ALEXANDER MASONRY

Description of Work: He tuck pointed our brick chimney and replaced the "cap seal" (not sure if this is the correct term). The old mortar had degraded. He ground out the old and replaced it with new mortar. The top of the chimney had an asphalt/fiberglass seal that he also removed and replaced. The workmanship all appears to be good quality. He came at the appointed time to provide a free estimate. He gave a quote of $2000 and said the job would take 2 days. I told him I thought it was too much and he said ok and left amiably without argument. We had a hard time finding anyone else who would take the job so we called him back. He came on time, finished the job in one day and cleaned up the roof nicely. So, completely satisfied with the work. | |I might not be giving a fair grade on the price. The grade is based on comparison to quotes I received from 2 other construction companies who were going to do the chimney repair in addition to some other work for a lower total cost. But in the end, I could never get either of those companies to actually come perform the work.

Description of Work: Restoration and repair of brick basement foundation of 100+ year old home.

Description of Work: Guaranteed that they would be able to fix the water coming into our basement in two areas. They dug up the ground on the outside and applied tar to the foundation wall, then filled it back in. It did not fix the problem - in fact, it seemed worse.

Description of Work: I called Alexander Masonry, Cambridge, Iowa, about some work needed on the brick foundation of my house on the north side, below the siding. He told me which day he would come out and look at the job and give me an estimate. He never showed up and never called back. Since that also had to be done before cold weather (involving concrete) - I spent 5 hours doing the job myself (although I had just had surgery a few weeks before) as the temps were heading down below freezing and it was on the north side of the house.

Description of Work: Did some tuck pointing done on two corners of the foundation on my 100 year old home. Also did some chimney repair, and repair on the basement window sills.

Description of Work: James replaced two clay block foundation walls that were badly bowing w/ concrete block and also replaced a four foot tall brick facade surrounding our house that was literally falling apart w/ brick that matched very well.

Description of Work: I called them for chimney repair.
