After we had hired Dane he was involved in a major car accident seriously affecting one of his…read morearms. He was unable to work for several weeks. It was apparent he was in serious pain and I'm sure this affected his mood. We tried to take this into account in our negotiations and working relationship for this project. While we wish him a speedy and complete recovery, we are sorry to have hired him. That being said, don't hire Dane White and Perfect Curb - it will be more trouble than it's worth. Dane isn't cheap, he isn't respectful and he doesn't take adequate pride in or responsibility for his work. Your excitement and anticipation will be eclipsed by stress, difficult negotiations and disrespect - with no more than average results. He didn't seem at all concerned about, or motivated by, the possibility of a negative review. So here's mine. We hired Perfect Curb to widen our brick path and re-do our asphalt driveway with crushed stone. We wanted the same contractor to do both, so the brick and crushed stone surfaces would meet and integrate smoothly. I was extremely excited about this project and really looked forward to the end result. Communication with Dane, though good at first - was difficult from the time we signed the contract. Though we had met with him a year earlier and assured him we would be working with him and sent our deposit and contract in soon after we received it, he claimed we took too long and immediately scheduled other jobs before ours, delaying the start of our job by several weeks. Our job was finally started over six weeks after its initial start date. When asked what specific stone he planned to use, he replied slowly - and vaguely - sending us on several long trips to stone yards, one of which was to look at the very type of stone we'd specifically asked him not to use. Getting answers to these basic questions was like pulling teeth and did not inspire confidence. When Dane finally began the job, he was clearly in a rush and refused to pause his heavy equipment for any discussion, creating a mind-numbingly noisy atmosphere of confusion and pressure. He miscalculated the design of the driveway and couldn't figure out how to solve the issue of brick meeting the crushed stone - the main reason he was hired. When my husband made a suggestion, he snapped at him - but ultimately used his suggested solution. Far from being gracious, he had a truculent attitude - insisting my husband agree to pay extra if we didn't like the outcome. Unbelievably, Dane blamed his driveway miscalculation on me - he argued with me, insulted me and then never apologized. He took no responsibility at all for what was clearly an unacceptable and poorly planned installation. He added the wrong type of stone to the area of the driveway he corrected. When asked to address this, he put a thin layer of the existing driveway trap rock over the top of it to hide the mistake. It revealed itself on closer inspection after Dane had already received payment in full for the job. We had to stop payment on our check in order to get him to come back and correct this mistake, along with another incomplete installation of the brick under the porch steps. While we now have what we believe is a decent installation, it will take a long time to feel good about it as the process was filled with poor communication, bad attitude, rushed work, lack of pride in the work and a lot of nickel and dime-ing.

After some gusty days, I found our chimney's rain cap in my backyard, which was the push I needed…read moreto look into finding a contractor for long overdue work on our chimney and front steps. See the before pictures for the chimney, I don't have one handy for the steps, but the mortar was missing from between a lot of the bricks, and the limestone slabs were wobbly and not adhered to the step anymore. Chris responded to the request quickly and came out for an assessment, providing estimates both for a repair and a full rebuild of the front steps, and a repair of the chimney. Both very reasonable and in line with estimates from other businesses. We spoke last Friday, Chris had the formal contracts to me by Sunday, and the team was here first thing Tuesday morning working on the steps. They worked quickly but thoroughly, and were on to the work on the chimney by mid-day Wednesday. Once they were up there, they noticed some issues that weren't visible from the ground view, and Chris walked me through it with the photos and quickly got a revised estimate for what it would look like to do a rebuild of the chimney versus the repair, while also indicating that they COULD still do just the repair, but recommended rebuilding, since he knew we'd be looking to also redo the roof soon. They managed to do the full take down of the chimney to just a few bricks below the roof line and rebuild it back up by the end of the day Thursday, and came back Friday just to install the rain cap and clean up the the materials from the demolished chimney and stairs. Our new steps and chimney look great, and I'll definitely be keeping Kings' contact on file for paving/masonry/foundation work we might need in the future!

My highest recommendation. My wife and I are restoring our…read more1920's mansion to its original glory. I have lived in and restored old homes for most of my years that I could swing a hammer. I am very particular about the quality that goes into our homes and very respectful of the design and craftsmanship that the original builders created 100 years ago. It is tough to pick a tradesman today. My rules are simple: Listen to me. Tell me what you are going to do. Do what you told me you were going to do. Work with me immediately on the inevitable surprises or if you are not sure. If you do that, we will get on fine no matter what surprises show up. These guys nailed it. Or mortered it. Or pointed it or whatever. The covered patio off our library and living room is really an extension of those rooms and and ties the interior of the home to the exterior. Its elegant stones were laid in an elevated concrete platform that had been giving up the spalling and shattered slate stones for decades. And our dramatic stone entry steps were a muddled confusion of random height wobbly steps, broken stones and four different kinds of mortar. My requirements were: Maintain the original look and design intent. Rebuild this from a solid base up. I don't want to touch this for another hundred years.. Use the original stone if possible (not to save money). Don't make it look new! Make it look like well maintained 100 year old stonework. They really hit it out of the park. The base prep (the difference between a 2 year job and a hundred year job) was immaculate. The stones, the layout, the surgical joints... The job site at the end of each day was organized, sterile clean, and strangely nice to look at. A million little details that you don't think about. Leveling the steps. Making them even. Drainage in a zillion different places. Base materials that stabilize and drain for the next 100 years. They had to ad a step and that meant they had to find a matcher somewhere. And they did it all. Wow. They completely captured the character of the house better than I had imagined. I will post pix in a few days. Your mason better be spending a lot of their time on the base. And have an encyclopedic knowledge stone dust, process gravel, morter, sand, etc. Boring but look around at all the heaved walkways out there. Anyway, these guys are pros. And the work their buts off. I have three more jobs for them on our house. And the job was super fast.. BTW , I did not get a break for this review. I am just SOOO freaking happy to finally find a master craftsman!!!!!
