Our HOA used Robert’s general masonry repair for the second time for maintenance of our 3 unit building. As always great job. Almost two month after our last project I noticed 3 windows that were not part of our project had caulk split from limestone. Texted Robert about the issue. Three days later problem was fixed without additional charge. Great communication. Guys do very High quality job. Professional and honest people.

I was getting water in my basement. Robert recommended tuckpointing a section of the exterior wall and caulking where the deck met the wall. Afterwards I had no water in the basement. He also replaced two limestone blocks that were just outside a pair of doors. Everything went well. He and his helper completed the work in one morning.

Great job! We were trying out crack filling as a lower cost alternative to installing drain tile. Since having the work done our seepage issues have stopped. I appreciated Robert taking the time to explain a bit about the nature of cracks in different types of concrete and the process of filling the cracks. After watching a bunch of YouTube videos, it was really helpful to have the process explained while standing in front of the cracks in my own foundation.

Robert and his crew, once again, did a great job on our repair work. This time, they took care of some work on our chimney (resurfaced the chimney cap, resealed the gaps around the limestone on the chimney, & tuckpointed the chimney), as well as cleaned up a little tuckpointing on another part of the house. Very communicative. Robert kept us in the loop with what was going on, and was punctual and courteous. This is our second time working with Robert and his team, and we are very pleased with the experience. While we are not looking forward to having more masonry repair work on our home, it is good to know that we have a professional that we can rely to get that work done quickly, and with the highest quality. Exceptional work from an exceptional contractor.

I have dealt with a lot of service professionals since moving into a new house this year. Robert and his team were easily the best people that I have worked with. This was the largest job that I have had done, involving the exterior of my home, so the quality of work was paramount. Robert was very informative and professional, and his work was outstanding. I have already recommended him to others and continue to do so.

Robert advised the only way to fix my cracked and deteriorating limestone wall caps was with grinding and patching with a specialty caulk. At first I was resistant to using caulk in such a noticeable place, but Robert and his employee Tony did such careful work the outcome was actually very good. I wish he had done my bathrooms too, frankly. Nice work, and Robert was on the job himself, always communicative, always on time, careful to clean up after.

Very pleased with the work. Robert took the time to understand the work we wanted done, and made sure that new bricks our job required matched the existing brick work. Additionally, he was more concerned, I think, with the job going right than getting paid. In addition to the work we requested, he provided some waste bricks to provide drainage, at no charge. So pleased. He and his crew were very punctual. On the day of the work, they were there spot-on 7:00 AM, unloading and getting to work. Very pleased with his communication, and follow up.
Description of Work: We had a large planter that was pulling away from the front of our house. We also had a decorative wall that was cracked.

Robert scheduled the work on an agreed date/time. He arrived on time and laid out clearly what needed to be done and an approximate time to complete the job. During the job, he periodically asked that we look at what was accomplished and if it met our approval. He was very friendly and courteous through out the day. We were very satisfied with the finished product. As a result of this job, we have asked that he do another job for us in the near future.

I highly recommend Robert's Masonry Repair. From the initial contact I made with him here on Angie's list to follow up emails and calls it was always very easy and straightforward to communicate with Robert. He was able to look at our projects quickly after contact. He provided a written estimate through email within 24 hours. Upon our acceptance of the estimate he gave us a timeline of when he could do the work and he followed through to exactly what he said. He is very knowledgeable and shows you in advance what needs to be repaired. We will be working with him on a chimney repair soon and he took photos of the areas that are problems so we could see what he was referring too. He is not an alarmist or trying to sell you something you don't need but he does give his professional opinion on what he would do if it was his house and why certain repairs should be done to maintain the structural integrity of your home. His lintel work and tuck pointing look great and we look forward to working with him in a few weeks on our chimney cap.

I had an extremely frustrating leak around the ceiling of our fireplace for nearly a year. I had the shingles replaced, the flashing and counter-flashing replaced and still the leak remained. Robert recommended tuck-pointing and a rubberized chimney cap and viola!...not more leaky ceiling. It's rained several time since the repair and I'm confident the issue is finally fixed. Call Robert...he'll do right and quickly.

I got several estimates for the chimneys and the wall, and Robert was the most thorough in his evaluation. His estimate was also the most reasonable. More importantly, he was the only guy who addressed the root of my "crack in the wall" problem, which was that water was getting into the cracks in the foundation and freezing during the winter, making the problem worse each year. He offered to fill the foundation cracks with an expanding plastic caulk. This was as opposed to one person who said I'd need to dig up the back yard, and another two who didn't say anything at all. And the chimney work was top-notch!
Description of Work: I had two chimneys in need of repair, a crack in the brickwork on one wall, and cracks in the foundation in the basement.

Everything went really well. After Robert looked at what needs to be done, he sent me a quote within couple hours. After that he always stayed in touch. The weather didn't allow to start work immediately, but he assured me that everything will be done within couple weeks. And this indeed happened :) He and his associate were on time. They fixed the masonry and even caulked a flashing on the roof.

Everything went well, Robert was in contact with me constantly because I happened to be out of town when most of the work was performed. We did a great deal of text messaging back and forth and I always knew I would receive a response within a couple of hours to any questions I might have had. When I returned he came over to show me all worked that had been performed to make sure I was satisfied. It was a pleasure working with Robert and I would recommend him to anyone looking for this service.

Robert was great about keeping us informed. He showed up on-time, did the job well, and cleaned up everything. He also ended up saving us several thousand dollars. We had originally thought the window was going to have to be replaced, but when he removed the sill and inspected the window, it was fine. We highly recommend Robert.
Description of Work: The picture window over our front door was leaking, and we noticed the sill had settled and was tilted towards the window. Robert removed the concrete sill and reset it so that it was pitched away from the window.

New brick installed, new cap installed, new flue cap installed, new base siding installed along with caulking. Robert and his team did a great job! He was very professional, organized and punctual. He quickly assessed the work needed, provided and reviewed a statement of work and bid. He also worked closely with the brick supplier to find an exact match for mine which is 30+ years old. After the work was completed I went on the roof and he showed me everything that was done. Cleanup of the roof and other areas was great. Truly a fantastic job and I would definitely hire him again.

We contacted Robert for an estimate for tuckpointing and general masonry work on our front porch and pillars. We had significant cracking/gaping in our brick pillars and a very large crack across our front concrete stoop. We also needed caulking around our front windows. Robert was prompt with our estimate and thoroughly explained what he was going to do to get the job done as well as what type of products he was going to be using. I found him to be very knowledgeable and professional and would not hesitate to contact him again for future projects.

Robert did a wonderful job. He is a good person who truly cares about the quality of his work. Robert came out right away when we called him and he completed the job quickly although I know he was busy. If we ever have any other issues Robert would be the FIRST one we would call. I highly recommend Robert !!
Description of Work: We had some water leaking into the Living Room. Our house is only 8 years old. When the issue started we had the original builder back to figure out the problem. He could figure out the issue. Since then we had a roofer, a roofer/masonry and a contractor. Noone could figure it out. Except for Robert. He tuckpointed an area of our house which needed to be tuckoounted but there was still a leak. He kept trying to figure it out and he came back to see if he could find anything. Turned out it was the window. it must have come from the factory defective.

Robert responded quickly, came to my residence and provided an estimate which was neither the highest nor lowest of the 3 estimates I gathered. He was professional, thorough, punctual, and fast. He and his worker completed the job nicely, with no complications or surprises. They did a good job and are highly recommended.
