Michael, "Smiley", and his guys did a fantastic job on my house, the end result looks amazing and…read morethe process was smooth, friendly, and easy. The lintel above my garage, which is the long piece of metal that spans the width of the garage and holds up the brick above the garage door, was sagging, which means the bricks were also sagging, no longer straight or level, and the grout was cracking severely on both sides. Clearly the original builder used a lintel that was too short, it only overlapped the sides by a few inches and it should overlap by about a foot. I was concerned the bricked above the garage could collapse and come crashing down. See all the pictures.
Michael came out to asses, gave me a price right then and there m, and we made the deal on a handshake. He came to the house when he said he would each time, communicated regularly via text and in person, brought out his extremely capable mason team when needed and got the job done in reasonable time with incredible results. They removed and reset each individual brick, every row of bricks above my garage all the way up to the roof, and they *cleaned and reused* every brick so they would match the rest of the house perfectly. The end result is truly astonishing, it actually looks better, straighter and more uniform, than I could have imagined, it literally looks better than new. See photos. The grout cracks are all fixed just as he promised and they look amazing.
His price was extremely fair and very competitive with other bids. I 100% recommend Michael Smiley for your masonry work and I will absolutely call him first, without a doubt, for my masonry needs in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
