Description of Work: They repaired an underground drainage system that had been dug up when we had a gas line installed. The clay drain pipes leading from the gutters in two places had been broken. Our house was built in the 1890's. They knew exactly what to do and put in piping very quickly to replace the broken pipes. This was important since the ditch that had been dug went right up to the foundations of the house and we were getting water into the basement as a result of the broken drain pipes. Patrick took care of our problem in a very timely fashion. They recovered the ditch that had been dug, leveled the ground and planted grass. I would highly recommend this company. This is our second time using them and we will certainly us them in the future.

Description of Work: Ace workers are excellent and they are concerned with their clients being satisfied with the quality of their work! I am very satisfied with all they performed for my home. My blue stone walkway was crumbling and the grout had disappeared, as were many of the blue stone steps along the side of my home. Ace gave me an estimate to perform the work and they completed the work within two days after beginning which was very impressive. My walkway from my driveway to my front door looks brand new so I thank them for their excellent craftsmanship!! Thank you Angie's List!!

Description of Work: This guy thinks hes a savvy business man. Comes to my home and spends less than 2 minutes, takes 3 pictures and walks out. And of course he doesnt forget to mention all the GOOD reviews on Angie's list, but when I have to call 4 times, leave messages, and get no call back, then its time to move onto to someone who is serious. Because he didnt listen to what I actually wanted, he missed things that I asked for, and didnt properly look at the area for the work that I asked to be estimated, so didnt have a complete estimate for the work. And he threw some numbers over the phone to me, with no written estimate. Then I call back to follow up for a written estimate at least 4 times, left messages, and no one gets back to me. BE WARE before you choose someone like this. In my opinion, someone who you CANNOT get in touch with BEFORE they start a job, will leave you HIGH AND DRY once they do get the job. Needless to say, I went with someone else. I cant deal with contractors who give me the run around..and thats what you get.

Description of Work: A crew of 5 workers, plus the owner/boss came in and are hard at work! I'm impressed with their efforts.

Description of Work: I had called this contractor for a concrete estimate. He gave me an oral estimate of $25 K. later when I received the written estimate it was changed to $20K. Still I had someone who was cheaper and would do the same job for less. A week later I called this contractor back to see if he could give me a quote on the driveway and he said he would come by during the week and get an estimate. He came and never called me back. I called him back the following Saturday and he had an attitude about the work the other contractor did. He told me he didn't do anything for the money I paid, trying to make me fel like I got ripped of. I didn't want to discuss that with him because the work I had done by the other contractor was modified and still much cheaper than him and I didn't want to argue with him. I told him that was behind us and asked if he had a quote for the driveway. I was told that it would cost $8,500. I feel that is really high and he told me he's not cheap but that he does good work. He had the attitude that he couldn't care less if he had my business or not. What a change from the first time he seen me. He felt just because I called him for a free quote that I was obligated to hire him. I just didn't like his overall demeanor.

Description of Work: Our front steps cracked and had bricks falling out. The railings were the cause due to them not being sealed properly.

Description of Work: We asked for an estimate.

Description of Work: Pat and crew did 2 jobs. Repaired and resurfaced our steps and underneath's storage area. Work was quick and reliable. Any issues were resolved timely. They also installed an Anderson Frenchwood slider by our patio. Involved a lot of chipping out old concrete, installing a new steel header and re-concreting/sealing/painting. Ordering the door was seamless and the work was done in a few days. All calls were returned. Pat and his crew offered additional advice where they saw fit as well.

Description of Work: The job consisted of replacing a concrete walkway with pavers, building a small staircase in our backyard, and building a patio in the backyard with pavers. We also wanted some stucco applied to two cement block piers and a cellar door platform. It also included replacing limestone treads on our front steps.

Description of Work: I would like to use this site and opportunity to convey my pleasure in working with Pat Allen and his team of skilled workers at Ace Masonry & Builders. Originally Pat was hired to rip up a 100 X 20 driveway and replace the original concrete with new concrete. During the planning phase of the project, Pat recommended that we go with pavers instead of re-pouring concrete because the price difference would be insignificant but the added value to the property tremendous, which we did. During the work phase, his team worked extremely hard at getting the job complete. During this phase Pat also recommended that we throw a designer circle into front of the circle (at no charge), which we did (and it looks great). The job was performed in less than 6 business days with a price well below any estimate I received. Once the job was complete, Pat replaced the grass surrounding my driveway to ensure the final product was visually stimulating to not only me, but also my neighbors.

Description of Work: He constructed a retaining wall using natural rock facing.

Description of Work: They installed a paver patio and corrected concrete foundation work that another contractor had messed up.

Description of Work: Removed two 60 year old brick staircases and replaced them with new ones. Also removed 60 year old flagstone walkway and replaced it.

Description of Work: They poured some concrete steps and a stoop for my front door. They poured three steps by the front door and four steps for the curb area in front of my house.

Description of Work: Demolished a back shed space that was attached to our building and accessible through a back door. It was to become a small 9x24 enclosed back courtyard with a pergola roof (roof to be self-built). Ace removed the existing roof and all debris. Put mesh, scratch, and top coat of cement on two walls totaling 30x8ft. Built an exterior third wall of cinder blocks and cement. Patched up brick wall with cement including around air ducts and windows where specified. Laid 1 in. bluestone in cement, 24x9ft. Cleaned and checked drainage system.

Description of Work: We needed to have a huge job done in our basement to make it more livable. I needed to have at least 2.5 feet of earth removed (excavated) to make the ceilings high enough to work/live in. In order to do this, we would have to have an entirely new foundation system underpinnings put in place under our brownstone base structure. The installed new lolly columns, and did a fantastic job with demolition and debris removal. Pat and his crew didn't blink an eye at the demands of the job. They immediately met with their structural engineer and planned a way to excavate, underpin, build new masonry steps, acid wash the bluestone walls, point the crumbled section of mortar and pour new concrete floors in my basement.

Description of Work: THE FRONT STEPS TO MY HOME WERE DETERIORATING AND I HAD THEM REPLACED. MR. KAISER CAME AND REDID MY FRONT STEPS. HE MADE THEM OUT OF BRICK AND PLACED TWO RAILINGS ON THE SIDE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR OLDER PEOPLE.
