Robert is exceptional when it comes to customer service, professionalism and quality of work performed. He returned my calls immediately. He came to give an estimate the same day. He took pictures of the chimney and patiently explained to me what needed to be done, why it needed to be done and how he would do the work. Robert cares about the quality of his work. He and his workers arrived on time and cleaned up the job site very well when finished. It was a pleasure to work with Robert and I would hire him again with great confidence.

Robert performed all work as he said he would do. Can barely notice where work was performed after a month's time as he indicated. Very knowledgeable and answered all my questions to my satisfaction. The other person who came out to give me an estimate never mentioned replacing the cracked bricks; he would mortar over the cracked bricks and never mentioned the chemical cleaning process. Excellent craftsman who knows his job and how to deal with people. Would hire again for other masonry work in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Grind out all cracked mortar joints on walls and tuck point with best matching mortar color to existing. Remove and replace cracked bricks on west wall, new bricks provided by self, approx 12 bricks. Grind and tuck point a cracked mortar joint around support column (front entrance). Chemically cleaned all new masonry work to remove mortar residue. Did the tuck pointing 1 day and had to come back another day to do the cleaning.

Robert's expertise defined the problem, developed a remedial plan which was flawlessly executed. His professionalism and experience allowed him to complete the job on time and in budget. His workmanship is a testament to his craft. I highly recommend him and won't hesitate to contact him in the future should additional needs surface.

Robert is very knowledgeable about his trade and he has superb patience with all my questions. Robert made another visit back due to changing scenarios and he was very attentive to what I wanted to accomplish. Robert’s bid was reasonable and with his GREAT customer service, I offered him the tuckpointing project. I requested a small task outside the project scope and he was willing to tackle. The quality of his work is very top notch. No wonder his schedule is already four months out. Robert gives his customer a fair assessment of what’s needed and would also tell his customer when ‘customers are simply wasting money’. Overall, I highly recommend Robert and his team. Great quality and flawless execution!

Robert is an exceptional service provider. He is responsive, reasonable, informative and realistic. This was an emergency repair required and he shifted his schedule to make it work all the while being completely honest and cost effective while providing a top service. I would absolutely work with him again (although I hope it's under different circumstances) and would refer him to ANYONE!
Description of Work: I experienced leaking in my basement floor. I needed the caulking between my brick and flashing that involved opening wall, ensuring there was no foundational crack and applying the caulking/testing it for functioning after. This included an epoxy injection inside and caulking outside of the home, as well as filling missing mortar on bricks.

Robert was referred to me by my sister. He had done a repair to some masonry at her home. She was very satisfied with his price and the work performed. I called Robert and he came to my home the same day. We reviewed all the areas that needed repair. He took the time to explain what needed to be done and what it would take to do the work. I had an estimate within a day of his visit. We agreed on the price and details. A schedule for repair. was discussed and put in motion. The repairs were done as discussed and on time, for the agreed price. If and when I have more masonry related repair needs, Robert will be the person I call to take care of them.
Description of Work: The exterior stone surround of my fireplace needed some work. There were areas of in need of repair from the chimney at the top top of the surround and tuck pointing on the vertical portion of the surround.

Description of Work: I used Robert and his crew just before winter for general maintenance on the rooftop. We had a few trouble spots where water was obviously coming in. His crew did partia tuck pointing of the parapet wall, replaced and sealed joints/ caulk, and waterproofed. They did a great job (trouble spots are gone). He and his crew were vey respectful, and scheduling was very flexible too- they did work over the weekends to accommodate my schedule.

Robert replaced our deteriorating chimney cap as well as tuck pointed a foundation crack. That crack was causing water to leak into a bedroom baseboard and for 2 years I contacted contractor after contractor who could not solve the problem. Robert solved the problem immediately. He even addressed a keystone that was loose that we weren't even aware was a problem. He is extremely knowledgeable, very responsive to calls, and possesses a work ethic that is immeasurable. I would most definitely use him again and would not hesitate to recommend his company.

Robert is the consummate professional. He is extremely prompt, responsive, honest, and most importantly his work is outstanding. Unlike many service providers, Robert is genuinely interested in educating his customers on the work that is being proposed and in providing you with complete customer satisfaction. Robert is without question the best contractor that I have found through Angie's List and I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Robert did a great job filling in the paver bricks and sealing up the holes to prevent future problems with uninvited guests underneath my deck. Since he completed his work we have had no issues at all. What I really liked about Robert is that he was responded immediately and got me a quote on his services within 48 hours. I would use again in the future.

I highly recommend Robert. He is a true professional. He is punctual, responsive and knowledgeable. I had water leaking at one of my buildings. Several companies came out and assessed the situation - they got it wrong. Then I called Robert. He is very analytical, he examined the property from the outside then in. He identified the problem and saved me a ton of money. It went so well that I had Robert do some work at my parents home. They really appreciated his expertise and professional. I wish all my interaction with contractors went this well.

Robert responded to my call for repair to our foundation the same day. Even though it was a small job he accepted it and made it blend in with the rest of the foundation. He inspected our chimney and showed us pictures of obvious and serious damage explaining why it happened. He also told us in detail how he would repair it and replace the cap so as to ensure that it will last a long time. At the end he showed us pictures of our new chimney. We are delighted with the workmanship of him and his crew and feel secure in the knowledge that we have a sound chimney that will last a long time. He uses quality material (5,000 psi cement) and takes pride in his work. He took the time to put up scaffolding to safely work on the sharp incline of our roof providing safety for his men and our property. He also used a pulley system for safely raising and lowering material and debris He was always respectful to us as well as his crew. As another customer said Robert is now our go to masonry guy. Thanks Robert. It was a pleasure!

Robert inspected the foundation and window areas finding the crack in the foundation wall. He sealed the crack from the inside and found areas around windows on the outside needing caulking and sealing. He explained what needed to be done well before starting, worked neatly and efficiently and guaranteed his work. A previous estimate from another company was much larger and required moving the central air conditioner. We were able to avoid the much larger and more expensive job.

Robert came out to repair a portion of our chimney and rebuild the crown earlier on a separate job. I was very satisfied with his work and hired him again to apply a brick sealer to the entire chimney on this job. He recommended and showed me the product ahead of time and gave me time to review it and i ended up going with his recommendation. He arrived promptly and did the job exactly as he promised. I am happy with the work and would highly recommend him for any masonry work.

You could not ask for a more professional contractor than Robert and his crew.He was here when he said he would be, explained everything he was going to do and made sure we understood everything.Robert doubled checked with us several times to be sure we were happy with his work along the way. Robert takes pride in his work as well as the people who work for him. We could not be happier with the outcome. They leave your home like they found it only better. We are thrilled with the craftsmanship and care shown our home.

Robert and his crew were very professional and delivered as promised. Robert kept me well informed on all aspects of the work, including picking out the type of brick to be used and informing me of the materials he was going to use before the work started. He took the time to answer all my questions and explained the approach to the work so i knew what to expect. Our chimney is difficult to reach due to its location and Robert was able to erect scaffolding safely to access the chimney without the need to bring in a crane. His work was excellent and he cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely hire him again.

Robert was fantastic. He was responsive via email, phone, and text. He got me an very fair estimate quickly. When we decided to do the work, he came by with some brick samples. Our house is built from bricks that are no longer available. He took great care in finding us the closest match. His team arrived right on time to do the work, and were efficient and professional. They did a fantastic job with the repairs, and left the areas cleaner than they were when they arrived. The next time I need any brick or tuckpointing work, Robert will be my first call.

Robert did a first class job on everything that had been planned.
Description of Work: Robert came promptly to evaluate the cracks in our foundation and explained why and how he would recommend taking care of the problem. He then submitted a detailed estimate for the cost. We were very pleased with his plan as well as his price. He came and took care of the cracks using an injection technique to seal them and tuck pointed other areas that needed to be done. Robert also agreed to caulk all our windows and doors as the original caulk was no longer sealing.

I have a 16 year old brick veneered home that developed cracks in the existing mortar in numerous areas due to settling over the years and from water/ice/snow near sills. I found Robert on Angies List and he responded quickly to my initial contact. He came out within a few days to provide an estimate. Once I hired him, he scheduled the work within a few weeks, factoring weather delays and completed the job with his crew within one day. He recommended re-caulking my exterior windows and door due to finding my original caulk failing and needed replacement. We settled on a price based on the number or windows and doors on my home and he had the work done again in one day with his crew within a week. He was very professional in his communication, scheduling and his workmanship is excellent. I would recommend him and will hire him again for any future work. Thanks Robert!

I contacted Robert through Angie's List messaging service (a wonderful addition, I might add) and thinking it might take at least a day to respond, I didn't check for a reply until the following day. He responded to my message in record time and although I wasn't home at the time he came out to give me an estimate, he gave me a quote in record time. We agreed on a date and time for him to do the job. While digging out the block, he was fighting off a hornet's nest, so this job was "above and beyond" in my opinion. Thanks Robert for a great job!!!
