I was very happy with the work that was done and the gentleman who did the work was very nice. I was not home when the work was done, so I cannot comment on the work that was done from start to finish. I would recommend D.L. Gardner Construction for masonry work.
Description of Work: Repaired/replaced the crown on both of our chimneys, rebuilt part of one chimney where it had deteriorated, replaced bricks on one chimney where several bricks had deteriorated and fallen off the chimney, acid washed the brick where the brick and mortar work was done, and replaced one glass block window that was broken.

I called them because I noticed cracks on the exterior of the chimney. They came to look at the chimney and left an estimate. One estimate was for a repair of the chimney and another was for replacement. Because I had a ceiling leak in the area under the chimney I opted for a full replacement. I called to set-up a time to get the work done but they could not schedule a work date when I called. They asked that I call back in a few weeks to set-up a time. I did call them back and they came to perform the work a few weeks after that. I wasn't home when the work was done so I just have to assume that they did a good job. Unfortunately they did not leave a description of the work that was performed. I called back and asked about this and he said for me to just look at the estimate. I wasn't pleased with this response. I can't fairly grade this company now. It's best that I wait until the spring to see if I still have a leak.
Description of Work: My chimney was replaced.

Over all the job went very well. I am 100% satisfied with the contractor's work and professionalism. He repaired all of the mortor joints as outlined along with replacement of all of the brick mentioned. He even noticed a few spots after the initial review and took care of the repairs to those areas as we did a review of the work. In this case the brick for my home was no longer made. What we decided to do was to replace brick on the visible areas of the home with the same brick in the back puting the new bricks back there so they would not deter from the look of the brick on the front or sides of the home. I had requested some extra brick as well. Due to the extra time he had to take researching the brick he came up with as close a match as he could. I did pay him extra for this as it added much more time then he or I originally expected. The contracter is very professional and he cleans up after his work. He is very detail oriented and a perfectionist. I would recommend this contractor to anyone who needs masonry work performed.
Description of Work: The service I needed was masonry repair. The contractor made an initial review and pointed out areas that he would replace brick and morter. I was provided an estimate. The contractor also took pictures of the brick to perform a match. He was very pleasant and answered all of the questions I had.

I contacted Dennis Gardner by phone. He stopped by when no one was home but left me a detailed quote. I authorized the work by phone. Based on the feedback in Angie's list I did not even get any other quotes. He said it would take 2 to 3 weeks to get it done. But, he did it in about 1 week. He called the day before the work to confirm that it was OK. He did the work in one day, again while no one was home. While he was here my neighbor had him do some work on his porch. My neighbor was happy with the work too. Overall, he did a good job when he said he would at a fair price. If I need any more brick work I would call him. He honored his 10% Angie List coupon.
Description of Work: Removed / Replaced top 12 rows of brick on Chimney. Reused existing brick where possible. Replaced top 12" of Flu. Pour new concrete chimney wash collar. Tuck point mortar joints. Clean and haul away debris.

Replied to phone call, provided estimate and started/finished job all on a timely basis. Since he worked until dark, it was easy to miss one spot on the chimney which required some additional mortar clean-up. When called about this, he promised to fix it shortly... and kept his promise within a matter of days. He was very pleasant to work, knowledgable, experienced, explained what needed to be done, answered questions fully, and did very good work at a competitive price. Highly recommended!
Description of Work: Replaced nearly 100 bad bricks. Completely replaced chimney cap using better materials than the original construction. Chimney looks much better and is in much better physical condition.

Overall satisfied with work done on both chimneys. Work was done as specified in the proposal. Piece of mortar fell during work and tore a window screen. Company flagged it and reduced price of job to factor in the cost of replacing the screen. I think that was very good on their part to own up and compensate for the issue. I had asked them to check for any other cracks in the brickwork that could be fixed/touched up while they were on-site. Not sure they did a due diligence on the rest of the brickwork. Would have been happy to pay a little extra and get other minor fixes done while they were on-site. Would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Repaired loose bricks in both chimneys (main and furnace). Poured new concrete and replaced/repaired chimneys.

My husband and I chose this company based on Angies list.We phoned for an estimate and Dennis came out within a couple days of the call.He came out about 2 weeks later to do the work and called to let us know beforehand exactly what day and time.He arrived as stated and started the work. He cleaned up all the concrete block and brick,even blew debris off my driveway.His work is very professional and neat.I would hire this company again should I need any masonary work done in the future!
Description of Work: Brick home built in 1955.Front porch brick crumbling away on the front porch between steps.Cement Block retaining wall was starting to cave in on both sides near back entrance . Old wall was removed and rebuilt with new block and limestone caps.(Looks GREAT!) Approximately 25 crumbling bricks were removed from the front porch and new ones mortared in. Brick work is very professional and neat looking.He also did a small area of tuck pointing on the side of my garage. He was very professional,polite and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I thought that he was excellent. His price was a little bit high but I think the scope of his masonry work would have been excellent. I needed masonry plus some other things to be done so I didn't think he'd be able to provide that. If it was just masonry work, I would totally recommend him. I needed a little bit of roofing work along with the masonry as well as a furnace aluminum pipe going down the chimney. I would consider him more of just a mason.

I tried for a 10 days to even get anyone to give me an estimate. No luck. I joined Angies list, got some names and had estimates within a couple days. All were close but Garners included some detail work some others said I'd have to sub out. which would have increased cost. They showed me some brick samples to approve before they got started, showed up when promised, got the work done in a day, and left the area spotless.

He was a lot more reasonable than any of the other quotes. He was efficient, quick and got the job done. There was no hassle. He does good work and it’s a small company; so not a lot of overhead and he gets the time and is affordable.

I contracted D.L.Gardner Construction to perform masonary "tuck pointing" on my house. We walked the exterior together, while I pointed out the areas that needed addressing. I was given a written quote, which included a frim price, all materials and full clean and haul away of debrie. I was away at work when Mr Gardner performed his work. The job was beautiful, and the site was extremely well cleaned. He even addressed an area we did not discuss, but he noticed. There was not additional charges from his quote. I would recommend him, and use him again. Extremely satisfied!

I had a problem with a leaking chimney - we had other service providers try and address the problem, and they cited issues with the flashing... however, the problem persisted. I am afraid of heights so didn't go on the roof itself, but was led to believe it had a concrete cap. I called Dennis for help... on inspection, Dennis noted that it was not a concrete cap - however, he identified the problem (cracking tar on top of chimney from previous repair effort) and offered to fix it that afternoon (the purpose of the visit was to give me an estimate). We agreed on a price, and Dennis went to a local store to buy the necessary suppliers, and finished the repair within the hour. Since his visit, we no longer have a leaky chimney! We appreciated Dennis' punctuality, honesty and flexibility.

His cost estimate came in two hundred less than another estimate I got. He was also able to come and do the repairs right away. He was flexible with payment as well. I was able to pay him after the work was done. He matched the foundry brick and spent a lot of time doing so.
Description of Work: I have foundry brick and a chimney cap that cracks. I had a chimney cap repaired, and a row of foundry brick replaced on my chimney. I also had him out a 2nd time for additional work since I was so impressed with the work done on his first visit. I had him repair some areas that were damaged when my new heater/AC was put in. I also had him remove a sattelite dish and fill in the holes on the roof.

The work done by them was very good and I would recommend them. The guy who came out was very professional and was quick. He did a really great job. I thought that the price was reasonable. I had asked around a little bit in order to compare the prices. It was worth it for the work that he did. So you get what you pay for. I had an inspection set up for 9 o?clock but he came and first dug the rat wall. I had an inspection at 9 the following day and he was here at 9:30 to pour it. So he was incredibly punctual. I would use his services again.

Very professional job. Dennis worked from morning till evening without breaks. It was a very messy job and when he was finished all debris had been removed and the concrete dust had been hosed off. He did an excellent job matching the new brick to the old. It was a pleasure to have someone take such pride in his work.
