As noted above.
Description of Work: I called Dan as I needed some minor brickwork done on the front of our home. He seemed professional and pleasant on the phone initially, but there was lack of follow through thereafter. He said he would let me know when he was available after Christmas to provide an estimate. He did not follow up with me as I had to call him to see when he would be out to do the estimate. He did do the estimate a few days later. He mentioned the job was small with a minimum of $150 to install about 3 bricks in the front of our home which was reasonable. He also gave us an estimate to tuckpoint our chimney stating there were multiple areas of damage with the cost to repair in the range of $1500. We did not ask for the chimney to be looked at, but felt it was good information to know for the future to be repaired at a later time. He said he would come out in a few days to do the small repair. He never did. He called me stating he didn't have the right color brick as the yard was closed. He said we would have to wait until after New Years when he could attain the correct color brick. He said he would be out the Wednesday after New Year's. When he did not arrrive, yet again I had to follow up with him to see what happened this time. He said it was too cold to do the brickwork and he would need to postpone until the following Saturday. It is naturally customer courtesy to call if you are not going to make it for a job. I felt I was persuing Dan to do the job which superceded his actual desire to perform the job. One excuse too many. It appeared as if the job was too small for him and simply not worth his while. When I told him we would wait until spring to do the job, he seemed completely fine and frankly relieved that he got out of doing this small job. He didn't even try to retain my business. What is very unfortunate is that he now lost out on the potential to do many larger jobs for us in the future.

Great!
Description of Work: Tim and his crew did a great job! We have a large building that need a lot of masonry work. They replaced the lientles on 14 windows, rebuilt 2 chimmines, and rebuilt about 120 feet of parpet wall. They also did spot tuck point and grinding. They were professional and answered any questions we had through out the process. I will be using NorthSouth Masonry again in the future! Thanks Tim. Ben Craig

Description of Work: We have some tuckpointing on our house that someone did a bad job on trying to fix themselves. I called Northsouth and after 2 phone calls and one week to get an estimate, they told me that our job was too small and we should hire a one man operation to repair it. I was disappointed.

THEY WERE EXCELLENT. RETURNED MY CALL PROMPTLY, HAD A QUOTE TOGETHER WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD, SHOWED UP ON TIME, FINISHED ON TIME AND WERE VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. OUR FOUNDATION LOOKS GREAT, AND THE PRICE WAS IN LINE OR LOWER THAN OTHER PRICES WE GOT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM, AND WILL USE THEM AGAIN.

WE HAD ONE MISCOMMUNICATION WITH DAN REGARDING A SECTION OF THE HOUSE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN TUCKPOINTED. UNFORTUNATELY WE DIDN'T NOTICE THE ERROR UNTIL THE WORKERS HAD FINISHED. BECAUSE OF THIS, WE OFFERED TO ADD A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS ONTO THE ESTIMATE. ALTHOUGH IT WAS CLEARLY DEFINED IN THE WRITTEN ESTIMATE, WHEN MY HUSBAND AND DAN INITALLY WALKED THE PROPERTY, THIS SECTION OF THE HOUSE WAS NOT MENTIONED AND NOT TUCKPOINTED. OVERALL, THE WORK WAS EXCELLENT, AND DAN WAS RESPONSIVE- HE HAD THE ADDITIONAL WORK DONE IN THE SAME WEEK. A FAIR AGREEMENT WAS MADE TO FIX THE MISTAKE, AND I WOULD RECOMMEND WORKING WITH NORTHSOUTH.

DAN WAS VERY PROMPT IN GETTING ME AN ESTIMATE AND THE PRICE WAS IN LINE, OR LOWER THAN OTHER TUCKPOINTER ESTIMATES RECEIVED. THE WORK WAS MOSTLY PERFORMED BY SUBS WHO DID DO A GOOD JOB, BUT COULD HAVE DONE BETTER CLEANING UP - I STILL HAVE DRIED MORTAR ON MY SIDEWALK. OVERALL, I'M VERY SATISFIED AND THE FRONT LOOKS 100% BETTER THAN BEFORE - DID A GOOD JOB MATCHING UP THE PROPER MORTAR COLOR.

DAN O'BRIEN AND ALL THE MEN WORKING WITH HIM WERE VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB ON OUR BUILDING AND WERE CONSCIENTIOUS OF THE NEIGHBORS. THEY PROTECTED THE HOUSES NEXT DOOR TO US AND WERE VERY GOOD ABOUT CLEANING UP EACH DAY AFTER WORK WAS FINISHED. THEY WERE ALSO VERY CAREFUL AND SAFE. THEY USED HIGH QUALITY SCAFFOLDING SINCE THE SPACE BETWEEN OUR BUILDINGS WASN'T WIDE ENOUGH TO WORK FROM LADDERS. THEY SET UP THE SCAFFOLDING SECURELY SO THAT THERE WAS NO DANGER OF ACCIDENTS. THE BUILDING LOOKS SO MUCH BRIGHTER AND THE MORTAR JOINTS SO MUCH MORE SOLID. DAN IS VERY FRIENDLY AND KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THE BUSINESS, AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND WORKING WITH THEM.

A FEW THINGS STAND OUT ABOUT OUR EXPERIENCE. FIRST, THEY PERFORMED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE WORK THAN THEY HAD ESTIMATED, BUT STUCK WITH THE ESTIMATED PRICE + A SMALL CHARGE FOR EXTRA MATERIAL. DAN AND I HAD DISCUSSED THIS POSSIBILITY BEFOREHAND. I WAS WORRIED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MORE OF THE CHIMNEY THAN HE HAD ESTIMATED. HE SAID THAT IF THEY HAD TO DO EXTRA WORK, HE WOULD HONOR HIS ESTIMATE, AND HE DID. THIS JOB TOOK LONGER THAN PLANNED, BUT THAT WAS LARGELY DUE TO WEATHER. HIS CREW HAD TO SET UP PARTIALLY IN MY NEIGHBOR'S DRIVEWAY, WHICH WAS FAR FROM IDEAL. WHEN THE JOB WAS OVER, DAN BROUGHT MY NEIGHBORS A TIN OF COOKIES TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR PATIENCE. A SMALL GESTURE, BUT ONE THAT 99% OF CONTRACTORS WOULD NOT HAVE MADE.

BECAUSE OF HIS FOLLOW-UP, WE SELECTED DAN TO DO THE NECESSARY WORK. HE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL, RESPONSIVE, AND COMMUNICATIVE THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE PROCESS AND GAVE US A DISCOUNT BECAUSE THE TIMING WORKED TO HIS ADVANTAGE. THE WORK WAS DONE WELL AND IN A TIMELY MANNER. HE ADDRESSED ANY CONCERNS AS THEY CAME UP.

WE COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. DAN O'BRIEN WAS ONE OF THE MOST CONSCIENTIOUS AND PROFESSIONAL CONTRACTORS I'VE EVER DEALT WITH. I AM THRILLED TO KNOW THERE ARE STILL TRADESMEN LIKE HIM OUT THERE.
