"I needed emergency repairs to the outside of my brick house. The estimate from R&R was the most reasonable (most other masonry contractors refused to come out in the middle of winter or their estimates were outrageous). R&R wes able to start the work immediately and completed the work quickly. The crew was very pleasant and professional, and cleaned up after the work was done. Very pleased customer!"
"Other companies quoted me much higher rates and one completely failed to get the job done. MMT were complete professionals, a pleasure to deal with, prompt, and skilled. Iâ ll be relying on them for all chimney and masonry projects and would recommend them to anyone."
"Outstanding, Andrew took general guidance of what I wanted and came up with a solid plan that included a larger patio, room for a hot tub, built a great looking grill surround, tied patio into gazebo and great looking landscaping around patio and new fence. Received numerous quotes. Eql was lowest priced by 15%-20% and highly rated. Recommend them for all landscaping and hardscaping needs. Quality of work was superior to anything I have had done in the past at lower price"
We've lived in this (55 year old) house for the past 12 years, and we've always had to deal with a periodic water problem in the basement. and wet weather exacerbates the problem. A few months ago things became much worse when our poured cement foundation developed three leaks, allowing water to flow freely into the basement. I called in four or five contractors to recommend a solution, and I was most impressed by Adirondack's analysis, which actually called for less work than most of the others (and of course, less money). The other contractors all insisted that a floortile system be installed to direct water into a new sump system, but Adirondack felt that our existing French drain would serve that purpose. They installed their "Super Sump" system, piped outdoors into a bubble pot. Repairing the wall cracks wasn't possible due to the deteriorated condition of the cement, so they recommended BrightWall panels, which served two purposes: they cover the ugly walls (and brighten the basement) and force any leaking water directly below into the French drain. I've deliberately waited until now (six weeks later) to write this review because I wanted to get an idea of how their system would work. I'm happy to say that the system has worked beautifully.
I'm very happy with Adirondack. They were very professional to deal with, their estimator was experienced and didn't try to sell me the moon, and their work crew and job site supervisor were great.
"They poured a concrete slab for our hot tub. They were fully professional. Arrived when they said they would. Did the job expeditiously. Polite. No drama."
"Chad, and his team, did a fantastic job on the foundation of my home. They were very professional, polite, and did a very thorough job. His pricing was very fair with high quality workmanship. I highly recommend LaBello's Masonry and Waterproofing."
"Giacomo and his crew did a great job landscaping around my patio with boxwoods and flowers. He also finished the job with decorative stone. He cutout around my island, laid weed prevention fabric , spread #3-4 stone on the island.They showed up when he said he would. The crew did a great job of cleaning up when they were done. I highly recommend G&G landscaping."
"They came on time and it was done according to where the chimney needed attention. There was no problem communicating with the contractor. The chimney is practically brand new."
Handbuilt masonry fireplaces are likely what comes to mind when we think about curling up by the fire at the end of the day. But bricks in the firebox and chimney tend to be heavy, which is not ideal for homes with weak or damaged foundations.
Prefabricated fireboxes come with a full flue and chimney system, significantly reducing the price and installation time. However, if you need to replace the panels down the line, you are locked into the same model or something very similar.
Cobblestone fell out of favor with the advent of motor vehicles. Asphalt and concrete are both much smoother surfaces allowing for a smoother ride. Asphalt is also much cheaper, especially for driveways. However, we didn’t stop using cobblestone altogether, and you can still see it as a decorative option in both homes, in parks, and in pedestrianized areas of cities.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) recommends placing a mailbox 6 inches to 8 inches back from the curb. If your lot is unusual, speak with town authorities or the local post office to determine the correct placement.
The size of your pizza oven will determine the number of bricks necessary to build it. So the bigger your pizza oven, the more fire bricks you’ll need to purchase. Keep in mind that fire bricks cost about $3each.
Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.
