Abstract Masonry Restoration

Job well done! Timely, professional, first rate work.

The bricks on my building are light yellow. They used replacement bricks that were black and stood out like a sore thumb. After contacting them about the problem, and after a couple of billings, a supervisor came to take a look at the job and agreed that it was terrible. He explained that his workers had started the job before he got there and that they had used replacement bricks from one of my non functioning chimneys that were jet black from soot. He replaced the bricks with some that he brought. They were a different size and still not a good match. They left a pile of brick dust on my flower beds and failed to clean up under the work they did around the building.

It went pretty well. They came when they said they would. It took a long time to get them but they told me upfront that they were several months out. It’s not like they just didn’t show up but they were busy and took a while to fit me in and that happens when you are dealing with a company in my high demand.. I only did part of it because it was too expensive to do all of it. The biggest difference e in terms of other companies that I have looked out was that a lot of the other companies just scribbled a number on the back of a card or something, which didn’t seem very business-like. They were pretty specific in what they were going to do and that made me feel little more confident that I understood what was going to happen and what wasn’t going to happen. In that way there wasn’t a lot of room for misunderstanding. I just wish the price was a little bit less. I live in a small town, which is north of Salt Lake City, so it is about an hour’s drive and that increases the cost. I understand it but it is frustrating.

They did a fantastic job of cleaning the brick on my house. There was a lot of white staining under the gables and staining in other places, and now it is all the same color, and much brighter. I hired someone else to remove the staining a couple of years ago, and they failed, and I also tried to remove it myself without any success, so I am very pleased with the results.

My chimney was also falling apart and they did a great job of rebuilding it. They matched the color of the original mortar perfectly, so you can't tell where the new mortar starts. They also poured a nice concrete crown, and the chimney looks great.

They were friendly, prompt and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend them.
