Maguire Masonry

quick clean efficient, looks great

Provider responded quickly, with evaluation and quote. Later noticed additional work required, for which he quoted a reasonable additional fee. Started on day agreed upon, finishing a few days later. Work appears to be excellent, at a fair price. Clean up was good, even gave a neighbor coupon for car wash.

Service provided was excellent, on time promised, and at the price that was quoted. Mike was the consummate professional. I would not hesitate to use his services again.

I appreciated that advice and have hired Murray Masonry who has just started to work. Will review later

Peter is responsive and communicates well. He came to see the job, answered our questions, and discussed options with us. We were delighted when he was able to begin the work sooner than expected. He and his assistant arrived on time every day, were always working while on site, did high quality work, and left our property clean and tidy each afternoon. The chimney repair work is outstanding. We are also very happy with the replastered steel beam and adjacent wall.

Peter came out to give us an estimate to repoint our chimney early in the summer. He was very helpful during the estimate and answered all of our questions. He emailed the estimate to us in a reasonable time. We got a couple estimates and decided on Peter because: 1. he agreed our chimney needed repointing, not a full rebuild and 2. he was very personable and helpful during the estimate and 3. he said he did all of his own work. It ended up being rather difficult to schedule the work, as Peter was somewhat difficult to reach by phone or email, but we got it straightened out and got the work scheduled for September. This was nearly two months after the original estimate, which was later than we had hoped for, but we were still happy to have Peter do the work. We really liked Peter and he assured us he does all of his own work. So once it came to the agreed upon time for the work, he didn't show up. We called to check on things and he let us know he'd be here the end of the week, rather than the beginning. The day that he assured us he was coming rained, so he postponed another day. He came in to work on Saturday, which was impressive. He only stayed part of the day, however, and left his partner alone at the house most of the day. The work that they did was pretty messy (busting out lots of mortar) but they did a really nice job cleaning up and hosing everything down. On the second day, Peter and his partner returned and finished the work. The work was GREAT. He explained everything to me and my husband and went above and beyond what we originally talked about to ensure we had a good chimney. On a side note - they did rip out two clematis plants I had growing on the side of the house and just threw the plant into my yard. When I spoke to Peter about it, he felt bad, said he thought they were weeds, and offered to pay to replace the plants. I really appreciated his offer, but did not take him up on it, as I'm sure the plants will grow back next year. Overall, the work Peter did was EXCELLENT! He made sure we got a great final product, even though he encountered some unforeseen issues. It was difficult to communicate with him, however, but if you keep up with him, you'll get a good final product for a good price.

Concluded that the stucco and wall were in good shape overall and recommended no repairs at this time. Very professional and courteous.

He seems like a real nice guy on the phone. We arranged that he would stop by on a specified day to give me an estimate. On the agreed upon day, he never showed. I called and left a message reminding him of our appointment. He called later that evening, seemed genuinely apologetic and asked if he could come the following day to give me the quote. We agreed on a time and the next day he never showed. I didn't get a call saying he couldn't make it or that he would be late. I was surprised by this lack of professionalism and punctuality because he does seem like a nice guy.

We thought that perhaps the entire wall would need to be replaced or repaired, not just the leaking area. He seemed pretty sure that due to the age of the foundation, it would just be a matter of time before other leaks would appear. He said he would get back to us with an estimate, but never did.

Peter Maguire showed up as agreed and performed the work in good time, himself and one trusty assistant. The whole thing was done over the course of a week and cleaned up beautifully.

It went great, he arrived on the day(s) he said he would and did the work in a timely fashion . I am planning on using his services next year for more masonry work.

I was impressed with Peter in just about every aspect of our project. He responded promptly to our initial request and came to our house to check out the project within a few days. He provided a detailed estimate within a day or two and the quoted price was very reasonable. Although it was not the lowest quote we got, he was clearly the best in terms of his skills and his understanding of what needed to be done. It was more than worth it. He did excellent work and communicated with us at all stages of the project to make sure that everyone was on the same page about the work and that any concerns could be addressed. Throughout the project, he also repeatedly emphasized that he stands by his work 100% and that we could call him any time if any issue arises. We have never had any reason to be concerned about any aspect of the project, but it is good to know that he will address any concerns no matter when they arise. The only possible criticism I have is that his crew left a few things behind and didn't sweep up so well when they left. Honestly, though, the only reason I noticed this (which is par for the course with just about every other contractor) is because Peter and his crew were so exceptionally good in every other aspect of the job.

I sent Peter an email through Angie's List and got an immediate reply. He doesn't normally do jobs as far away as I am but he said if I sent him photos of our chimney he would give me an estimate. I did but it turned out he was going to be in this area in a few days so he came by to see the chimney himself. He said he would be willing to do the job so we talked about exactly what was needed. The next day I had a very detailed written estimate. We agreed to have Peter do the work and since a stretch of warmer weather was predicted he was able to come out the following Saturday to begin. He and his assistant arrived at 7:15 as scheduled and immediately began work. After building the staging he went onto the roof and took pictures of the chimney and some cracks in the roof. Peter came down, showed us the photos and explained what he would do. He even patched the roof cracks to keep it waterproof until we have the roof replaced. Peter originally said the job would take four days but with rain forecast for the fourth day, he worked longer days to finish in three. He cleaned the roof of any mortar, as well as the gutters and the lawn area where pieces of old mortar or brick had fallen. We are extremely pleased with the result and would happily hire Peter again should we need any other masonry work done.

Peter was very professional and easy to work with. He worked steadily until the work was complete and we are extremely pleased with the quality of the work. I will recommend him to my friends.

Peter was very responsive to my request for an estimate and was at my house within two days to see the job. He emailed me an estimate a few days later which was competitive with the other estimates I had received. Work started within two weeks and was completed in two days, as promised. Peter showed me many photos of the before and after of our chimney. It looks great and is finally weather tight! I would highly recommend Peter for his wonderful work and professionalism.

No work was done but he left a good impression by responding and acknowledging my call.

Throughout the day, he sent me text messages via my cell phone and sending me the pictures of his work. I have never had any do this before. After he completed the job, he show me all the work that had be done. He even filed in some cracks in a garden retaining wall (that wasn't part of the job) with the remaining concrete at no extra charge. Peter and crew did an amazing job. Highly recommended.

Went great. They worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Were very polite and professional. They did my chimney fixes last year so I knew I was in good hands.

After talking with multiple masons, I chose Maguire Masonry because he showed the most enthusiasm to do the work. He has a great ethic. Work began on my timetable and continued for about 12 days start to finish. Everyday, when I arrived home from work, Peter either dropped by or phoned to talk about the day's progress and the plan for the next day. The work was completed per a fairly detailed contract, there were no surprises. It was a very gritty, messy job, but the crew was always in good spirits and respectful of the property. A second contract was completed as an add-on to do the outside after the inside was done. I now have smooth concrete walls in the basement with metal lathe cemented inside, all waterproofed, and nicely finished around the new windows that were installed just beforehand. The outside of the foundation was re-mortared and a cement skirt laid up to the soil line. I am very pleased with the work done, have no complaints about the crew. We shook hands and I hope to be able to use him again if there is a need.

A day after I left a voicemail, they called me back to say that they are overloaded and wont be able to take up my contract.Though they did not take up my work, I think that their prompt response reflects their professionalism.

Peter was very responsive from the beginning, and came out to the house only a day after I called to take a look at the steps and assess the work to be done. He was by far the most responsive of the masons I contacted and very easy to reach as we worked through the details and landed on a day to get the work done. The work itself was completed in one day, as promised, and I'm very happy with the results. The basement entrance now has nice clean steps, with proper drainage so the water doesn't pool and seep into the basement when we have heavy rains. Highly recommend this company and will be looking to have them do work on my house in the future.

Peter was prompt and timely for the estimate and also for the work. The estimate was a compareable price compared to the three we obtained.. The chimney looks great. The workers were polite and neat they didn't leave a mess. Would definately use his company again and refer others as well. Very easy to work with.

Peter was very responsive and professional; his quote was competitive with other quotes we received and he performed the work as promised. He and his crew came when promised and completed it within several days. Very positive experience and we would definitely hire Peter again.

Peter was responsive and accommodating when giving us an estimate on the work to be performed. During the estimate he took pictures and showed us pictures of some similar work he had performed. He was the only contractor to also ask to see the outside of our house to assess if any work was needed on the exterior foundation. Peter and his team arrived early and on time each day they were here, and were sure to clean up each day. Out of 5 estimates he was the most fair for the work to be performed. We felt very confident hiring him to do the work. The final coat was very smooth, professional looking and complete. We painted the walls with waterproofing masonry paint after 30 days and the walls looked amazing. We were very pleased with Peter and his team's work ethic and attention to detail .

Peter suggested adding a cobblestone border to the walkway which looks great. He and his crew were on time and worked through the weekend to finish promptly. I would use him again for masonry needs.
