It went splendidly. He answered my call the first time, came out that day and provided an estimate, and had the job done within the week. He cleaned up the mess and it all looks great.

Derek was quick to respond, arrived on time for the scheduled repair time, and did a great job of repairing the brick foundation walls. He cleaned up the area when completed and did a visual exam of the rest of the house.

Mr Benson was here at all times he said he would be. He thoroughly explained the procedure that would be performed. He also gave other suggestions that would be beneficial in dealing with standing water in yard. He arrived at the time he said he would to complete my request. He cleaned up after himself leaving everything looking so much better. He delivers exceptional work at a reasonable price. I am so pleased with my choice.

The time Derek spent with us was a true learning experience. We will defiantly have him provide our pointing on the exterior in the near future. I was very impressed with his knowledge.
Description of Work: Derek came out to our house to look over the brick foundation and exterior. He was very professional in informing us about our home. He told us where there were areas of concern but it was something that we could do for ourselves. That was a pleasant thing to hear. We then asked him about an estimated cost of pointing our exterior brick. He gave us a price and it was in the range that we it would be.

Description of Work: Benson Masonry came out to look at a possible chimney tuckpointing job. Since I've been having problems with a leaky basement causing limited flooding, a basement specialist from Family Solutions, said he thought the problem was a tuckpointing issue,not leaking walls or floor. So, when I called Benson, I assumed I was in line for a tuckpointing job. Wrong. Derek from Benson took a look and said the problem was not with the tuckpointing, but one of sinking ground around the foundation. He made several suggestions, and saved me the cost of home repair. He could have easily said he needed to tuckpoint part or all of the chimney. He didn't. An honest man. Thank you, Benson Masonry.

Derek tuck pointed the entire chimney. He also ground out and tuck pointed the cement cap of the chimney. He took the time to explain in detail exactly what the issue was with the chimney and what he did to resolve the problem.

Our home is 100 years old and has a lot of brick work, including a front entrance that is done with paving bricks. We had mortar crumbling and an area where the brick entrance had settled. Derek tore out the settled area and relaid it. He had done several other homes in our area so I was able to check references before we committed to the work. He was very quick on the estimate and was on the job within 24 hours. Had the entire job done within 2 days. Very pleased with his work.
Description of Work: Repaired brick wall and entrance way. Raised an area that had settled and tuck pointed the exterior entrance area and steps. Also repaired and tuck pointed a brick wall beside the entrance way.
