"Took the deposit and refuses to return it: Signed a contact with Florida Crete in anticipation of permits being granted for a lanai extension. Unfortunately the approval process for a 2 foot variance took much longer than expected and ultimately was denied. I attempted to contact company for several weeks to recover my deposit with no call back…After calling from a different phone number (seems they were screening my call), finally got a hold of Ruben, who indicated that the deposit would not be returned because “it has been more than 30 days since I signed the contract.” Now I have to go through small claims to recover both my deposit and the small claims filing fees instead of just dealing with Florida Crete directly. Attempted to give deposit in good faith and kept Florida Crete updated of the status of the permit applications on a weekly basis; never was I told there was an expiration date on the deposit (and is not written in our contract). More of a hassle than anything else to file all of the small claims paperwork, and speaks to how Florida Crete does business."

Koehler Homes, Jacksonville based. Serving all NE FL. Windows, doors, siding, and painting.
"I had a very disappointing experience with Koehler Homes. While the window replacement process was excellent and the manufactures window defects were addressed and ultimately corrected (Water was pouring into my home during rain events), the siding replacement and paint job fell well short of expectations. The contractor and installation technicians lacked friendliness, attention to detail and struggled with communication due to language barriers which required numerous calls back to the Koehler office which for the most part went ignored. Overall customer service was far below expectations and little to no follow-up was given, I had to do it all myself with calls to the office and the contractor directly. Fallowing the ‘completion’ there were numerous line items quoted that were not completed and I had to make repeated calls to get corrected facing charges for uncompleted and ignored work. This required me to request and argue for refunds and credits on my final payments of over 3,000 dollars. I would possibly use them for windows again but would look harder at other options and likely choose another contractor. For Siding and paint… I caution and urge you to go elsewhere and maybe even pay more as the work is not as advertised and numerous days of return (rework) trips were required."

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.
The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:
Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot
Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot
Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot
Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot
Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot
Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot
Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot
Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot
Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project
Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot
A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:
Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings
Freestanding stone or brick walls
Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces
Cement block basement or crawl space walls
Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.
Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.
