He struck me as highly intelligent, very thorough, and with a slight perfectionist streak. We did two circumambulations of the building, and reviewed the interior. He wanted to make exactly sure he understood what I wanted from him and how he thought he could best do it. I appreciated his thoroughness, both before he began the job and in his execution. His work was neat and clean and accomplished exactly what I needed, all for a good price. I will definitely be hiring him for my future masonry work.

BEWARE! Please DO NOT use AGM Construction for concrete repair/refinishing. We want to spare you…read morefrom our regrets. We waited a month after the work was performed, allowing time for the concrete to cure. Unfortunately, every day reveals new issues and overall product failure. There are two parts to this review, and I want to be fair regarding work that appears, for now, to be done well -- specifically repointing a large stone retaining wall and reinstalling stone treads on brick steps. Another thing to beware of is George's opinion of what should be done versus your express wishes. He will do what he wants. The second part of this review covers the other work in this project, refinishing concrete walkways and steps. That work delivered disastrous results, including extensive damage to shrubbery. I have many photos clearly showing the failed and failing concrete work as well as the shrubbery damage. In addition to the cracks and holes that are now visible, just walking on the concrete and hearing crackling sounds predicts that additional areas will soon visibly fail. There is not a single area of failure--it is everywhere. Despite many verbal assurances regarding quality, I can only describe AGM's concrete refinishing as incompetent. Our concrete surfaces are much worse now than before being "repaired." We wish we had something positive to say, but watching AGM's repair work continue to fail and our money mainly being wasted precludes that. We hope our miserable experience will be a strong caution should you consider AGM for any concrete repair work.

I interviewed a few masonry companies for repairing spalling brick in my basement. Some wanted to…read moreparge the walls, which was not what I wanted. Some quoted me fairly high prices for the repair, but Martin Forde offered me the best, and most reasonable cost for the job. During our interview Martin struck me as a competent, and fair mason and he is responsive by email, which are valuable traits in a contractor. We scheduled the job, and he and his team showed up right on time. The first thing I learned is that Forde masonry may not have a full time staff. Martin definitely came out to my job periodically to deliver materials, but the masons who did the work were actually two latinos who seemed to be day laborers. They were competent, and very polite as I asked questions in my broken Spanish, but that makes accountability a little more difficult. That became a problem when I was in the basement with another contractor, and I saw one of the mason repairing a hole that was two withes thick. He was just repairing the outward face that I could see, but leaving a whole in the second layer. I asked him about it, so he dropped some mortar into the hole, a few bricks, and kept on with his repair. Yes, it visually looks fine and I would not have noticed if I were not watching as the hole was getting closed up, but that is not what I expect when I hire a professional mason to repair my walls. My job is done though, and I hopefully will not need masonry help for a while. Most of the issues I had are easily fixed with a little more attention to detail, and oversight, so I would encourage others to give Martin a chance if you need masonry help.

We had none of the aggravation most contractors bring to a job. And they were in and out in a week. The walls had deteriorated in several areas because of water damage, house settling and age, as the house is nearly 100 years old. The interior of the closet was a real mess and now it looks really nice. He installed a new closet door and that was perfect, too. In sum, the completed work was impeccable. We are very happy to recommend Guy and his team. You'll be happy too.

The total cost was approximately $60,000.00. He was able to finish the work on time while my wife and I spent the winter in Florida. He kept us informed of the progress of renovation with messages, photos and emails. His work was neat and tidy and he built a frame for temporary curtains for us while waiting for installation of the glass shower. He did repair for us when we sold our home in Wellesley in April-May 2017 which was a $20,000.00 project. Because of his good work, we asked him renovate our recently purchased home in Jamaica Plain. He is an excellent contractor and carpenter, and I would not hesitate to recommend home for any kind of work. He is professional, competent and responsible.
