Description of Work: Keith is a stone mason. Our house has an attached garage that was converted to a room by the previous owner. The stone covering the area occupied by the garage door developed a long horizontal crack and the lower portion began to lean out. Keith removed the entire lower portion and found a totally insufficient footing below the lower portion. He created a steel rod reinforced footing and rebuilt the lower portion of the stone to blend in perfectly with the upper portion. Our ageed to price was on target and we are enjoying the efforts of his labors. We are no longer concerned about the lower portion collapsing and bringing down that entire section of the stone facing on the front of our house.

He is always here and I like him a lot. He's done work for me for many years. He is here 3 to 4 times a year doing work. I live in an old farm house so I always have projects for him. He is the best and there is nothing that he does professionally that anybody can do better. I've for a lot of other projects for him and I would absolutely recommend him without a doubt. He is a good, hardworking and honest person.
Description of Work: I used Keith Childs Masonry contractor in my house. He is actually doing a project for me right now. There was an improper window in my house that the previous home owners did and we returned it back.
