kept in touch, to give me updates on how the job was progressing. I was not living at the house at the time and I totally trusted him to show up and get the job done. He also took out his own time to explain things and to make sure I knew what was expected of him. His prices were very fair and I highly recommend him and would definitely hire him again."
