They paid special attention to prep work on my front porch, which is the most visible part of the house. Like any contractor, Surratt got pulled by various customers for attention elsewhere, while my job was underway. So you need to be organized about what you want done, and how, and when ... but, if you do that homework, Surratt will do a good job of working with your needs, schedule, etc.

Five stars all the way! First, let me say that I am an…read moreelectrician on Yelp; you can search me by name and you'll see that I am one of the highest rated electricians in the city. I'm not saying this to brag; *I'm saying this so that you understand that I know what it takes to be a high-quality contractor*. Casimir fits the bill. I needed my entire side wall pointed for my 3-storey Victorian Twin. I didn't know any Masons, but I asked my own customers and obviously had the opportunity to see work that my customers had had done on their houses, but I wasn't happy with what I saw. So I went to Yelp: and that's where I found Casimir. When I asked on a South Philly Facebook group, Casimir also came highly recommended. Becky is the person in the office. She was friendly and easy to work with. She communicated well and answered all my nit-picky questions. I originally called in late fall and wanted to wait till warmer weather. We agreed on a date for April -and to my amazement, they kept that date for me. Originally Shawn came out and gave me the estimate. Then in the spring, he came out and supervised the work. And he *worked* with the crew; he didn't just disappear like so many "supervisors" do. I was impressed by his professional demands for the work quality. He matched brick colors, used traditional pointing materials and replaced a lintel above a window. I also had them replace a section of walkway in my alley. Shawn was great to work with as was the rest of the crew. In May, I wanted to get some more work done; there was a minor issue with some slope for run-off and not surprisingly, Casimir handled the problem with absolute professionalism. No excuses made and generously dealt with the problem taking responsibility for the (minor) problem. Let me just say, few jobs turn out perfectly the first time. And to be honest, most contractors can get away with small mistakes and nobody notices -but I'm a nit-picky contractor. What matters is how a contractor deals with little problems and Casimir is honest, upfront, and -can I use this word again?- totally professional. It's clear that they take pride in their work as well as their reputation. I have absolutely no hesitation recommending them.

I posted this on Google as well (and went much more in detail), but would like to share my personal…read moreexperience of a renovation from Mendr. Starting on day 1, a subcontracted demo crew arrived along with Marcus from your team. They accidentally nicked a knob and tube wire along with 2 pipes. We did not know at the time, and noone from your team told us even though I have video proof they knew earlier that morning. We later found out when OUR plumber came to check on the pipes and noticed the mistakes and pointed it out to all workers present at that time. Knowing these pipes were nicked, they closed the floor anyway with the active leak inside. Following installation of the toilet and shower head, when I went to use the toilet, water came spewing through my ceiling downstairs- The team refused to acknowledge responsibility, initially stating it was the radiator regardless of my insisting. Upon locating the leak was actually in a drain pipe, they then said it was the subcontractors fault for nicking the pipe, completely ignoring the fact that if it wasn't enclosed under flooring, this would not have been an issue. Along with this issue, I had multiple concerns with professionalism and communication throughout. I was never told who would be coming on what day, and I encountered about 6 different workers in the time Mendr worked on my house. I was told Marcus would be my project lead, and he was only present the first 2 days. When we would relay a message to one worker, they would not relay it to the others, which lead to huge gaps in communication. We would ask for things to be done a certain way, and the team would ignore and do it the way "they always do it", even when resulting in poor installation of the sister beams, flooring, and cutting into my stack pipe for the exhaust fan. Your team did not put any tarps down unless we asked them to and even then, did not fix them when they would rip. There were multiple discussions regarding safety issues I caught on camera as well that your team still tries to pawn onto the subcontractors I didn't even know were coming. The absolute worst part about this team regardless of all the issues I encountered in my home is that your team still refuses to be held accountable, and does not seem sympathetic in the least for any of the damage caused in my home. I have photo and video proof as well as multiple other professionals who stated the work your team provided may as well be illegal with the lack of safety concern and poorly following ANY coding guidelines. Even with all of this, Kyle, you still try to deny claims and report the subcontractors did it- completely ignoring ANY of your teams responsibility in this matter. Do better, Do not rip people off if you can not handle the project. We deserve our down payment back, none of the work you performed was actually usable! You are only as professional as ALL of your employees and it has been made clear you do not send the same employees for all of your jobs.

Ultimately they suggested it could be a problem with the stones in the wall.

The guys were very friendly and professional. The job was finished within 10 days (mortar needed to cure before sealant could be applied) and it looks great. Now we have to wait for a horrific rainstorm to see if that solves the problem.

The employee who…read morecame to see my home (I believe his name was Charles) provided a few details about what they would do but said he'd get back to me with an estimate "later today or tomorrow". After a week, I called to follow up and was told I'd hear back "later that day or the next." After another week of no contact, I called back again and spoke to a man named Nathan who told me that he would follow up with me (you guessed it) "later that day or the next". Still no call or text. Very frustrating as it's raining a lot lately and we want our external stucco wall repaired before any water damage occurs. I guess maybe they don't need my business? Can't say anything about their work but this customer service experience makes me question their reliability and attention to detail. Your experience may vary, but this was mine, for what it's worth.
