Dan and his crew have done a few projects for us over the years and we couldn’t be more pleased. The first project was major - completely taking down the very porous brick comprising the first floor front faux balcony section of our three-flat 1911 vintage building, down into those walls in the basement, and repairing/replacing the moisture-damaged mortar between those bricks. Some of the bricks were replaced as well - not an easy feat as the front facade of our building is an unusual, grainy, sandstone type of brick. Dan matched it! The cause of the moisture seepage in the first place was that when our building was built, there was nothing placed between the limestone capstones on top of the “balcony” walls and that very porous brick. Dan and his crew placed an unobtrusive metal liner between those two sections which to this day, fifteen years later, is doing a great job protecting that brick. A substantial piece of corner limestone at the base of the building was crumbling; Dan had a new one made to mirror its opposite and put that in, too. Dan and his guys have come by whenever we’ve called to inspect our bricks and mortar. They did some repair work at the roofline recently, and also some touch-up mortar repair in a side common brick area. His prices are reasonable and they always do a great job. Always are here when they say they’ll be. They’re our go-to guys on anything bricks and mortar for our building!
Description of Work: See above - various projects! The cost below reflects our most recent project. Obviously the major project fifteen years ago was much more expensive; about $19,000.

Northsouth was a great masonry company to work with. They were incredibly responsive, diligent, straightforward, knowledgeable, and timely in their work. I hired them to work on one limited project and then expanded the original scope based upon their obvious professionalism and competency. Since that first project, I have had the opportunity to use them again. And intend to do so in the future.
Description of Work: Clearing of vines, replaced bricks, masonry refinishing on numerous brick walls, provision of custom roof caps, stair repair, and railing repair.

Dan did an outstanding job in tuckpointing our garage! He was professional and friendly and we highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Our garage was badly in need of tuckpointing. We got multiple estimates which were very different in cost. We learned a lot from Dan about the different options in tuckpointing and he helped us figure out what would best meet our needs.

Everything went extremely well, we couldn’t have been more happier with the entire process. They responded very quickly to our initial contact with them and came to our home to assess our concerns and what we wanted done. The staff were extremely professional and the work done, was completed in a timely manner, with no complaints from us. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who might require their services.

Beyond quality the most important thing is commutation. When Northsouth said they were going to show up they did and on-time. If their were issues on timing I was given a heads up. Crew was beyond friendly and quality of work was great. Highly recommend for any tuck pointing needs.

I can not say enough about how good Dan and his crew were and the work that they did. They removed my old fireplace used the brick to patch in where we had windows removed and you couldn’t see that there was an opening there before. And the new fireplace looks like a million dollars. They were clean and showed up when they said they would

It was seamless they came did their thing and were gone. It was like they were never there except there was a stone sill under my window. I can’t say enough tot about these guys. They did a lovely tidy up too.
Description of Work: Masonry I had a stone window sill ( 10 foot long ) put in after the custom window was already installed. Northsouth Masonry also replaced (toothed in ) bricks on the left and right side of the window replacing bricks with bad cuts and making the whole opening very finished.

I first used north south masonry about 10 years ago after a catastrophic repair had been done on my property. Dan and his team completed the repair and a cost effective and timely manner over the years. I have used him numerous times on several of my properties and his estimates Have always been very reasonable. I never have any concerns from start to finish when using this company and have referred Dan to other business acquaintances .He never disappoints. !
