"Thank you [Member Name Removed]! Great working with you too!!"
When I called to schedule the appointment I received a call back from Jimmy in 0.5 hours. He was able to stop over later that day and I had a quote from him the next day. He answered all my questions and explained the process in detail. A crew of 3 arrived at the scheduled time and began erecting the scaffolding. They were friendly and courteous. They ground out all the mortar and started pointing the first day. They were finished the second day and everything was cleaned up.
The chimney looks great. He changed the mortar color so it is a little darker and looks good with our house color. I highly recommend this company.
I wish that all of the contractors we have hired over the years could have been this competent and agreeable.
Back patio: irregular flagstone patio taken up, stone saved & reused, some new stone added; stone reset in random pattern in concrete sand & cement w/small ratio of 1/2 chip stone; joints repointed in brown concrete sand & cement; borders along side railings remained in place and were stabilized; railings were set in hydraulic cement to stabilize; area under porch remained as is; job site cleaned to original condition. - $5850
Foundation wall: stone foundation wall along side of house repointed. - $1450
Quality of work is outstanding. Front steps area went from looking like disaster to looking like brand new. Flagstone patio was literally falling apart - stones could be lifted by hand and weeds were growing between stones. (You can see this in the photo, also see that some stones had already come off around the edge of the patio.) Railing was wobbly. Railing now stable and the patio is just beautiful - we can finally use it again! O'Neill Masonry knows stone work. Foundation pointing impeccable. Jim is a total professional, extremely easy to get hold of, very very responsive, and a super nice guy. His crew is respectful and very hardworking - they show up early and work hard all day long. Once they start on your job, they don't stop till it is done. I have a lot of landscaping around my patio and front steps and the plants were minimally impacted by the work. The lawn near the patio did take a hit because a tarp had to be laid out as a work surface and the days were super hot but that was pretty much unavoidable. Every day at the end of the day the worksite was cleaned up neat as a pin.
I would not hesitate to hire O'Neill Masonry again, and likely will in the future.
O'Neill Masonry's bid for this work was in the mid-range of bids I received. One bid was nearly twice as much, another was about a thousand less but (a) was an individual, not a small business with a crew that must be paid and (b) I had trouble getting hold of them and they could not schedule the work until several months away, whereas O'Neill scheduled us within weeks.
The patio and front step cheek wall work were the original bid, the foundation work was an add-on after work had begun. I don't know what other companies might have bid for the foundation work. I was just glad to have it done - it really needed done - by people I could see were doing good quality work, and get everything done all at once.
In sum I am extremely happy with the work done and with my decision to hire O'Neill Masonry.
