I met the owner, David, when he was doing some work for a neighbor. The neighbor spoke highly of…read morethe experience and the result, so I called the company. And I called one other company for a second bid. David showed up in time for our appointment, and his explanation of the problem (80 year old mortar in our brick house was falling out). The previous owner had gotten some of it repaired. That mortar was failing, too. I was particularly concerned because one pillar that carries a heavy load was cracked so badly (see photo) that you could see daylight through it from top to bottom. David explained why it had failed, and how the repair work someone had done years ago made matters worse. His bid that was about the same price as the other firm, but his explanation -- and the bid itself -- were so clear that D. Masonry was my obvious choice. He provided me with proof of insurance, too, a request the other company ignored. They lived up to my high expectations. Watching them work, I realized that tuck pointing is a highly skilled craft, practically an art form. They took the time to mix and try a range of mortar colors. With their help, we selected the one they advised. Now that the new mortar has completely dried, I can see it is a perfect color match. The pillar I was so nervous about? They elaborately jacked up and stabilized things, so they could remove the pillar, which they disassembled completely, laying out all the bricks (with all the old mortar removed), so they could put them back exactly as they were, only sturdy now, and good as new. Masonry repairs -- done well -- simply disappear when the work is done, right? As long as I own this house, my gratitude for this job-well-done will live on.

I do not leave reviews for people I do not hire but I found this team to be very rude. I am happy…read moreto share screenshots of text with Yelp staff for proof on my interaction with this team. Even phone records if they would like. I called on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. There was no answer and I left a voicemail. Never heard back from them so I called again on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. I started to leave another voicemail and my voicemail was randomly disconnected in the middle, which was weird (also a feature many networks let you do if you preview the voicemail and decide not to proceed). So I sent a text and he called me back immediately. This part felt better honestly, finally able to talk to someone. I sent him my name and address via text, he will send me date and time options for scheduling. Later a few days later, the team texted me saying they would like pictures instead. This is Friday, July 19, 2024 per the text timestamps (can be provided for verification if needed to Yelp or anyone else). He requested pictures and was obviously not scheduling an appointment. I was not able to take the pictures immediately the same day. They were sent over approx one week later on July 27th as I had a personal emergency to prioritize. Instead of a poor quality pictures, I decided to take my time, do a detailed walk through and take two videos. I even took the time to zip it up for him and upload it to dropbox (public easy to download link, industry used for over 10+ years and intuitive). They responded by telling me that: "Your videos are not viewable. I don't believe I will be the best contractor for you. The major delay of response is not a good first sign for communication for me. Also I am not available to look at your project this week. Let alone start till mid October. I wish you the best and hope your project goes well." This is laughable, they were hard enough to get ahold of the first time, they never came out to give an estimate as agreed in first phone call and then they give me an attitude when I go out of my way to give them a detailed video instead of crappy pictures. Obviously I am proceeding with someone else, but this was a weirdly disappointing experience. This business is blacklisted and blocked in my books and they are not welcome to bid of any of my work, ever. I find it weird they have so many other 5 star reviews that contradict the experience I had so I am exercising my first amendment right to share what happened with me. P.S. I can tell team is not tech savvy with the basics when they request info from you, i.e., you cannot play a video inside a zip file, you have to unzip first.

Second job, just as good as the first. Overall did an excellent job on adding an awning roof over…read moreour cement patio. If we had another job for them we'd hire them a third time. We appreciated their prompt response with communication. They were open to discussing different ideas and questions for the project. However, this type of project seems to be something they do frequently, which is good. We needed a permit from the city. This slows things down. However, it didn't take too much time to finish the project. I appreciate how they integrated the existing roof line into the new roof. You can't tell it was even there. They did subcontract the roof and gutters. But that's not their specialty, which is okay. They stated they could have done the roof if needed. In all they did an excellent job.

I had about 9 different brick estimates ranging from the guy who said, "uh...sure...I think I can do this," to the couple who just turned tail and ran away, to companies with price tags that were essentially the cost to build a new home. I did a lot of research and saw pics online of the work put out by Brick Specialists. What I got was even better. Honestly, everyone at Brick Specialists should be wearing capes when they show up at your house. They are heroes. I cannot give enough kudos. First of all, James is the ULTIMATE professional. He is soft-spoken, kind, accommodating and really knows his stuff. The price point was great (not the cheapest, but in this case it's worth it to pay a little more). Beyond that, the work was impeccable. The guys working on the house were so talented, matching mortar, brick type and color with some really antiquated original brick, and fast. Other contractors on site were astonished at the talent of these guys. People walking down the street would stop to comment or give hugs (yes, this happened more than once). You cannot go wrong by hiring this great group of guys!

We recently worked with Bryan at 303 Construction on a bathroom remodel. It was a quirky upstairs…read morebathroom (small space/slanted ceilings) with a shower that never worked quite right. The previous space was not very functional or attractive. We also learned through the bathroom demo that the bathroom floor was not structurally sound. This meant that the bedroom ceiling below needed a complete renovation as well since we needed a new bathroom subfloor. Bryan's crew installed a walk-in shower, tile flooring, ceramic tiles along the walls, a custom glass shower door, fresh paint, along with a new toilet, sink and mirror. The bathroom is fully functional, feels more spacious and we love the design! Bryan's team was knowledgeable, hard working and did an excellent job. We were extremely happy with the end result.

We wouldn't hire Andy again and actually ended up firing him before all work was completed. Communication: D Craftsmanship: B- Work Ethic: C- Problem-Solving: C- Some of the kitchen cabinet installation is good (setting straightforward cabinet bases and uppers), some isn't so good (trim/crown miters with larger gaps, solving problems with cabinet issues/fillers). Some of the door and custom trim installation is good (simple-cut trim pieces) and some isn't so good (face-nails sloppy, door hinge installs a bit sloppy). We also did much of the prep work that Andy had signed up for but just didn't do in an acceptable, detailed manner (kitchen prep before cabinet install, floor/workspace protection from damage, cleanup). Overall though, much of the installation work was acceptable (but not outstanding). The main issues that led to firing Andy was really poor communication and problem-solving. Some installation problems seemed to overwhelm Andy and impacted progress and timely completion of planned work. Some work schedule issues seemed to stress Andy out and, without effective communication with us as his clients, derailed the project completion (failure to show up on scheduled work days, walking off the site in anger). Andy also had some difficulty staying focused on a logical and planned progression of the various project tasks. In the last interaction with Andy (after he was fired), he let us know that if we couldn't find anyone else to finish the remaining work that, without any "hard feelings", he'd return to finish, but at 1.5x his normal rate. Nope - we found a very qualified trim carpenter to finish up on Task Rabbit. Ultimately, these issues didn't work for us, especially with the flexibility we offered and the amount we were paying Andy. Perhaps more experience working with real-world clients will help Andy with future projects, but not any of ours.
