Gary Gilbert Masonry (GWG Masonry)

Mike did a did a great job in chimney repair and replacing some of the bricks, he also waterproof , while he was there inside the chimney liner so he repaired also , he also take a pic with a drone of before and after . It looks excellent.

Excellent work. Very personable. Looking forward to using him again in the spring for other stone work!

Hired Gary to replace a field stone wall along our house last August and gave him a deposit. Countless excuses and reschedules later he has no showed for a 3rd time. See other reviews on HomeAdvisor and NextDoor where he has done the same.

All his brick work appears to have been well done. His assistant did most of the work while he observed him, supervised him, and chatted with me. I am satisfied with his work. The only issue I feel deserves attention is that in order for this assistant to do the work under my bay window he needed to shovel out a couple of loads of coal ash (we think that's what it was, likely left from an old coal burning furnace many years ago) that had been in place in front of the bricks for many years. Doing this raised some dust. Even when shoveled gently, it created some deposits around the cellar and at the point where the work was being performed. My issue is that the assistant was allowed to do this without any protective gear. No face mask. No eye protection. When I pointed this out to the assistant he shrugged it off. When I pointed it out to Gary Gilbert he made no move to protect his worker. Unfortunately I myself did not step forward to insist for the protection. I recognize that this does not detract from the job he was doing. His brick work was fine. His failure to protect his worker is the concern here. That should have gone down differently and I regret my failure to intercede.

Gary worked through the worst weather under plastic to get the job done even though winter arrived hard. I had some extras that he treated me fair on.

Gary was always on-time and finished when he said he would.

Our brick front steps have been steadily deteriorating since we moved in 14 years ago. We contacted several masonry companies and Gary gave us a quote that fit our budget. We liked Gary's honesty about the project and the ideas he had for the job. He quoted us a price of 2k but said that if the steps were filled with sand then it would be an extra $500. We asked for this in a quote and Gary promptly sent it to us via email. The project took a little longer than expected with the weather hampering the work, but we had good communication with Gary throughout the project and when he said he'd be there, he and his crew showed up and worked steadily until it was time to stop for the day. Gary took his time to explain what they were doing and what they planned to do. When it was revealed that the sill behind the bricks did need repair due to rot, he made sure that we saw what needed repair and explained what he would do and assured us that it wouldn't go over the additional $500 he quoted. Quite simply, everything was upfront without a lot of B.S. We are very happy with our new front steps and we would definitely use Gary again for any future projects.

I called Gary in February of this year to get a bid on my construction project, out of four masons I called, he was the only one willing to come and meet me to go over my project needs. He provided a quick quote. I kept him in the loop over the remainder of the the winter and spring of our progress, he came out and looked at the actual job. He was very responsive to my phone calls, and got the project done in a timely fashion despite some weather delays. Best of all, his price stayed the same! I will definitely call him next time I need masonry work done!

I contacted Gary to do the brick work. He responded to the email on Angie's List the same evening and arranged to come over the next day for an estimate. He came and completed the job on time and rebuilt the wooden shelve that would hold the ovens as well. Very pleased.

Gary, started on time kept job site clean and neat, finished on time and budget.
