Starting out, they did not show up on the day we expected them. As it turned out, on the following day, they did the work they had planned for two days in one day. They showed up early in the morning, tore down an old, stone column mailbox, and reconstructed a new one by the middle of the afternoon. We were very pleased with the quality of the construction. They left the work area clean.
Description of Work: Removed existing, damaged, stone column mailbox. Rebuilt column with usable stone and added new stone across top to complete. New mailbox provided by owner.

Went very well. Most companies we called instantly balked upon learning that it was a 2 storey chimney. Clayton Diehr gave us a good bid, and did the work very well. He pointed out some bad work that had been done by our chimney sweep in a previous repair attempt. Clayton was very prompt, and courteous. A great contractor to work with.
Description of Work: Rebuilt our 2nd storey limestone chimney from the roofline up, including redoing flashing to waterproof it. Repaired numerous sections of our exterior limestone repair. Repaired various limestone retaining walls. Built a beautiful limestone hearth in our living room.

I was very happy. He was pleasant to work with and flexible with my schedule.
Description of Work: I had a10 foot exterior brick wall that had pulled away from the house and there was a gap between the wall and the window and another gap at the top of the wall. Clayton said there was possibly a small lift in the foundation, and I was worried it was going to be an expensive job, but after I having the foundation and structure inspected it turned out to be a simple problem. I called Clayton back 2 weeks after his first visit and he came over the next morning and fixed it very inexpensivlely. I appreciated his honesty and for recommending the inspection before he fixed the wall.

Very well. According to the schedule he provided. Very good work.
Description of Work: We needed fireplace / chimney repairs do to damage caused by another contractor. Clayton was prompt in providing an estimate. His work followed the schedule he provided up front. They did great work and the final cost was in line with the original estimate. He ended up taking out our rusted firebox and installing a firebrick fireplace. He added an outside fireplace that utilized the same chimney and he built the flues for both fireplaces and the accompanying chimney. His masonry guys also finished out some stonework.

Called this contrator for an estimate for some front yard and front siding stone work. Talked to him on the phone. He advised me to send him a picture of the house so I did. He said he will stop by the house in the next day or so and do an estimate. He also mentioned that he charged a "fuel surcharge" for the estimate. (I knew that was a bad sign already). Contractor never showed up for estimate. Have not heard from him since. I am glad he did not show up because there was warning signs going off in my head already. I found another masonary contractor on Angie's List and currently he is working on a $7000 job and I could not be more happy.
Description of Work: NO service performed because contractor never followed up.

Response from Diehr Masonry
Member, I regret the mis-communication and wish you had taken the time to call me. I went back over my work log and saw that you had been crossed off - I do this when someone has not responded to me, has gone with another contractor or the job has been completed.. I also would not have charged you a travel charge since you are located only a few miles from my home. I only do this if I am called out of town to do an estimate (30 miles or more) and this is only if the bid given is not accepted. If it is I will deduct it form the total. Again I am sorry for the misunderstanding, because I know I also could have done an excellent job.

I called Clayton on a Friday at 4:45 PM. He promptly called me back that evening. He came out on Saturday to give me a bid on my rock column mail box that had been hit by the City of Austin Garbage truck. He had a guy come out on Sunday morning and the repair was done by 11:00 AM on Sunday. He is great. I highly recommend this company!

The work went very well. Both the wall and the slab were isntalled on schedule, and the price was the best among eight people that bid the job. I've already used Clayton Diehr for other work.

Great! On budget, on time, great job.
Description of Work: Clayton found a brick that was very similar to the brick on our house (which was built in 1980 and the brick is no longer being made) and used that to fill in a couple of doors and windows that we no longer wanted. He did a great job and it's very hard to tell where the doors and windows used to be! He also built some brick colums for us for our new deck which also match the house. It looks great!

Clayton Diehr did a fantastic job. He arrived for the estimate exactly on time. He sent us an email with the estimate within 24 hours. He scheduled the job within a week of our accepting the estimate. We were concerned that the work we needed was in extremely visible areas, so we wanted to hire a mason that would match the look of the limestone and mortar. Several of the reviews on Angie's List mentioned the great job Diehr Masonry had done in matching existing brick, limestone and mortar. On the day the work was done Clayton arrived on time and did an incredible job. He was also very careful to protect the areas around the fireplace and the front fascade. He cleaned up the job site of any excess mortar, etc. We are planning an extensive landscaping project. The project involves the creation of some limestone walls. We plan to use Diehr Masonry for this project due to the excellent experience we had with Clayton and his company. I would highly recommend Diehr Masonry and Clayton Diehr to anyone.
Description of Work: We needed the masonry repointed on the front of our home. We also needed some changes made to our fireplace. Both surfaces were limestone. The front limestone fascade had three small cracks in the mortar. The fireplace had an area that needed another limestone stone added to make it look right.

This was such a small job. This company was the only one to agree to do a small job. After he agreed to do the job, he did not give me an exact work date. He did mention he had another larger job to finish. I called him the following Friday and he said someone would be out by 8:30 on an exact date. They showed up an hour late but that was no big deal to me. They did the work, The front of the house looks great and I really don't have any complaints. I am just grateful they took my small job.

Clayton did an outstanding job fixing our sinking deck. Other contractors wanted to tear up most of our deck and charge a lot more for the job. Clayton knew exactly how to fix the problem with minimal amount of destruction and cost. His work is impeccable. We couldn't have asked for more. Most contractors don't want to waste their time on small jobs but Clayton not only didn't mind he did the job with as much care and consideration as if it were a 10,000 dollar job. He was prompt and courteous...we would highly recommend Clayton for any job you may have.
Description of Work: Repaired and Replaced portion of sinking deck around pool. Matched slope of existing deck perfectly. Rock work done beautifully!

He did a really great job and I'm really happy the way he did it. He did a perfect job in doing the repair and fixing it. The guy was very nice and very willing to do the other jobs. He even fixed my gate and didn't charge me anything for that. I would recommend him highly.
Description of Work: I had Diehr Masonry do three or four brick steps between my drive way and my front walk. He did a couple of other little things as well which was not a part of what was originally said.

Great price, great job on the project. Definitely cheaper bid than just about everyone else, but it is clear that Clayton knows his stuff. He perfectly matched stone, handled a couple complicated curves and worked with us to make sure it was the way we liked it. I'd have a hard time believing there is a better mason out there or a better price. Great job!

it took longer than expected but Clayton did a great job with everything and stuck to his quoted price despite the work being harder and several days longer than planned. he showed up every day at 8 am until he was finished and never tried to cut any corners. the patio and walkways look fantastic and built to last. Clayton had several ideas which dramatically improved upon what we planned to do, saving us money, improving the appearance and increasing the safety of the play areas. his idea to use 8"x8"x22" drystack stone instead of railroad ties for the perimeter of the playscape was amazing. no splinters, no rotting wood, no oozing creosote and it looks 10 times as good. everyone else suggested some version of railroad ties/landscaping timber..... we couldn't be happier and wholeheartedly recommend Clayton. we look forward to using him for our next project.
Description of Work: ~700 sq. ft. of paving and masonry work to create 2 sidewalk/walkways a large patio area and an enormous playscape area in our backyard.

Clayton expertly matched the 12 year old discontinued brick and even I would have a hard time telling where the repair is. He charged me significantly less than the quoted amount since he needed less materials than he expected. Now my home's elevation is strong, well constructed and looks great! The whole repair only took three days from start to finish. Clayton cleaned up the area and even repaired a small piece of concrete on my porch for free. Easy to work with, cheerful and prompt, I would highly recommend Clayton and his team!
Description of Work: The elevation on a corner of our house was poorly constructed leading to the bricks sagging and the concrete crumbling underneath. A large half-inch long seam had opened up along 10 feet of the house. Clayton reconstructed the entire corner, 20 feet of brick up to the roof.

Had a crumbling exterior wall cinder block. It was along an exterior window frame. Mr Diehr went back to the store and picked up a different color cinder block when the first didn't quite match. When he was done I couldn't tell which one he had replaced. Great job.
