Kevin Harrison Masonry

I'm new to the area, relocated from California to Southwestern Missouri, so I did not know any good contractors. I have met and hired many contractors to rehab my fixer-upper home. Kevin is "hands down" the best contractor I've met. I would use him again and recommend him to others, without hesitation. Kevin showed up every day on time. His work area was so clean at the end of every work day that you could hardly tell he was at my home. He sent me pics of the updated work so I could see the progress, which I loved. He quoted a price and finished the work within budget. He clearly knows his trade and has experience estimating. He is a good collaborator. If I had ideas about how I wanted something to look or changes I wanted to make, he listened and gave feedback. He offered options and let me know why some of my ideas might not give the result I want or look right. Ultimately, he installed what I wanted how I wanted and even gave me ideas that I added to the scope of work. He removed an ugly, small retaining wall from each side of my basement entrance and replaced it with two beautiful retaining walls, with a French drain running along the high side. We ended up adding a few things to the original scope of work, including adding a lineal drain across the entrance landing and removing old poorly installed concrete slab with new concrete sloped away from the door to meet the new drain. Inside my basement he installed two brick walls. His rows are perfect. Everything is level and evenly spaced. In fact it's so perfect that I've had several people ask me if it's real! As for my retaining wall, if there's such a thing as a sexy retaining wall, I have one! I love it! Beautiful curve! With my I fireplace, hearth, and chimney, I had old brick from 1955 which is virtually impossible to match. Kevin helped me come up with ideas to make changes that complimented the mid century modern design of my home, without breaking my budget. He removed my old brick hearths that were improperly installed and framed in new hearths that would not be so heavy and would not need footings below the floor joists. He also installed brick and stone on my chimney to bring it up to code (at least 36" from a flammable surface). And installed the missing cap on my chimney. If I had the budget for it, I'd ask him to build me a firepit and two large piers on each side of my driveway entrance. Kevin is an artist. He takes pride in doing a job well. If you want the best, hire Kevin.OverallAPriceBQualityAResponsivenessAPunctualityAProfessionalismA
