Mason was super easy to work with, fast, and was able to successfully fix both the hole in our foundation around a window where previous demo work had caused damage and some incomplete tuckpointing for our chimney. The work was not structural, mostly fixing cracks and/or holes related to the exterior.
Description of Work: item 1) foundation and related window well repair item 2) tuckpointing remaining area around chimney

Mason, who would do the work never called us after leaving our number with his father. At the least, he could have called and said he wasn't interested.

It went better than I dared hope. Roger answered the phone the first time I called and was very pleasant to deal with. I was able to send him a couple of pictures the inspector had taken and from those pictures Roger was able to give me an estimate. The work was done on time and to perfection. I am not living in that home right now, so Roger just emailed me after the work was complete, and sent pictures of the completed repair. Also in his email he gave me the address where I should send payment. Very pleasant experience!
Description of Work: I was trying to sell my home, and the buyer's inspector cited chimney repairs that were required.

Roger Shears and his son repaired an area of deteriorating brickwork on the front of our house. One challenge of the project was blending the existing bricks with the new restoration. The work was thoroughly explained each day and the results look great; they were professional, friendly, and courteous. The work area was kept clean throughout the project. Roger treated us as though we were neighbors and not just clients. We would definitely hire them again.

The job was more tedious than expected. Not only did they finish the repairs, then protected all my plants who survived--amazing. They're polite, hardworkding, punctual and did a great job of protecting what was around the foundation and cleaning up.
Description of Work: They repaired my foundation. They did an amazing job. Many of my neighbors commented how professional and polite this father/son team were. I've not had any work done on my foundation in years, but if I ever have another need, they will be the first I'll call. I've recommended them to many--they're awesome!! The end job was better than my expectations.

Excellent service, excellent communication, and excellent results. Clean-up was immaculate. Will be using them again for another masonry job.
Description of Work: The foundation of my house needed to be repaired. It is an old stone foundation (home built in early 1900's). They removed the stone, cleaned out the old sand, mortar, etc. and rebuilt it back up.

He does such great work. There was no residue, and you would not have known I had someone working. He did not hurry. He cleaned up after himself. He only had one fellow helping him that would help him get the buckets of cement. I am so pleased, and it was an odd shaped chimney.
Description of Work: He tore down my old chimney and put up a new chimney inside and everything.

ROGER VISITED TWICE BEFORE ACTUAL WORK BEGAN TO MAKE CERTAIN I UNDERSTOOD WHAT THE WORK INVOLVED AND TO SELECT GROUT COLOR. THE JOB WAS COMPLETED IN 3 DAYS WITH CLEANED BRICKS AND STONE AND THE SITE WAS LEFT CLEAN. WHILE MUCH FRONT ENTRY WORK IS YET TO BE COMPLETED (NEW DOOR, HOUSE NUMBERS, ETC.), MY HOME ALREADY LOOKS MORE INVITING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND SHEARS TUCKPOINTING.
Description of Work: AS PART OF A LARGER REMODELING PROJECT, SHEARS TUCKPOINTING REPAIRED MY BRICK TRIMMED FRONT ENTRY.
