POUNDERS MASONRY

The new cultured stone looks better than the original stone by far. Job was done on schedule and as promised. Beautiful stone work. I was told the job would take 2 weeks and it took 2 weeks to the day,. Great Job.

Billy was a terrific mason, the completed chimney draws well and the stoves have been tested and work. Our chimneys were in bad shape and I could see daylight through the joints because the mortar was in such bad shape. Water was damaging the house by soaking through the chimney - it was in bad shape and the house was losing integrity because of the degraded mortar and bricks. I was concerned about the restoration because I want the house restored not remodeled. Billy found bricks that matched the original from his sources. The mortar was a problem since he added additional cement for strength which made getting the color right a problem. It isn't right yet but he said we can consider bleaching. I may not do that because I think showing the scars add to the house's character so I am still undecided. Billy's creativity and eye for the our home's age, as well as knowledge of other homes of similar vintage made him invaluable.

Excellant work, Professional and punctual. All work was done to our satisfaction and looked better than we had hoped for. This is the second time I have used Pounder mansonary and I will not hesitate to use them again if needed in the future. The first job was done a couple years ago and the 60 year old brick chimney on my home was falling apart. Pounder masonary rebuilt it and they carefully cleaned and reused the old brick so the appearance of the chimney matches perfectly with the old brick that was not torn down. Both jobs were on budget with no suprises. The work areas were cleaned up and left in excellant condition. Jim and Terry Mount Carmel, Tn
