The service was fine. I was real surprised. We had some high winds, and they had to put up scaffolding and get up and I didn't think they would do it. They did it safely, and did a good job on it. They worked for total of about 10 hours. They were here most of today, they just set up the scaffolding and did some prep work yesterday. Two people had come out to do the work. They were a father and son group, and they were very nice. They did exactly what they said they would do. I thought it was real pricey, but I haven't had any work done for 30 years, so maybe it was fairly reasonable. They were more than responsive. I contracted him last Friday, and he said he could get to me within a week or 10 days, and then he called me yesterday, and asked if he could start yesterday, so he shuffled things around and got to me early. They explained what they were doing, and cleaned up after themselves.
Description of Work: I used G H Erickson to do some chimney repairs and brick tuck pointing.

Description of Work: I called them in June. They never returned my call. I called in August. They said they had other jobs and can't get to me till October. I said Okay, October is good. It is now the middle of December and I never heard from them. They are not people oriented. They don't know or they don't care.

It's too bad. Really was hoping to do business with them based on the other reviews.
Description of Work: Called on a Wednesday to see if they could provide a quote on chimney repair for house inspection needed by that Friday. Said they would come out and leave the quote in the mailbox. No quote left Thursday so I called them Friday to confirm they were still coming and the owner said he was out of town and no longer able to get to it. That really left us in a bind as we are selling our house and had to have it in order to negotiate sell of house. I wouldn't have minded if they couldn't do it but he never said he couldn't and he never attempted to call me. Had I not called him, I would never had know he was not coming. Thank goodness for Kaufman & Sons Masonry who came out same day and provided a quote and we're very professional.

He showed up on time and was very polite, he said it would be 3 to 4 weeks before he could get to me. However after 3 1/2 weeks he never called me back. I contacted him via the phone to hopefully set up a time and he said we would call me back, he never did. I called back two days later and he said he would need to review the quote and get back to me, again he did not call me back. I called him again the next week and was told it would be another 9 weeks before he could get me. I told him that's fine but I don't want to call him in 9 weeks and then be told it's going to be another 4 weeks. He said in that case I'm going to pass on the job. I wish he had been more up front instead of wasting time and ultimately treating me rather poorly.

I called Mr. Erickson. He came out to the house and estimated the repair with my wife. She notified me and I approved the work to be done according to his estimate. He arrived on the day specified, performed the work to my wife's satisfaction, was paid and left. He followed up with me to verify that the work was satisfactory and I agreed that it was.

The Ericksons came very quickly to give an estimate. They were honest about the fact that we could have repaired the damage with silicone but we wanted it to look better than that. Once the quote was accepted, they came very promptly to do the repair. The repair and clean up were excellent.
Description of Work: The Ericksons repaired a brick archway which had lost some of the mortar.

He did fine; he did just what we wanted him to do. I have no idea how his price was; no one else came out to give us a bid. They were here when they said they would be.

We called them and Gerry was professional and extremely prompt. Arrived when he said he would to give us an estimate. He stayed in communication throughout the decision process of how to proceed with the repair. He and his son Jason arrived this morning to do the repair, left once to purchase items needed. Upon their return, they proceeded with the work in a very professional and timely manner. We actually had the repair work finished in just one day. Our thanks to them both for being a quality company that one can rely on. What a relief.

It didn't go well since I didn't even get a call back saying they weren't interested in my business. But I guess them not calling me back is a response.
Description of Work: I called to request an estimate on a repair/replacement chimney chase cover & sidewalk repair/replacement. The person who answered the phone was very nice and said they would try to come by later that day to give me an estimate. I called the next day and left a message with my name & number asking when they thought they'd come by since they didn't make it the day before. Then I called 4 days later and left another message. I am still waiting to hear back from them.

Even thought the services this company provided didn't include what we needed due to the nature of our fireplace, I want to pass on what great people they are, because that is very important when choosing a contractor.
Description of Work: I asked this company to come over for an estimate, and as it turns out, we have a metal chimney, and they only do masonry, so if you have a metal chimney, this is a good questin to ask. Mr. Erickson was very sweet, professional very nice about using his time to give mean estimate----he didn't make me feel bad about wasting his time.

We called for an estimate and he said he could come out that day. He came over and after introducing himself went up on roof to evaluate. Came down and wrote up a point-by-point estimate of what they would do and explained. Even took some of the broken off pieces of the face brick so he could get matching replacements. Was courteous, professional, and answered the couple of questions we had. When we called to accept the job he said he had an opening and could do the job in one or two days. We agreed on a date. All he said they needed were electric and water, we didn't even need to be there. They came out as scheduled. The job was completed before I got home. I inspected the job and was very satisfied. Had replaced the damaged brick but I couldn't even tell where. All the joints were cemented, the chimney looked great and I'm confident it will last for a long time. I could tell that he used good materials and techniques (as listed on estimate). There was no damage to the roof and everything was cleaned up including the old mortar which had washed down the roof. Was very satisfied with promptness, attention to detail, and doing more than just the minimum. Experienced company who can do the job right. Would recommend.
Description of Work: Chimney had mortar eroded with some that had come loose and fallen on roof. Also damage to some of the face brick.

He did quite a bit of work and did a good job. He did more work than what was contracted . He ended up paving the stairway as well because of the liniment of the stone work. I was impressed at his work ethic and honesty. It is now 5 years later and everything is holding up very well. (He had put a cement foundation under the stones to keep is solid).
Description of Work: Hired to put in a brick walkway to connect my driveway/garage to my porch. He also put in hardpavers in the porch along with a stone wall along the porch stairs.
