It went very well. Mr. Salinas worked quickly and cleanly. I am very pleased with the job. A year later and it looks better than ever, like the previous doorway never even happened.
Description of Work: He took brick we had used to make a path and re-used it to fill in where an exterior door had been, after a bathroom remodel removed the door.

They are always self meticulous and they did a good job. The price was fair. I got a couple of bids and the reason I went with them than the other guy was that the quote was pretty much the same but these columns have electrical lights sitting on them and the other company didn’t want be involved the electrical part. They said I might have to hire an electrician for that but I didn’t want to work with two contractors so that is why I went with RJ. I am going to use them again for some other work that I have coming up.
Description of Work: I did use RJ a couple of times. They rebuilt three brick column that I have. I have several brick columns around my fence and some of them were leaning really bad, they are old, so they tore them out and rebuilt them for me.

I needed bricks removed from a front section of my home where foundation shifting had caused unsightly cracks. I found Mr. Salinas through Angie's list and he promptly responded to a request for a bid, made an appointment and arrived on time, took measurements and told me he'd get back with me in a day or two with pricing. That was the last I ever heard from him. My experience with Mr. Salinas left me feeling he could not be relied upon. I found someone else to do not only the brick work I originally needed done, but added some Austin stone work, had my mailbox designed with brick and stone, had my concrete sidewalk replaced and several brick flower beds designed by another contractor.

Joseph Salinas and his crew did an incredible job. We first got him to come to install our Isokern fireplace. He is the only licensed installer in the Waco area. They did a wonderful job, quickly and on budget. Because the rock mason that had been working on the job for over two months quit in the middle of the job, Joseph and his crew fell in and completed the job for us. His work was superior to any other done on the jobsite and his crew was friendly, willing, and cleaned up beautifully after they finished. Not only did they complete the rock work on the exterior of the house and built a beautiful custom chimney, the interior work to include the fireplace surround and the mantle are a work of art! This many and his crew are a joy to work with. His work is superior, his work ethic is what you want from someone working to complete your job, and the end result is more than what you would expect. I can highly recommend Joseph for any of your masonry needs!to

He did an incredible job! He was quick and very thorough. He made sure the job was done to our satisfaction. There was no trace he was here once he finished the job...meaning they cleaned up after themselves. (That is a very rare thing with masons in my expereince.) Mr. Salinas is also proof that there still are contractors out there who have integrity and who conduct their business with integrity. (Also a very rare thing today) Mr. Salinas is also prompt and concientious. He makes organizing and completing a job easy since he is up to date in his communication methods. Mr. Salinas should be your pick when it comes to any masonary job!
Description of Work: Mr. Salinas rebuilt our mailbox from the ground up because it was knocked down by a car.

Joseph Salinas took my idea for a lighted firepit with a waterfall and made it a reality. This was something he had not done before but he got all the necessary contractors involved to create a beautiful outdoor firepit. He was always just a phone call away whenever I had questions about the process. He was there to explain what was happening at every step. He did exactly what he said he would do and more. Joseph was great to work with and even helped me with design tips on other projects I was attempting to do myself. The result was a beautiful, one-of-a-kind firepit with a waterfall on the exterior sides of the firepit. Overall, this was a great experience and Joseph was terrific to work with.
Description of Work: Joseph designed an created a firepit with an exterior waterfall and lighting. He built the firepit using Gatesville stone in a dry-stack design. Because of the waterfall and the lighting that would be part of this firepit, he solicited the help of a plumber, Mike Buchanan (Buchanan Plumbing) and an electrician, Brian Walden (Texas Select Electric) to help with the design and completion of the project.
