Very well. Mr. Woody had estimated a 2-3 week start date but was able to begin work within a week. He estimated that, when the work began, it would be completed in one day. He and his partner arrived as scheduled. We walked around the house to review the scope of work and to address any questions. Mr. Woody was quite thorough with his review of the work to be done and made recommendations for a better result. The work was completed in the late afternoon of the same day. The repairs were superbly done, in many areas to the point of being indistinguishable from the original mortar. Mr. Woody also applied caulk to some surface cracks to slow the aging process. The work area was cleaned. Mr. Woody then escorted my wife around the house to explain what had been done and to address any questions she might have.
Description of Work: Contractor was to repair/replace mortar of 50-year-old brick house (predominantly on the west side of the building), repair damaged concrete at a corner of the building, repair damaged stucco in a few locations, and patch three spalling bricks. Most of the repairs were due to age of the structure and everyday wear and tear. Special attention was directed to the area above the west-side window frames as the house has slightly settled, resulting in a 1/4 to 1/2" gap above the window frames. Applying sealer to the brick & mortar was not a part of the job quote.

Woody was great to deal with. He came out the afternoon I called him and gave me some ideas for the driveway. We talked about concrete versus asphalt versus gravel. He discussed some of the problems with all the mediums, but especially how difficult and expensive it would be to do concrete. After asking my questions, I came to the conclusion that the driveway just wasn't a feasible option. Woody was a great guy and we would certainly go with him on a project in the future.

Mr. Woody responded to my call quickly, came to the house for the estimate when promised, returned a call with the estimate when promised and did the work promptly on the promised date. He is a very quiet and serious gentleman. I would definitely recommend him and use him again when necessary. He also had good suggestions for other providers in related areas.
Description of Work: Replaced a section of concrete on a front porch area and tuck-pointed all sides of a large brick house. He was not willing to do any brick laying. The work took two days.

Found him on Angie's List. His bid for the chimney was the lowest and he's easy to deal with, pleasant as can be. Came right over and checked out the chimney and gave a quote. Said he'd fit it in in the next two weeks and he came back one week later. Did a beautiful job. Impressive. Matched mortar to color of stonework. Work is crisp and clean. Chimney looks new. Really is a craftsman. And he gave an Angie's List discount.
Description of Work: Mr. Woody tuck-pointed the chimney..but to look at it, you'd think he rebuilt it.

It went very well. Grover Woody arrived to provide the estimate right on time. He was very knowledgeable about all types of masonry and willingly answered a lot of my questions. While talking with him, I realized that I should have more work done than I had originally planned - not because he tried to sell me this work - because he had taken the time to answer my questions and I came to my own realization that I needed to have more work done. He did the estimate on a Saturday and came to perform the work on the following Monday because it was to be warm and dry and that is the weather he needed for this outside work to cure in the best way. He showed up on time for the work. He and his helper got everything done in one day. The tuck pointing and concrete repairs look great. It rained a couple of days after Woody was there and the water beaded up on my porch, steps, and driveway.
Description of Work: Filled large cracks in concrete patio and sidewalk to the patio, tuck pointed loose bricks on the chimney, tuck pointed loose bricks on the front steps and front porch, rebuilt parts of the concrete front porch below the bricks, sealed the front porch and steps, pressure washed and sealed the concrete driveway that is approximately 20' X 75'.

When I first called Mr. Woody for an estimate, fortunately, he was able to come out that day to look at my problem. He gave me options on how I could fix the problems and also gave me his suggestions. I appreciated the fact that he was able to come out so promptly and inspect my situation and also that he was able to give me an estimate at that time. He gave me a time frame as to when he could get to the work which was reasonable. I received a call within 10 days and Mr. Woody showed up as he promised. He and his worker showed up on time, completed the work in a most acceptable manner and made certain that the entire area was cleaned up when they finished. I was very pleased with the finished result. Job well done.
Description of Work: Mr. Woody performed concrete repairs around the perimeter of my house where the concrete had settled and there were large cracks in the foundation, the same being true with my back concrete porch and repaired a concrete step off of my back porch. He also patched my driveway and sidewalk in numerous areas and repaired my cracked and broken front concrete steps and concrete steps and wall going into my basement from the outside.

He came and gave me an estimate, but said it would be 2-3 weeks before they could get to it. He never smiled, but was professional. When the company I hired to do the wrought iron railing called them to coordinate schedules, Woody's said they weren't available for 6 weeks. My other company offered to do the cement job as well as the railing.

I accepted the estimate for the point-tucking and foundation repair in July and agreed to wait a few weeks until Mr. Woody was available. He started work on August 2 and finished on August 3. He and his assistant did great work. Since I was at work during the day, they stayed until I got home to do the work inside the house and even matched the crack-filling material to the color of the bricks. Despite the extreme heat, all the work (and the extras) were completed in two days and they cleaned up everything both days. All the extra work they did, like the cleaning, sealing, caulking, etc., was not even included in the charge.
Description of Work: Mr. Woody point-tucked the bricks on a 60-year-old, 1 1/2-story house and chimney and repaired stucco facing on foundation. In addition, he cleaned out an outside stairwell of accumulated leaves, dirt, bugs and worms; sealed the foundation after repairing it; caulked the separated basement foundation blocks inside and laid a new concrete section of a crumbling sidewalk.

Grover Woody came out give me a very reasonable price which was 50% to 100% lower than two others I got. I agreed to the work and he came out with his assistant on the day that was scheduled and at the time he said he would. He finished on time and let me examine the work before payment. He did tell me that some re-cracking might occur due to house movement and indeed that has occurred, but overall I am very pleased with the work done and the quality.

Mr. Woody was available right away to take a look at the job and give me an estimate. His estimate was extremely reasonable compared to the other estimates I received. He gave me an approximate time line for starting the job and did so as promised. He performed the job in a very professional manner and left the worksite clean tidy at the end of each day. Even on days when it looked as if it might rain, he showed up and got work done. I suspect many would have just assumed the day was a "wash out" and not bothered to come. He mad sure that he knew exactly the work that I wanted done and even brought me a couple of loads of topsoil for a gardening project I told him I was working on. Mr. Woody is a polite man with a great work ethic.

Mr Woody responded to our request to get an estimate of the work to be done and provided a professional work ethic and listened to what we wanted done and also provided his details as to how the work would be accomplished. His estimate of when the work would begin was delayed by work that he had to complete for another customer. With our patience and a few calls his work was done on our walls and driveway to a suitable completion.
Description of Work: Mr Grover Woody and his assistant performed work on our side stone walls along our driveway which needed tuck-pointing between the stones. Two long cracks on the driveway apron were caulked with a silicone elastomer. After those jobs were done and cured over a few days, the driveway was given a cure-seal.

Mr. Woody was prompt with coming to give an estimate, and he scheduled the job quickly. His helper arrived on time the day the job was to be done, with Mr. Woody arriving shortly after. They worked chipping out the loose concrete and, later in the day, he rang the doorbell and told me he was finished. He had repaired all of the areas, as well as filling in 2 parts of a walkway that were uneven. He had filled in several hairline cracks on the porch with white caulk, which I wasn't thrilled about. Later that same day, I noticed that the patch to the corner of the porch had ran slightly (with gravity), but it wasn't too bad. Within a month or two, there were quite a few hairline cracks to the major patch on the front steps, which I have to caulk and hope they don't fall apart again over the winter.
Description of Work: The front cement porch step was crumbling along with several other edges of the cement porch and steps. These were all repaired.
