OUR BRICK GARAGE WALLS HAD HOLES WHICH WE BELIEVED WOULD NEED MASONRY REPAIR. BOB LOOKED AT THE JOB & DETERMINED THAT WE REALLY NEEDED A CARPENTER - & SUGGESTED AN EXCELLENT COMPANY (FROM ANGIE'S LIST) TO DO THE WORK. HE COULD HAVE QUOTED US THE JOB WE ASKED FOR A LOT MORE MONEY, BUT INSTEAD HE ACTED IN OUR BEST INTERESTS BY SUGGESTING THE WORK WE REALLY NEEDED TO HAVE DONE - WITH SOMEONE ELSE. WHEN WE LATER DETERMINED A NEED FOR MASONRY WORK, BOB RETURNED & GAVE US A FAIR QUOTE ON A SMALLER JOB, WHICH HE COMPLETED IN ONE DAY. HIS WORK LOOKS GREAT & WE ARE VERY PLEASED WITH THE QUALITY. HE IS HIGHLY RATED ON THE ANGIE'S LIST FOR MASONRY & NOW I KNOW WHY.
Description of Work: OUR GARAGE COLUMNS NEEDED TO BE PATCHED UP, MORTARED, AND THE EXTERIOR BACK WALL NEEDED SOME TUCK-POINTING.
