Alternative Masonry Solutions

Took 3 MONTHS to do a job he bid for 2-3 weeks. Had millions of excuses why he didn't show up when he said he would & had a very volatile temper when things didn't go his way, When I had to go out of town he told me he would be there every day working....my neighbor said he never once showed up. When he did he would only be here 2-4 hours and whine and ***** about things I couldn't control, like the heat. He was whiny, disruptive with his dogs, brought a convicted felon on the property to help him who would collect his money and go, leaving him to work alone. He would disappear for days, then come back and work like crazy. I wanted to fire him so many times but knew I'd never get anyone to finish my wall, so I spent a miserable summer putting up with him. Many times he was a nice as he could be and then he would just go off and I never knew what would set him off. End result? I have a very nice wall. He built 2 gates that fell apart after 6 weeks and when I texted him he told me he would not repair/replace or refund me because of how little he made on the job (I paid what he bid). Then he threatened to post a non-existent video of a non-existent event he says occurred when we went to the local hardware store. Unbelievable! I didn't give him a 1 star rating because he is a terrific mason, but unfortunately my experience was that his attitude and issues over-ride his skills.

Friendly and courteous. He did the estimate on Monday and returned Tuesday to do the job. It looks great! I’m so relieved that the steps are safe again.

The work went very well. Showed up on time and completed the work in two days as promised.

My brick column mailbox at the curb had begun to lean. I looked for a masonry contractor to repair it. Dale Craggs of Alternative Masonry Solutions fixed my leaning brick mailbox expertly and affordably. He and his assistant were personable and professional. They added rebar to the foundation, and Dale went the extra mile to tuck up the mortar where needed, and paint the column with masonry sealant. I was completely satisfied with the work performed, and I would recommend AMS to anyone without hesitation.
