I called Wayne Null and asked him if he could come out and look at the mortar and brick problems I had and give me an idea of what needed to be done. He did this promptly and called to tell me what he found and what he recommended that should be done to fix the issues and to make the house look much better without it being obvious that the repairs had been done. He said that in rebuilding the wall that they would use as much of the original brick as possible, which is what they did and it looks fantastic. His crew was very nice and they worked diligently once they started to get the job finished. They power/acid washed the brick to clean the excess mortar off and give the house a fresh look. There had been ivy growing on the house for years and there were a whole lot of dead vines stuck to the brick all over the house and chimney. They painstakingly removed all of those to do the repairs they needed to do. Wayne told me at the start that curb appeal was what he focused on when making repairs and that's exactly what he did. The house looks 100% better now. They didn't take any shortcuts and did everything thoroughly. They really pay attention to detail and do a great job. He didn't ask for any payment until I was completely satisfied with their work. Very professional and nice to work with.

From initial estimate to project , both friendly and professional. Proved pictures of work and stages. Only thing that could have been better was they could have been more prompt with sending the bill.

I called Fox and scheduled a meeting for an estimate. The technician was on time and friendly. I explained that I had a stack of bricks which were left over from the original bricking of the house. He showed me that there was much more damage that the little hole in the wall. He explained how they would perform the repairs and discussed when they would do it. I explained that they need to be careful not to let my dogs loose - the corner of the house is also the corner of the fence. He gave me an estimate and we parted ways. The crew showed up on time and began work. I was able to see the progress each day after I came home from work. I saw that they were installing the metal retainers that hold the wall to the house, the mortar fully covered the bricks and the outside was perfectly concave and they kept the work area clean. When it came time to go around the corner, they pulled up the T post and moved it in some to clear where they needed to work yet still keep the dogs penned it. Some time during construction, we lost power, and these guys just fired up their generator and kept on working. I guess nothing was going to stop them from meeting their timetable. Once the work was completed, they gave the new section an acid washing, to age the new grout to match the color of the old. Then they reset the T post and put fence back almost like it had never been moved. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of the work, their work ethic, and the fact that you can't tell that there was ever any damage. If I ever need any more brickwork, this is the company I will call.

I spoke to Wayne over the phone and arranged for him to look at the situation and give me an estimate. He came by and walked around the exterior of the house with me as we noted areas that needed to be repaired. He outlined a plan for repair involving going around the house and focusing on the lower half of the house, which is where the work needed to be done. He said that he would have the loose mortar removed and new mortar put in its place. Also, lots of bricks would be replaced and some earlier repair attempts by another group would be fixed the right way. Within a week to ten days the work was started, and it lasted about a week (not including the weekend). The gentleman who did the work was very friendly and helpful. He put up with my basset hound barking at him occasionally and was very respectful of our property. He had to trim some of our hedges to get to the bricks. I am very pleased with the results. I wish I had called Fox Brick and Stone earlier rather than trying "amateur hour" and getting amateurish results. I would sincerely recommend Fox Brick and Stone. They know what they are doing.

The work was quoted and scheduled very simply. He gave us good advice about our historic home. The mortar had dark coloring added to it, and he added it to the repairs to keep it from standing out. The work was done on schedule and very much to our satisfaction. He was not the cheapest bid, but he gave us the most confidence that he would do a good job and we were not disappointed. I would suggest this company for anyone with a historic home or for those that want a high-quality job. Since this job, we have scheduled additional work.

Fantastic quaility. They used an iron mailbox inside the brick that has a magnetic closure. I love it.

Great service done fast and right the first time. Very courteous to deal with.

They were able to match the brick of our house. They didn't take very long to do the job. They were very responsive.

A Fox technician arrived as scheduled, examined our fireplace- which was in very poor condition with several loose and or missing bricks in the firebox- asked several questions, advised us on exactly what he was about to do and then proceeded to methodically deconstruct / reconstruct our firebox and repair the damper. A few days later when I received my invoice, I was also impressed to receive a step by step photo log of the work done. I feel this job was done with professionalism and is of top quality.

Tremendous experience from start to finish. Everyone we dealt with was considerate and their masonry skills were excellent. They did more than they originally planned to do, and everything was done to the highest standards.

Everyone I dealt with at Fox was a true professional. They explained the work, provided clear updates and got the job done in a timely manner.

Wayne was very knowledgeable. He was very concerned with quality in a way that demonstrated that he takes pride in his work. This may come at a slightly higher price than some other contractors. However, the attention to detail would probably be worth any extra cost. Much to my chagrin, my husband wished to use another contractor. (For this particular application, my husband was more concerned with cost vs. quality.) If the opportunity for brick work arises again, I would opt to use Wayne and just not mention it to my husband until after the work was complete.

After finding this company on Angie's list, and looking at their website, I called to inquire about their service. Wayne was the person to whom I spoke, and he was very thorough, efficient, and truthful. He said that their website needed to be updated, so he sent me some newer photos of their mailbox work, via e-mail. He told me the cost would be $1250, and when I was ready, to call and let him know and he would order the house number plate, which, he said, would take about three weeks to come in. He said they would invoice us once the job was done - no money up front, just the promise it would be done right. In the meantime, they would begin the "footing" work. He said he couldn't give me an exact time line, but when all was said and done, the timeline was really on target for the information he provided. They came once to see our house brick color and where the mailbox would be set. Then they came to bring the house number plate and begin the footing work. Next, they left three samples of brick on the porch (we weren't home), which were numbered. Wayne called a day or two later and asked which brick we preferred since we didn't have the exact brick color available to us. I gave him our choice, which was a very good match, and the next day, by day's end - wha-la! - we had a new brick mailbox. It really is beautiful; the mailbox itself is a very heavy gage steel, large, and of excellent quality. I was concerned, once the new box was in how we would get the old mail box, which was standing next to the new one, out of the ground since it had been in cement. Lo and behold the next day, the old one was gone! They came back and took it out for us without being asked. What a pleasant surprise that was. There was never a mess, no sign they had been there except for the beautiful new box and some fresh dirt (which was leveled and neat) where they had dug. Bravo to Fox - they deserve an AAA rating. Outstanding workmanship and service.

Everything went perfectly. Wayne was very knowledgeable and professional, and he billed the price he quoted. It took about five days to complete. They were able to match the brick on my 1929 home exactly and I was honestly amazed at the results.

Job went very well. This company was extremely responsive! The salesman was very positive, thorough and cheerful taking my order. They had a temporary replacement mailbox in place before sunset the same day I contacted them, and they started work on removal of old ruins and pouring of complete footing (unlike previous job had been) for new mailbox. The brick mason took great pride in his quite artistic work. Unless you have specific other druthers, they install only top quality metal mailboxes (full, heavy-duty hinge / full-finished paint job / even a nifty magnetic closure)! At my request, they had the mailbox up within about 5 days, and the plaque followed (as soon as they received it from the stone-cutter) about 5 days later. I'm very pleased with the workmanship and responsiveness!

These guys are really good. Dale was the brick Mason who did my job. He was professional and did really nice work. Wayne quoted the job for me. He was knowledgable and addressed all my concerns. The only complaint that I have is that it took a couple of calls to get him out for the estimate. Not a big deal.

The old walk had to be taken out, very laboriously. Then bad weather impeded work, so it took longer than had originally been expected, but the results are very nice.

They did an outstanding job. They are a professional masonry company that I would recommend without any reservations. They were the highest quote I got, but well worth it.
