+ 0 moreGary repaired the two brick buttresses that had pulled away from the main front porch by using a mortar formulated with latex to expand and contract to allow for changes in climate conditions. The structural wing on the left side of my home was deconstructed and rebuilt after Gary poured a foundation footing below the frost line to prevent another occurrence of fracturing through ice forming beneath the brickwork. I was very impressed by Gary?s enthusiasm to solve a masonry problem. Gary has an inquisitive nature as to why and what conditions would cause masonry to fail. He asked the age of the building and noted that the stone work incorporated an old but very secure interlocking method of brick setting.I had asked Gary for a cost estimate for replacing a concrete approach on my front porch as well as the cost installing a single concrete step for the side porch. I plan to have this work completed before the snow flies. Later I will get a price on demo and replacing the floor in my two car garage. I would highly recommend Gary for his quality of work, pricing and timely manner in getting the job done!
Description of Work: I had Gary come to my home early September 2013 . He was very prompt and asked a lot of questions about the work I wanted him to perform. I had brick work at tuck pointing that needed to be addressed. My brick 2 story home was built in 1926 and in relatively good shape except for some issues with the face brick caused by the settling and the age of the home. The front left side of my home’s porch had the face brick pulling away from the cinder blocks, the house needed the brick tuck pointed in front of my home beneath a built in mail box, and the two side porch buttresses were pulling away from the porch slab and parts of one of the them was fractured. The left side of my home has an ornate wing that was fractured because it did not have a foundation properly supporting it . Ice build up beneath the brick raised the structure upward and caused the mortar and brick to separate. The rear of my home had to have the brick tuck pointed because my home was settling and stress cracks in the mortar of the bricks was either crumbling or separating. Gary was very inquisitive about the age of the home , he expressed an appreciation for the workmanship of the brick work that incorporated the use of “Clinkers” the enhanced the appearance of the home. He had mentioned that he would make sure that the color of the mortar repairs would be color tinted to match the existing mortar. I hadn’t thought of that and he offered suggestions on how to solve the problem I had with three or four bricks that had pressure cracks .He resolved it by chiseling out the cracks and filled the opening with the repair mortar.

Description of Work: Gary is a professional! He arrived ontime, did more than we expected! The work was done so well! We have had several comments on how nice it looks. Gary completed everything in timely manner. Work that was done he inspected, and repaired both chimney's. Pointed everything that needed attention. I would call on him again if I have any masonary jobs!

+ -1 moreIt went incredibly well. I called to schedule an estimate, and he (Gary) came out the same day to give me the estimate. I had gotten a couple of other estimates, but his was the lowest. After I called him to tell him that I would be using his company, we scheduled a time within that week that he would be out. He called later and said that he could come out to do the job the next business day. He came out the day he said, did the work, cleaned up afterwards, called to schedule a time to meet shortly thereafter so that he could check the work and make sure that I was happy with it. He was also the one to tell me that there was a coupon for Angie's List members, so he gave me that discount on his original quote (and he stayed within his original quote). He didn't try to sell me on anything that I didn't need, and was really nice and friendly. They seem to really take pride in doing a good job, and I couldn't be happier. If I ever have a need for his services again, I will definitely give him a call.
Description of Work: They poured a section of concrete from my driveway that had been removed to address some sewer line issues, tuck pointing

+ -1 moreThe owner arrived to provide the estimate on the day scheduled. On the first day of work he removed the existing porch structures, fabricated and replaced the limestone door sills, rebuilt the required porch masonry with the recycled bricks, replaced the deteriorating bricks and completed the tuck pointing. Both the sills and brickwork were very impressively done and fit in accurately with the existing architecture, which was a high priority given the age of the house and the uniquness of the existing materials. Matching the existing mortar was extremely effective and the brickwork and tuck pointing turned out better than I had ever hoped it would.On the second day, the sides of the front steps were completed with a "pool surfacing " material. Although this did not fit in with the existing architecture, it was effective, and will be eventually hidden by landscaping.
Description of Work: Old masonry front porch structures (circa 1927) were removed from the sides of the front porch steps. The limestone caps were used to fabricate two eroding door sill replacements. The bricks were salvaged to rebuild part of the remaining porch structure and to replace several bricks deteriorating from salt exposure. Tuck pointing repaired mortar deterioration around the front door.

Description of Work: He tuck pointed and replaced brick on two chimneys. He rebuilt the chimney cap. He repaired some small walls and replaced several bricks around the house. He also spot tuck pointed inside locations around the house.

+ 0 moreThis company did a couple of separate jobs in the past at my home, and I thought they did a good job with the previous repairs.When I first called, Gary picked up, and I told him about my concerns. He said he couldn't talk at that moment, but to give him a call back and leave my number on his voice mail, and he would call me back later that day. I did what he asked. I waited two days for a call back that never happened. I tried again on May 9th, again no return call. If you are too busy, at least call to say so, I'll understand. Not returning calls isn't good business.
Description of Work: I'm having a problem with what I think is the chimney or liner. Wanted them to come out and check it.

+ -1 moreGary came out in early April and gave me a quote for repairing the stairs on our front porch. There was also some rust on some of the stones, and he said that he would try and remove it, but no guarantees. We agreed that he would start the week of April 23, and he would call prior to let me know when he would begin the job. He dropped by on 4/26 and told me he would be starting the next day.Gary arrived on 4/27 later than expected and replaced the broken stones. The color he had chosen for the replacement stones was totally off as he wanted to add more red so the rust would blend in vs. the rest of the stones which are grey. He told me that he would have to come back the next day because it was too cold for the mortar to set. He didn't come back on Saturday. I called a few times, and he told my husband that he would come back on Monday May 7 to complete the job. He didn't show up. I have called repeatedly and often the voice mail is full so you can't leave a message. I did manage to leave three messages, and none were returned. My final message indicated that I assumed he had abandoned the job and we would be looking for another company. The worst part? Two days after using the steps, the replacement stones started to break and fall apart. The entire job will have to be redone.
Description of Work: Repair our front porch steps. Also try and remove rust stains on existing stones.

+ -1 moreGary was very knowledgable and knew exactly how to correct the problem. It was a big job because they needed to remove a row of bricks, cut them down and then rebrick. They worked on the weekend, finished the job quickly and you can't even tell that there was ever a problem.
Description of Work: Brothers Masonry corrected the outside limestone sills on 3 large windows on our 1950's brick home. The limestone was slanted toward the window instead of away which lead to water leaking behind the drywall.

+ -1 moreGary removed an old wall a/c unit and used old bricks we had to fill the resulting hole. The work was done at a second house we are renovating, and Gary was very professional in the contacts and in setting expectations. The first time we saw the completed work we were extremely happy with the outcome. Gary then indicated that he wasn't done and had some clean-up to finish on the brick-work--we would never have known it wasn't completed if he hadn't called. He takes great pride in his work and it shows! A month after the work was completed and it looks completely original. If you need any brickwork done, give Gary a call today!

Description of Work: Great work! Very professional yet personal enough to seem genuine. Can tell they had lots of experience and passion for their work. Replaced and repaired 2 chimney caps and reinforced (tucked) wobbly bricks. Also patched and reset two brick window boxes. Wouldn't accept a dime until weeks later when came back to inspect setting and complete mortar clean up. One of the best contracting experiences ever. Real deal!

They met and beat a price that I had previously gotten for my front porch stairs. They were very responsive and I will use them again in the future.

I called him a couple of days later and he gave me a date when he would be there. He came with his helper and stayed for about 10 hours completing the brickwork. He returned several day later when everything had dried and caulked the area.
Description of Work: The owner, Gary Bucciarelli, removed and rebuilt a fairly large portion of brick that was pulling away from the house. I think he did a very good job and seemed to take great pride in his work. He and his helper worked about 10 hours one day and then returned several days later when the area had dried and finished with some caulking . I had received a similar estimate from someone else to do much less work (only replacing some of the bricks).

Description of Work: Discovered water dripped into fireplace. Brothers Masonry evaluated the cause and did the necessary repairs, reset the stone cap of the chimney, poured new concrete slopewash, tuckpointed loose brick inside and out, resealed flashing. We also requested a special damper to stop drafts and heat loss. They installed it at the time of the repairs.

He spent about an hour at my house showing me exactly how to do everything the best and least expensive way possible. He gave me an estimate for him to do the work which was incredibly reasonable. I would recommend Gary to anyone who needs a good, honest opinion and a reasonable quote on work.
Description of Work: Fantastic help. I recieved a quote on some masonry work from someone else, and it seemed fishy, so I called Gary to get another estimate.
