Palmieri Masonry

They did an excellent job and kept me informed throughout the job. Good communicators and responsive to my questions and a little follow up and the end when I wanted a slight change to the work that they had completed.

Good work at a reasonable cost. Prompt and responsive.

He is very prompt to reply, and easy to communicate with. He did the work well and at a reasonable price. His work and his demeanor instill confidence. I highly recommend him.

Mr. Palmieri did the tuck pointing that was needed, removing the loose bricks and refitting them. He also repaired where the foundation had been moved by ground water. Extremely neat and polite. He clearly explained what he was doing and what the causes could have been for the problem. Excellent experience!

Great! Pat checked the entire perimeter of the house and attached garage. He replaced broken/missing bricks in the front porch steps and behind the house, and re-mortared many (many) places where the mortar was cracked and split.

Pat gave me a quick response and estimate via email. He gave me an approximate timeframe, subject to weather(with all this heat this summer mortar dries out too quickly). He and associate came over and completed all the work in a day. He held to his estimate and the work looks great. He also made a few suggestions that he spotted around the house foundation for us to consider.

It went really well. Pat and an assistant came out and did the tuck pointing, patching, and fixing the hole in the garage wall. The patched brick looks great; they used cement but made it look like the profile of real brick with grout lines, so that after it is painted you'll never know it was patched. They were prompt, professional, and pleasant to work with. Would definitely recommend.

Pat did an excellent job tuck pointing our sandstone. I would suggest him if you need his services.

Pat's professionalism was incredible. He was extremely flexible and worked within my timeframe. He was very punctual, offered a full explanation of what was needed, provided a very competitive estimate, and ever offered to fix my chimney at the same time. While his price wasn't the lowest, I was thoroughly impressed by how fair and honest he was which is tough to find these days. He also provided me one of his partner's names in another area of expertise to work on something else for me. it was a pleasure working with Pat.

I agreed to him doing 2 steps, instead of one, as I assumed he would do the job properly, and up to building code. After he was done, I did tell him it looked good. I found out that just b/c something looks good, doesn't mean it was done well. I had a separate issue with my front porch. As I began to get estimates, 4 separate and unrelated professionals all told me the work Mr. Palmieri did was either done poorly, and/or not up to building code. These professionals included: another masonary, a levelling company and 2 construction companies. I still didn't want to jump to conclusions, so I contacted my City's Building Dept. The head of the Building Dept, and his Assistant came out to my property. They said the work he did was not up to code. They did state they were a bit surprised, as they knew of Mr. Palmieri, and he usually had done good work. I wrote Mr. Palmieri a letter stating what I had been told and stated I expected him to do the professionally responsible thing and reimburse me half my money. He replied, and refused, stating he did follow all codes. He wanted to know specifically which code he didn't follow. I contacted the Building Department. They gave me the codes and I passed them onto him. He continued to say he followed all codes and wanted to know if the Building Commissioner actually measured the steps. I told him I didn't know and he'd need to speak with them ,as that wasn't my expertise. He spoke to the Assistant Building Commissioner. Afterwards, Mr. Palmieri stated he still did nothing wrong and that the officials from the Building Dept. never literally measured the steps, so they couldn't say he did anything wrong. When I checked back with the Building Dept., the Assistant Building Commissioner did state that he did tell Mr. Palmieri that he hadn't actually measured it. However he maintained the measurements were not correct, and told Mr. Palmieri that if he had pulled a permit, the discrepancy would've been discovered when they came out to inspect his work. I asked them if he was legally supposed to pull a permit. They said "Yes". When I confronted Mr. Palmieri with that information, he simply replied that he hadn't needed a permit in the past when he'd done work, similar to what he did for me. I believe it's his responsibility to know when he does and does not, need to pull a permit. I am still requesting half of money reimbursed, as the Building Dept. has continued to state he didn't follow code, and it could've been avoided if had pulled the permit,

I contacted Pat on Sunday and since he lived close he said he could take care of the job quickly. He came by Monday to inspect the steps and give me a final estimate, then came Tuesday to complete the work. He was prompt and efficient and very good to work with. He was able to spot other areas of my home that could use some work and had suggestions for how to get those repaired as well. An excellent experience!

It went very well. We corresponded via AL, he came by to do the work, left, and I paid him promptly. He was very detail-oriented and communicated with me the whole way. He's a very nice guy, as well!

They were very professional and obviously knew what they were doing. They were very responsive to my phone calls and did very nice work. I would recommend them to others and I would use them again.

I recently purchased a home in bad need of tuckpointing. When calling for quotes, Pat was the only one of four masons that I called who came out promptly for a quote. His quote was reasonable, though not the lowest. Because of the rainy spring, Pat was delayed from working on my home past his original estimated start date. When he was able to start the work, however, the job turned out to be worse than he expected. He had quoted me with the belief that about 10 -15 bricks would need to be removed. It turned out to be about 40 bricks were removed. However, he repaired it correctly, and only asked if I could reimburse him for the extra materials - no extra labor charge, even though the scope of the repair had about tripled. He also made suggestions of things I could do to help maintain chimney so problem did not reoccur. He and his helper were polite and neat. I would easily hire him again if I needed more masonry work.

Called and spoke with owner,left name and phone number (work & home) but never got a call back

They left the area clean. I was very pleased with work. I would tell friends and family they are easy to talk to and very easy to work with.

It was not a big job but Mr. Palmieri promptly gave me an estimate and when the weather cooperated he did the repairs to my total satisfaction.

He is a great mason, the hole was about 30and quot; X 18and quot; I was shocked at $600 but it was an emergency, no time to call around. Flip side, he matched the 100 year old bricks perfectly and it looks like the hole never was.

. Mr. Palmieri was a very pleasant person to work with. He also went out of his way to inspect the rest of the outside of my home for any other flaws. He will be coming back to fix some more problems that he saw. He had a helper, named Chris who was also very pleasant to work with. Chris will be coming back to do some repairs on my garage siding that I need repaired. I would recommend this company to anyone. I feel that his prices are very fair for the work that they did. Most people would not even look at a job so small, but Pat went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied.

Has done previous work... good job then...good job now. Called, he was out the next day, gave me price, came the following week to do the work.

Was prompt, neat and complete with the job we agreed to.

Arguably best tradesmen experience we've had in 20 years of homeownership. Exceptional work and communication. Happy to provide reference, asked Pat to come back and do other work but fear that he is too popular/busy! Great guy. Can't go wrong with him.

Job went well, he was trying to fit me into his schedule since it was so late in the year job took about 2-3 days to finish.

The Palmieri Masonry Co. visited the hole in my garage when they said they would and provided a prompt assessment of what needed to be done and how they would do it. The job was done on the specified date, and I considered the repair to be quite professional. I am fully satisfied.

The small back porch on our 80+-year-old house was slowly collapsing because the brick piers holding it up were unsound. I needed somebody to fix the porch's foundation. I also needed somebody to rebuild the porch itself -- its floor was rotting and the joists holding it up were failing. Pat previously had done nice work on tuckpointing my front steps, so I contracted with him for this masonry job. It was the right call. He's very skilled, honest, conscientious, and courteous. Pat assessed the situation and recommended a course of action: remove the piers; install footers, as necessary; rebuild the piers; tuckpoint the masonry steps; and fix the back wall of the house, which needed tuckpointing and holes filled in. He executed the solution expertly and at a fair price. Furthermore, at my request, he recommended a contractor to handle the porch rebuild. I took his recommendation. Again, the right call. Pat instills that kind of trust. The contractor pulled the porch away to expose the masonry and used temporary supports to hold up the porch roof. On separate days, Pat performed the masonry work, which included installing partial concrete footers. The contractor then returned to rebuild and reinstall the porch on its now sound foundation. Pat took the lead in coordinating his and the contractor's work. And he was outstanding in communicating with me throughout the process. The end result is a porch that is rock solid, safe, and looks great.
