I reached out to Matt Burns in the early summer of 2020 for an estimate to replace the clearly…read morefailing railroad tie retaining wall in my back yard. Matt's was one of several estimates I sought, and pricing was all over the place. Matt's bid was competitive and fair, and he demonstrated a depth of knowledge and familiarity that made me immediately comfortable hiring him. Due to scheduling conflicts with another contractor installing a deck for me, I threw Matt a few curveballs. At least twice I had to ask him to move his start date, and when his team did arrive, the deck contractors were totally in his way. Throughout, Matt was patient and focused on his work. The guys he brought with him worked tirelessly over four days to excavate, remove old materials, prepare proper drainage missing from the old wall, rebuild the wall with new EP Henry pavers and regrade the area around the new wall - as well as around my driveway. Matt and his crew went above and beyond, doing extra regrading work not included in his estimate at no additional charge. And they cleaned up the work area at the end of the job beautifully. The wall looks so good that the old, shabby brick pavers by my pool now look sad by comparison. I'll be asking Matt Burns to come back to address that issue, and others, in the future. Hire Matt with confidence. You'll be glad you did. And if you have questions or want more details just message me. I'm happy to offer my strong recommendation of Matt and his team.

An hour past the appointment time, I contacted Campos and was told that the estimator would arrive "soon". The guy did finally show up and was pleasant. We got a quote of nearly 12,000 dollars and we have already spent 3,000 on the window itself. The quote was odd- just a bulk number- no break down of costs so really- we had no idea what we would have been paying for. Plus we were directed to choose stone from 2 sites- neither of which had pricing. Things that make you go "Hmmmmm. .." I requested a breakdown and was told I would get it- but I still have not. At this point I'm not interested. Added to our quote was a little "extra" regarding plywood- if plywood was needed- they would charge us 250.00 per sheet when we know the retail is only around 55$. I understand that the company needs to make money but that is quite a mark up at several hundred percent. As my husband put it- he was skeptical of the entire quote based on that alone. I'm sorry that we cannot do business. I don't doubt the work based on other reviews but I can't seem to get past even the first hurdle.

We've been battling water leakage in our living room for years. We've had several contractors…read more(roofing, window, etc) try to find the source of the problem to no avail. Ultimately they suggested it could be a problem with the stones in the wall. Disciple came out, recommended a strategy of replacing a couple of stones, re-pointing the rest of the area and applying sealant over the whole section. Work was scheduled promptly. 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.

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.

I'm going to start this off with positive vibes. Mike Gallagher was very nice and prompt with…read morereturning calls. He came right out to give us a quote, which was a very reasonable quote. But the whole process which has been going on for over a month now has been terrible. Our wall was falling and the steps were separating from the wall. So we decided to finally get them redone. We had steps and a stone wall. We met with Mike and he gave us options of material for the wall. We picked bricks and of course they weren't in stock so we asked to wait for them to be in stock rather than picking new ones. Mike was fine with that. Him and his crew started with the demo. They learned that our original wall didn't have a footer so he had to add a footer to the price. Okay. Not a problem. Paid a deposit via his website which was easy. He started to do the steps. Looking at them they were uneven and crooked. Mike claimed they weren't done and then decided he wanted to bull nose the steps. Instead of demoing the steps completely, he chipped up the first layer and added new concrete to add the bull nose and level them out. They look absolutely horrible. They are two different colors. Not smooth and still uneven. Might i also add that they claimed steps are their specialty. The wall looked nice when they were done with it. But the more you look at it you began to notice small things that made you say, hmmm... The new wall was smaller than our original wall. And one side was shorter than our original wall. Okay. Whatever. There also was only one or two mesh areas for water to drain. Paid him in full PLUS a nice tip. Thought, okay. Whatever. We'll fix the steps next yr. But after our first rain storm issues began to arrise. We noticed that one of the caps on the wall was cracked. Which then soon broke. We also noticed that the caps are NOT secured. We could lift just about every one. Now we're very annoyed. Mike comes back to fix everything. But he managed to make it look worse. The cracked one was never fixed (as of 10/4.) The mortar that he used was just plopped ontop of the bricks and not cleaned up or smoothed out. There are holes between my caps and bricks. We legit can see through it. They are lifted and just look terrible! There is mortar pouring over the sides. The caps aren't straight anymore either. They are shifted when they used to be at least pretty straight. Not to mention the mess they left. Dirt everywhere. Cement all over my driveway that we are now having to chip up and power wash everything. I was so excited to improve the outside of my house and now it looks worse than before. I do not recommend Gallagher Masonry unless you don't care about things being straight, done well and cleaned up.

It took me some time to post this review due to Yelp's character limit, as it was important to be…read moreas clear and detailed as possible. I originally intended to include the full text message documentation, but due to space limitations I have summarized those exchanges here. While the porch may look acceptable to a casual observer, there are significant workmanship and professionalism issues that future customers should be aware of. I hired Luke's Landscaping and Hardscaping in August 2023 to replace my original front porch. I contacted Jim (the owner) based on positive Yelp reviews. He responded promptly, came out to inspect the job, discussed his experience, and later provided a contract. Before hiring, I asked a question based on feedback from another contractor. Jim became defensive and upset, accusing me of questioning his expertise, which I found concerning. Jim's price was lower than other bids, which ultimately influenced my decision. In hindsight, this was a mistake. Jim and his worker Mikey worked long hours and communicated throughout the project. However, several issues arose: 1. My original porch had a decorative rectangle shaped directly into the concrete, which I requested be replicated. This was overlooked during the pour, and by the time it was noticed, the finisher stated that the concrete was already setting and could not be shaped at that stage. Jim later cut the rectangle into the fully cured concrete. While the cut itself is neat, it is deeper than a shape created during finishing and now collects debris, requiring ongoing cleaning. 2. The porch height was altered unevenly. The left side was raised approximately 1.5 inches while the right side remained at the original height, resulting in a noticeable slope. This caused the top step to be slanted and deeper than before. I was not informed this would occur. 3. My original porch had a bullnose edge across the steps and front. Only the top step was initially bullnosed. When I questioned this, Jim said the original porch did not have one. I later provided photos proving it did. After that, he added the bullnose across the porch. 4. Two days after the pour, I noticed a crack. When I texted Jim, he initially insisted it could only have been caused by sabotage. Later, when he saw it in person, he attributed it to expansion. A second crack was also found. Jim patched both cracks using a different cement than what had been poured by the company he hired for the new porch and assured me multiple times that the color would match. Once dried, the patched areas did not match and have since re-cracked. 5. After I paid in full, Jim contacted me stating he had underbid the demolition and asked me to contribute additional money toward dump fees. I offered $250 beyond the contract. He then continued to push for more money and stated that he would repaint the damaged railings and redo the cracks if I paid additional demolition costs. These items were not upgrades or additional work--they were corrections to issues created during the original job and should have been addressed as part of the contracted work. I ultimately sent the additional $250 as offered. 6. Concrete splatter from the pour covered all porch railings. Jim's team attempted to clean the concrete off, but in doing so pulled off the newly applied paint, leaving the railings discolored and ashy and requiring full repainting. Jim later claimed he had told me not to paint the railings beforehand; this was never said at any point prior to the work. 7. When I later contacted Jim about an unresolved crack and two brooms mistakenly taken from my property, the communication escalated. Jim became hostile, accused me of disrespect, and ended the working relationship. Though he stated the brooms would be returned, they were not. 8. During demolition, the lower front-facing concrete was chipped. Only the top portion was resurfaced, leaving a visibly two-tone appearance. When I raised this concern, Jim stated that the lower portion was simply dirty older concrete and that over time the new white concrete would look the same. This explanation was given after the work was completed and without prior discussion or approval. What he said was FALSE; it is 2 different colors of concrete. Afterward, three independent contractors asked whether rebar had been installed. It was not. I was told this likely contributed to the cracking. What began as a promising project resulted in multiple defects, cracks (now three total), additional costs, and unprofessional conduct. I paid approximately $5,000 and will need to hire another contractor to correct the work. If you consider this company, ensure your contract includes post-job cleanup, reinforcement details, and a written warranty, and do not make final payment until everything is complete and satisfactory.
