Beware of Don Beebe / Heritage Masonry Inc. - Substandard Work and Safety Hazards
I recently hired Don Beebe / Heritage Masonry Inc. to construct a patio at my property, and it turned out to be a disastrous experience. I am compelled to share my story to warn others about the subpar work and safety hazards that resulted from their services.
Upon completion of the patio, I noticed several issues that raised concerns about the quality and safety of the work. To investigate further, I hired a reputable mason, MGS Construction, to inspect the structure. Their inspection revealed numerous safety hazards, violations, and additional damages to my property. The work done by Heritage Masonry Inc. failed to meet the guidelines set forth by the Landscape Contractors Association, Concrete Masonry Association, and other relevant industry, local, and state standards.
Some of the most alarming issues discovered by MGS Construction include:
- Loose mortar joints and free-floating flagstones throughout the patio, creating trip hazards.
- Improperly installed steps with overhangs varying from 1 to 4 inches, also posing trip hazards.
- Loose wall caps on the retaining walls, which may fall and cause injury.
- Inadequate materials used, such as 4-inch cinderblocks instead of 6-inch cinderblocks, compromising the structural integrity of the walls.
- A fireplace not built to proper specifications, posing a risk of backdraft into the patio area.
- Cement splatter on vinyl siding, which may become dislodged and cause injury or damage.
- A broken fence post, compromising the structural integrity of the fence and posing a safety hazard.
Dealing with Don Beebe / Heritage Masonry Inc. has been a nightmare. Not only did he perform substandard work, but he also left my property with safety hazards and damages that will require significant time and resources to repair.
Please, do yourself a favor and stay away from Don Beebe / Heritage Masonry Inc. His negligence and lack of professionalism have left me with a dangerous and unsightly patio that needs extensive remediation. Save yourself the headache and find a reputable contractor who takes pride in their work and cares about the safety and satisfaction of their clients. read more
