I called Mr. Woodard and explained what I needed done. I had extra, clean bricks available for him to use. He gave me a quote over the phone and set an appointment for the next business day. When he came to the house, we discovered the plumbing repair job was not correctly done, so he left again. After I had the plumbing problem corrected, I phoned him again and he came by two days later. Both times he arrived a little earlier than the time he had scheduled. He went right to work, did a neat job, did not leave any mess behind. I felt that his price was fair and that he made it easy for me to get this little chore done. He was polite and personable and professional both on the phone and in person.
Description of Work: I needed brick replaced on the exterior of our house where a plumber had to take it out to repair a broken hose bibb faucet.

I was impressed with Monty's on time arrival and his cleanliness. He was also attentive to detail enough to let me know some of the replacement bricks I provided had some mortar on the face and suggested I find some cleaner ones. Luckily, I had plenty to choose from and they all matched the old brick well. I was a little worried the mortar he mixed was too dark to match the old mortar. But after I acid washed as he suggested and it has cured, it continues to lighten and I think it will be fine. I gave a B on quality because the lines of the new brick are a little off (curves upward in the middle). I didn't notice it at the time of the work, and it's not noticable enough to bother having the work redone. My wife says I am too much of a perfectionist. I feel I got a good job for a good price.
Description of Work: I had removed a small round window and all the surrounding brick, as well as a dryer vent. I had all the old brick removed and the replacement brick ready to go. Monty gave me an estimate over the phone and was able to come out the next morning to install the brick. My home originally had black mortar that had faded over the years to a gray. Monty had to put some black dye in the mortar to try and match it. He worked quickly and cleanly and was done in about an hour and a half.

We called Monty Woodward for an estimate, which he promptly provided after an initial visit. We obtained two other estimates from your list of contractors and decided to accept Monty's bid. He had to drive to the Acme brick facility in Denton, TX (approx. 50 miles+) to pick-up the new brick. The next day, he and his helper were on the job first thing and completed the re-building job by mid-afternoon. We were very satisfied with the job & workmanship. He even helped us with replacing a new battery in our car!. All in all, we would certainly consider Monty for any other masonry job in the future and would recommend him to others. Please note: our neighbor who was responsible for the damage approved of Monty doing the job and paid the full amount. He was certainly pleased with the completed job which we appreciated.
Description of Work: Rebuilt our brick mailbox which had been knocked-down & destroyed by a neighbor's truck.

It was easy. I called for an estimate on a Friday morning, he came Friday afternoon. Explained everything, gave us a Angies List discount : ), and came back early Monday morning, made both repairs. Cleaned up everything and was gone before noon. Awesome!!!
Description of Work: We had a crack running from the slab of our custom all brick home up to the roof. It was a very thin crack, (the slab was not affected,) but we were concerned that water and changes in the weather would, over time expand the crack. Monty replaced all the bricks that were involved, removed all the old grout, sealed the entire area and then regrouted everything, matching the new grout color was well. He answered all my questions and explained what he would do and why. You cannot even tell a repair was made!!! Then he also regrouted our wood burning fire place "firebox" area, where we had loose or missing grout. So the amount charged was really for 2 separate jobs, that were both done very throughly.

Monty called immediately and then came out within a few days of my email (I was in no rush). He began work the next day and was finished quickly and with minimal noise/dust. Matching brick to a 1938 house is impossible but he took the time and effort to get it extremely close. I feel like we got a much better bang for our buck with him than other quote we got.
Description of Work: Monty bricked in a doorway we walled over during a recent remodel. He also made some repairs to exterior of our house.

I recommend Monty wholeheartedly. On a scale of 1-5, he gets a 10. We are happy happy happy with the work. I called for an estimate and he came when he said he would. His estimate was more than fair.He was very honest and up-front about everything. He has a very pleasant personality. He works smart and fast. Plus, he cleans as he goes, so it all looked nice the entire time. By smart, I mean that we were unsure about how to finish off the columns, but he was able to come up with a solution that was even better than we had envisioned. You can't go wrong with Monty.
Description of Work: He built brick columns for our new porch. There were 6 in all, and he finished in 2 days.

Would defintately use him again!

Monty Woodard, the mason mender. He was on time and the price was reasonable. He did an excellent job.
Description of Work: Replaced a 4'x4' window; making that area a complete brick wall. I had our bathroom inside completely redone but that 4'x4' fixed "window was a problem on the outside. The area is now a complete wall. You can't tell there was a window ever there.

i called Monty on a Friday to get an estimate for some masonry repairs. he returned my message within an hour and said that he could come by that weekend and take a look at everything. He looked at the various masonry voids, etc. and said that he could it for $200. We both agreed on this price. He said that he could come by to do it while I was at work that week. He said that if I had any questions after the job that i could give him a call. He performed the work and did an outstanding job. I inspected everything when I returned home from work the day he did the job and i had no complaints. I am attaching before and after photos of the main repair. There were several other smaller spots around the house that he fixed.

I contacted Monty last Monday or Tues, 2/16/ or 2/17, about getting an estimate for the work. He was able to come out the same day I called, and called back with an estimate shortly there after. The price was right and we were able to get the work done today 2/25 in less than a week. Did an excellent job! Great overall experience!!

This is the third time we've used Monty. We live on a well-traveled street and on a curve, so, it seems, we and our neighbors are always replacing our mailboxes. This time it was totally demolished right down to the sidewalk. We called Monty again, and he came out the very same day and put up a temporary mailbox until he could install the permanent one. He gave us an estimate, which was satisfactory, and a time and date he could do the work which was also satisfactory.On the specified date, he showed up on time and had our mailbox finished by noon complete with a flower box. It looks great. He did an excellent job matching the brick to the brick to our house. He then hauled off all the old pieces of brick--there were few whole bricks to be found. Upon completion of our mailbox, even though it wasn't in the original agreement, we asked if he would look at a corner of our house which was cracked at the base. He ended up filling in the crack and cementing the entire corner. Again, he did an excellent job, and charged us only an additional $50 (which I have included in the entire amount).We will definitely hire Monty again as he has always pleased us with his work and professionalism.
Description of Work: Needed a completely new brick mailbox with planter and also a crack near our house's foundation fixed.
