My complex had hired a fencing company to install new fences. I needed to find someone to remove some bricks so they could replace the fencing posts. The fencing company said they might damage the bricks during removal. They recommended I find a contractor that could remove the bricks without damage. I left messages on Friday and Monday. Brian called back on Tuesday and was available to look at the job the next day. He was prompt and courteous. He said he needed see if there was mortar under the brick to determine the cost for the job. I agreed that he could remove a brick to look underneath. Subsequently he realized he did not have the proper tool to remove the brick, but instead used an alternate tool that he said would work. In the process of removing the brick, the brick was damaged along with another adjacent piece when he pounded on the bricks with a metal hammer. As he did this, he assured me he could replace the damaged pieces. Final result was that he would probably damage the brick during removal but he could replace it with matching brick. He took the time to explain the process and why he would have to damage the brick. I did not see his brick so I don't know how closely it would have matched. He quoted $75 for the job. He was nice enough to give me a rough estimate for replacing a rectangular concrete driveway 20 ft x 36 ft with average pavers without seeing the actual job site. [I wanted to know what kind of budget I needed before getting estimates] He gave a rough figure of around $5K. I decided not to hire Brian because the fencing company could remove the bricks at no charge; and I knew from experience that I could get similar brick at a local stone yard to replace damaged pieces. The purpose of hiring someone was to be able to preserve the original brick.

BRAIN WAS EASY TO WORK WITH, HE AND HIS CREW DID AN EXCELLENT JOB. MY ONLY COMPLAINT WAS THAT BRAIN IS SO BUSY WE HAD TO BE ON A WAITING LIST TO GET THE WORK DONE. ONCE IT GOT STARTED THEY DID A GREAT JOB, AND EVEN HELPED OUT WITH REROUTING THE WATER AND SEWER LINES GOING FROM THE HOUSE TO THE STREET.

BRIAN HAD A EXCELLENT CREW WORKING FOR AND WITH HIM. THE BRICK PORCH LOOKS GREAT, THE WORKMANSHIP IS BEAUTIFUL. THE NEW PORCH HAS BEEN MADE A WELCOMING PLACE TO GATHER, AND THE NEW WALKWAY THAT BRIAN AND I DESIGNED LOOKS GREAT.

THIS COMPANY DOES SUCH BEAUTIFUL WORK. THE BRICK WORK IS SO SMOOTH AND NICE. THEY SEALED IT ALSO SO IT WOULD NOT WEATHER AS FAST. THEY LISTENED TO WHAT IT WAS WE WANTED. THEN DESIGNED IT. WE WILL USE THIS COMPANY AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.

BRAIN DOES GREAT WORK. HE IS FAST FRIENDLY AND VERY PROFESSIONAL. HE WANTS HIS CUSTOMERS TO BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE JOB HE DOES. HE WAS ON TIME AND FINISHED WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD.
