Chris did a great job and was easy to work with. He came out quickly and gave me a proposal right away. Once accepted he gave me a schedule. Chris stayed on schedule and completed the work on time. He power washed multiple times and cleaned windows from all the dust. I was very pleased with his work and would recommend him. I would definitely use him again.
Description of Work: Chris grinded out the mortar joints on our flagstone patio. He checked and repaired the flagstone and then repointed the joints. Finally he power washed the patio and surrounding area. He also repointed brick at our daughter’s house.

Chris is an excellent mason and a good guy. Our brick garage had a corner parapet and section of wall on top of the stone foundation that was badly deteriorated. He rebuilt the parapet and replicated the wall section quickly, efficiently, and with no mess. He reused existing brick and incorporated new brick into the repair where needed. It's a well-built repair that isn't noticeable at all. Chris is very responsive and his price is in line with the other top masons in the area we bid the job out to. Highly recommend.

Chris did a great job with the repointing. It looks great, and he was quick and professional. This was a small job, but I will absolutely hire him again if I need more masonry work done on my house.

Chris was professional, easy to work with and responsive.. Planning out the finished product beforehand was not his forte, but he responded to our feedback and concerns on site and appropriately problem solved the best way to complete our side entrance step. The end result looks good and we would recommend Chris.

Chris came and did the work himself. He was professional, the stone-pointing is clean and matches the rest of the house, and he took care of the underlying leak which had originally led us to the job. We'd hire him again and I've already recommended him to my family members.

I live out of state. I had multiple bids on this repair and Chris's bid was as fair as can be. Chris ALWAYS got back to me on time and was able to schedule the job in a timely fashion. He even sent me pictures of the repair work and it instantly improved on the curb appeal to my house as well as fixed any problems of any unwanted critters getting into the house. Like I said I live out of state and I have renters so I needed someone I can trust. I could not of been more thrilled with the results and if/when I need anymore masonry work, Chris will be my first call.

Chris was very professional, he gave me an initial estimate for the steps and repointing work and came in slightly higher than another contractor who was going to use a rake joint on the foundation. Chris impressed me by choosing a weathered joint that is more applicable and better at shedding water off the stone then the rake joint. we scheduled the work for the first week in March, however, snowstorms kept us from starting until the first week in April. chris started by demolishing the existing, crumbling steps the first day, came back the following day to build the forms, poured the concrete the third day and had it done in 4 days all while chipping away old mortar in the foundation to prep it for the new mortar to be applied. He was very thorough and meticulous. we had family come into town the second week and he promised he'd be done within the week. He made good on his promise and finished on time and without intruding on family time. He's a one man show and he does it all with ease. Thanks Chris for giving the facade a brand new look.
Description of Work: Initially, we hired Chris to come re-pour our failing entry steps but we added repointing on a stone foundation and the rebuild of a stone pillar

Chris was great from start to finish. We initially reached out to Chris in the beginning of 2015 for an estimate. He was very responsive and came out right away to meet with us and provided and estimate within a few days. We decided to hold off on the work for a while and reached back out to Chris in the spring of 2017. He got right back to us and gladly provided us with an updated estimate. Chris does all of the work himself. This was a huge positive, knowing that he would be on the job himself each day, He is very meticulous and has great attention to detail. He was open to our feedback and provided good ideas on how to install certain things. He was very respectful and left the outside of the front of the house clean each day he was finished. This was a huge transformation, and the front of the house looks great with the stone veneer that Chris installed. Will be reaching out to him again for additional work in the spring, including working on a flagstone patio.

Great! He got the work done quickly, and paid attention to details (like matching the colors of the bricks for the hole he patched, and getting the color of the mortar right so that the places he repointed didn't stick out!)

I needed this work done in a very specific time fame and Chris worked it into his schedule, he showed up when he was supposed to and finished when he said it would be completed. The walls look amazing, no more crumbling wall and dirt on the basement floor. I would definitely recommend Chris...and already have!
Description of Work: My basement walls were in very bad shape and needed to be scraped and parged. Additionally there was some old paneling along one all that needed to be removed.

Everything was seamless. Chris responded promptly to my request for an estimate. He provided me an estimate within just a few days of my request. Chris was very professional and answered all my questions and responded to all my communications promptly. The job was completed when he said it would be and all clean up work was done. The chimney looks great. I would definitely use Chris again and would recommend him to family and friends.
Description of Work: My brick chimney needed repair. All the mortar joints were grinded out from the roof to the top. On the lower part of the chimney missing mortar joints were pointed to seal out water penetration. The vertical seams where the siding and brick meet were sealed with a flexible caulk to allow for expansion. Flashing around the chimney was caulked to seal out any water infiltration.

My chimney was in bad shape and needed to be fixed. I call Chris and let him know what the inspector said. He understood what needed to happen. We scheduled a time and Chris was communicative during the process, we had a couple rainy days. Chris came out, did the work, and sent me a picture which I forwarded on to the inspector. Overall, great job.
