tuck pointing and chimney repair
Description of Work: I received and estimate and Chris was great. Very professional and the estimate was very detailed. I’m sure they do great work, but I just couldn’t afford them. I was able to get some quality work for a lot less.

Description of Work: One of the best communication experiences I have had. Thorough explanations and he attempted to give me the best deal possible; however the amount of work needed was so extensive that I will not be able to afford the work for quite some time. Terrific company! Would recommend to anyone requiring masonry work.

WHEN WE FIRST SPOKE, HE SAID HE DID THE TYPE OF WORK WE NEEDED DONE. WHEN HE CAME OUT FOR THE ESTIMATE, HE SAID HE DID NOT DO THE WORK. HE MADE COMMENTS ABOUT THE HOUSE THAT WE WERE ABOUT TO PURCHASE. HE SAID THINGS LIKE "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE GOING TO BUY THIS HOUSE." I WAS NOT HIRING HIM TO TELL ME THESE THINGS. I WANTED REPAIR WORK DONE.

THEY WERE TO COME OUT AND GIVE AN ESTIMATE FOR CHIMNEY TUCK POINTING. AFTER TWO WEEKS I STILL HAD NOT RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE FROM THIS COMPANY. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY GAVE ME A CELL PHONE NUMBER TO GET A HOLD OF THE WORKER DIRECTLY. HE TOLD ME HE WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND HE WOULD STOP BY AND DO THE ESTIMATE. THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO, STILL NO ESTIMATE.
