After he gave me an estimate I never heard back from him.
Description of Work: I called to schedule an appointment to get an estimate. He came over that same day and gave me an estimate. He said due to the good response from his Angie's List coupon he was backlogged on work so it may be several weeks before he could get to my job.

I appoligize that I have been unable to respond to all of the "Big Deal" offers as timely as I would have liked. My business is mainly myself and my son and I have always taken pride in providing personal attention to all my customers. As expressed to other members that have contacted me, any "Big Deal" coupon purchased will not expire. I am offering to return the $99 or perform the work as described in the original estimate. Please feel free to contact me

Glen and his team did a great job in repairing both my brick patio and blue stone pool deck. The patio had several broken bricks and was extremely dirty and discolored. They cleaned it to look like it was new and cut out and replaced every broken brick. For the pool deck he cleaned it, cut out all cracked and broken mortar and replaced with new mortar. After all cleaning and repair work was completed, they seal coated both the patio and pool deck. Through out the work, Glen's team was very careful not to break anything and to keep every thing very clean, that included keeping the pool relatively clean even though they were cutting mortar all around the pool. When they were done with all work, all areas were entirely cleaned up. Both patio and pool deck now look very clean and new and I am very pleased.
Description of Work: Blue stone pool deck cleaned, repaired, and sealed. Brick patio repaired and sealed.

On January 3, 2012 we purchases a "$99 for 4 Hours of Masonary Repair" from Angies List. We called Glenn Mills Outdoor Solutions several times to set up an appointment for him to come out and do the work. We began documenting our calls: 03/08/12 @ 12:51pm - call back at 5:00 pm because he isn't in front of computer 03/08/12 @ 5:16pm - called back left message 04/03/12 @ 10:12am - called and set up appt with Glen for 9:00am Thursday 04/05/12. 04/05/12 @ 9:00am - Glenn did not show up. 04/05/12 @ 9:55am - called Glenns cell phone and left message. Eventually Glenn was able to make it to our home. He looked over the job which consists of repairing a brick column on our front porch. He took a brick as a sample so he could purchase additional supplies for the job. Glenn has not called or returned to complete the work. We would either like the work completed or the money spent on the coupon returned.
Description of Work: On January 3, 2012 we purchased a "$99 for 4 Hours of Masonry Repair" coupon. We tried for several months to get a returned phone call from Glenn he blamed problems with "Verizon" for not returning our phone calls. He came out to look over the job, took a brick in order to purchase compare and purchase appropriate building materials then never returned to complete the work. Don't buy coupons from Angies List. grrrr

Response from Glenn Mills Outdoor Solutions
I appoligize that some estimates were not responded to timely. My business consists mainly of myself and my son and with repeated unsuccessful attempts to hire quality workers I was over run with work. When the decision was made to post the "Big Deal" coupon, myself along with Angies list estimated to sell approximatly 25 coupons which had been the norm in other cities, this proved to be an extreme under estimate. I pride myself on being able to give my personal attention to all my customers which is why I extended the expiration date from January 31 to June 31 and I am currently still accepting these coupons. I will be returning Member $99 immediatly, and appoligize again for any inconvenience

I had been trying to hire a contactor for nearly a year to build and outdoor fireplace on our back patio and found either the prices way too high or the quality of the companies suspect in regards to followup and responsiveness. I found Glenn Mills through Craigslist and he came out and looked at my project and gave me every reason to believe he could make it happen at a fair price. We worked together on designing the layout and provided recommedations on stone selection, etc. He was very easy to work with and rather than just rushing to get it done quickly he took his time to ensure we both would be proud of the final product. There were some instances where he had to leave our job to get to another one that was in a critical state but I found this acceptable as I was more interested in getting the job done right and not rushed. At the end of the day, the result was a great looking outdoor fireplace with wood storage boxes on each side the we love using several times a week. He did us right and we would gladly use him again.
Description of Work: Constructed from scratch an outdoor fireplace with wood storage boxes on each side. Cut the existing patio to pour a footing/foundation and built the fireplace block by block. Finished it off with stone veneer and cap stones. Cleaned it and sealed it before he left.

20 years ago a bay window had been installed - unknown to me, that install was not done correctly. I had the window replaced in May and found that there was damage to the brick. The extent of the damage was not clear as there were several tubes of caulking stuck all over the brick. I contacted Glen Mills and he came to the house on May 9, 2012. He presented me with a couple options on how he could do the repair and remove the caulk. While he was here, I had him look over the rest of the brick and we agreed that there were areas on my house that could benefit from tuck-pointing. I have had this done by others in the past and therefore knew his estimate was very reasonable.The overall estimate for everything was 1300.00 - a fair price considering the tedious work ahead to remove the caulking.The work was completed on May 23, 2012 and I could not be more pleased with the result. Not only is the damage repaired, the mortar used for the tuck-pointing was dyed to match. The clean up was good - I have no complaints. I have before and after pictures attached. Glen Mills and his son do excellent work and I would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Remove a build up of caulking on the brick - I have wire cut brick - which is harder to deal with than smooth brick. Cosmetic repair work on damaged brick and tuck-pointing various areas on my home.

The owner arrived on time for the estimate, and gave advice about what needed to be done (and what didn't). He provided a written estimate and an estimated start date (a few weeks out). Rainy weather caused a few days' delay, but he called to keep me updated. On the start date, his team arrived on time (8:45; he does not start grinding in residential neighborhoods before 9:00 AM) and got right to work. I work from home, and he worked with me to manage the grinding work (expect it to be noisy) when I was not on phone calls. The job took 3 days. They cleaned up the job site well each day. They also waited until the weather conditions were appropriate to apply the sealer. They also removed the shutters (we plan to replace them) and sealed the brick under them (for a complete job). When it came time to settle, Glenn applied an advertised discount without my asking. During the work, he noted that the chimney cap may need work within the next few years. There was no pressure to get it done, just professional advice about what will be needed, estimated cost and when. When it comes time to do the chimney cap, or to re-seal the house, I will definitely use them again..
Description of Work: I needed about 25-30 cracked bricks replaced on my home, (chimney and exterior walls), repair of crumbling mortar, some minor tuck pointing, brick cleaning and sealing for the walls and chimney.

He & his crew did a great job. They removed all of the debris from the property. Every question or concern that I had, he answered over the phone or he would come out to the job. After the job was done, I was concerned about one of the walls being too high. Without any problem he fixed it and it looks great. I was looking for someone who was honest and would not take my money and run. I found the honest person in Glenn Mills. I highly recommend him.

Glen Mills came out for an estimate. We were looking into a paver patio to pair up with our poured concrete patio. Glen showed up right on time, evaluated our desired design and to our amazement recommended we use a service he doesn't provide. Glen took an hour and made design recommendations, layout suggestions, color schemes, and insight from other jobs he has worked on. In the end he was right that our design would be best achieved with stamped concrete. He was very straight forward and honest during this estimate. We hope to get to use him for stone work in the future.

When Glenn Mills came to my home to give an estimate, it was agreed upon that his serives were more than I needed to do the job. A home project would be just ifne in my case. Wow, what a refreshing experience, an actual honest person. Glenn explained to me how I could do it, and how much time it would probably take. I can tell you if I have any big masonry jobs, there is no doubt whom I'm calling first. It was so gracious to meet a frist class professional. I would highly recommend his services.

We responded to our first pre-paid Angie's List "Big Deal": 4 hours of masonry repair labor for $99. We needed several areas repaired, so asked Mills to let us know how far down the list we could go for the special price, and to estimate the additional cost for the remaining items. He said he was swamped by the ad, and would get back to us in approximately 1 month. That was fine, but we never heard back. Approx. 2 months later, we called them back, and he apologized that he must have lost our information with a computer crash. He promised we would be next on the list due to the glitch, and he would come in a week. He never came. We called back, and due to a family emergency, he said he would send his brother AND offer an additional 4 hours of service to make amends. His brother did come, and gave us approximately 2 hours of extra service, but ran out of mortar, so he left. They left their ladder, and we had to call them several weeks later, to remind them to remove it. Overall the work was fine. The final cost was a very good deal given the extra 2 hours, but I could not recommend them due to the lack of follow-up.

Glenn and his son were outstanding. They came out when they said they would to perform the estimate which they did on the spot and quoted a start date about three weeks out that they stuck to. They were extremely careful of the mature bushes around the house and did absolutely no damage. They thoroughly cleaned up. They stuck to their schedule and were completely nonintrusive. We will definitely be using Glenn for other projects that we have planned next Spring.
Description of Work: Crawlspace Block Foundation Repair- Our crawlspace has a block foundation. A section of footer under the block wall was apparently not installed when the house was built. This, plus excessive rains that had dislodged a drainpipe and poured water directly against the foundation, caused the blocks to sink. A few of the blocks had come loose and fallen into the crawlspace as well as cracked the mortar around several other blocks. Glenn excavated the foundation, poured a rebar-reinforced footer, then laid in new block and mortar with more rebar plus repointed mortar in the cracked brick on the house above the foundation repair.

Glenn showed up for the quote and did the work as well as another guy. He did a great job. I was a bit concerned before the work was done because he did not call to let me know he would not be doing the job on a day it was raining. I assumed he was not there to do the work due to weather but a call would have been appreciated. Other than that they did a great job and cleaned up any mess from the job. I would hire them again.

EXCELLENT! I could not be more pleased! We are considering a room addition to our home, and I've already discussed the brick work for that project with Glenn Mills. At this point, REAL Brick MASONs are extremely hard to find. This is 3rd & 4th Generation Brick Masons and that knowledge and experience is clearly demonstrated in the quality of their work. They arrived as scheduled, performed better than expected, and cleaned up so well upon completion the only evidence they were here is the beautiful job they did on the brick.

If all businesses operated as well as Glenn Mills manages his, Angie's List wouldn't be necessary. Mr. Mills and his crew showed up on time, performed the job as agreed upon and left his work site clean. Updated on June 10, 2012: The work we had done by Glenn Mills did not hold up well. The cement repairs he made lifted and cracked in little-to-no-time. In fairness to him, though, I admit we did not call him back to make good on his work.
Description of Work: We had damaged decorative stone on our walkway and porch. Stones needed to be chiseled off and replaced with something, but we didn't know exactly what. Mr. Mills came to the house to see the job that needed to be done, made suggestions to make the repair work less obvious and gave us his estimate. Then he advised me about a coupon that was currently available on Angie's List, saving us $100.
