They appeared on time, rebuilt the steps, and cleaned up the site. This winter--a particularly challenging one--is not over, but so far the steps have kept their integrity.

Rice Masonry was A + on every level. I located them on Angie's list and they were prompt and did the work on time. They answered evey phone call and question in a timely manner and performed the work within the time period. I appreciated their professionalism and efficiency. Work was done to the satisfaction of everyone concerned.

I have an all-brick home which had some damaged mortar and stained brick from water damage caused by an improperly pitched gutter. I asked for tuckpointing -- Gerald suggested additionally washing the brick as well to blend it perfectly with the rest of the home. Other vendors I contacted did not suggest this. I appreciated that he was proactive and genuinely wanted me to be thrilled with the result. After the work was completed, my neighbor (who has a nearly identical brick home) pointed out to me how well his work matched the rest of the brick on the home and asked for his contact information. I don't think there is a higher compliment than an envious neighbor!

Gerry was very easy to work with. Did estimate & discussed options. Work was done timely as promised. We've received compliments from neighbors on the quality of the results.

Gerry Rice was professional, capable, helpful and friendly. His workmen were perfect! Gerry oversaw and participated in work even when we were unaware of his presence.

Jerry nice and crew started promptly and went very neat. They finished this job and never disturbed the plants & flowers granting.

I had already moved out of house and the work was done at buyer's request.

Gerry Rice visited our home, inspected both fireplaces and suggested scope of work. His men arrived on agreed upon morning, one worked on roof, the other inside on fireplaces. Neat, workman like attitudes. Cleaned up afterward. Gone around lunchtime.

Gerry was great, extremely professional, and very easy to work with. I called for a quote and he came out the same day on his way back from another job. He looked at the chimney, explained everything he was going to do and why, and sent a quote within 2 days. (Even better, he also explained what we *didn't* need to do and why). I also liked that, in addition to explaining why we needed the work done (spalled bricks), he was able to give an opinion on why the bricks were spalling and what could be done to prevent it. We requested quotes from 3 other companies but went with Gerry because his price was competitive, he was responsive, and seemed the most knowledgeable of the masons I spoke with. Another company came back with a quote that was a little less, but when I called to inquire, I found out that the subcontracted their masonry work out to another company. I liked that Gerry does the work on his own with his own employees. I was also willing to pay a little more ($100 or $200) to work with Gerry because I liked how he came across and felt comfortable that he was going to do a great job. The third company came back with a quote that was almost $1000 more and I felt that some of the work they were proposing was unnecessary (they basically proposed that we rebuild the entire chimney, rather than just the part with the spalled bricks.) We were able to get the work done within 2 weeks of receiving our quote. Gerry was on the job site, overseeing everything. He and his employees were great. Very professional about everything. We've got two small children and both of Gerry's guys were great about humoring them when they came into the house to do the tuckpointing work in the chimney. The chimney looks GREAT. Gerry had to supply some of his own bricks because several of the originals were damaged. I was worried about everything matching up, but they mixed in the old with the new so that everything looks seamless. We are really, really happy with the work. All in all, a great experience. I'd highly recommend Rice. If we need masonry work again, we will definitely go with them.

Rice was very competent, timely and professional. A high quality job. Very good clean up on project.

Gerry was on time explained everything well and did quality work. His workers broke part of the glass block window and I asked him to fix it. He replaced the whole thing. I was very pleased.
