I hired PointingPlus to repoint the back wall of my 1920 Petworth rowhouse because the mortar had…read morebeen deteriorating and bricks becoming insecure, which had become apparent when the paint that the prior owners had applied on the wall prior to their sale began peeling. PointingPlus did an exceptional job, n0ot only repointing the wall, but addressing other critical issues which became apparent during the process. I had requested a quote from PointingPlus, as well as from several other companies, for the repointing work after reviewing on-line information, talking to other home owners with older homes, and asking neighbors about their contractors when I saw that someone was having repointing done on their houses. One of the factors that was critical to me was experience and the approach to repointing "soft" brick (generally that used in houses up to the mid-1920s) because it requires different mortar than what was and still is typically used for new brick, which is made differently and is harder. It was also important to me that the contractor I hired had broader construction experience because I knew there were other issues with my wall that would need to be addressed, and that they evidenced a flexibility to be able to discuss with me and address such issues. Price was also a large consideration. Daniel Palousek, the owner of PointingPlus, has a passion for historical brick work, and he and his business, a Mission of repairing and restoring the brickwork on old homes and buildings in the DC area. He learned construction when he was growing up. The PointingPlus website explains how he got into old brick work and his experience/training. When I met him prior to his submitting an estimate for the work, his love for the work and end result was apparent, as was his flexibility and interest in addressing more than brick and mortar issues. (I needed some work on the roof flashing covering the top layers of brick as well as on a window sill on the top story that was rotting, among some other issues he identified during his work and addressed after discussing approach with me.) The price of his estimate was not the lowest, but was also not close to being the highest against a $30,000 difference between the lowest and highest estimates I received. He more than met criteria that were important to me and prior to finalizing my decision I asked to look at some buildings that PointingPlus had done work on; the work on them was excellent. I am very pleased with what PointingPlus did (and with Daniel. who did the work). And the process of the work went well, the communication between him and me excellent (and I learned a heck of a lot more than I knew about brick and mortar, which I also find very interesting, among other things). I strongly recommend PointingPlus to others, and expect that I will be in touch with Daniel again as I become aware of and seek to address issues on my 100+ year old home.

Pointing Plus is excellent at what they do. They are reasonably priced, responsible during every…read morestep of a project, and exceptional at communication. Their approach is comprehensive and once engaged they are clear about the process, timing and expected results. Pointing Plus easily navigated the many challenges and permitting that comes with working on a historic building (circa 1895) in an historic neighborhood. They approached the 125+ year old façade with care and an extensive knowledge about mortar, color, scaffolding, and structure. And, given that the building had never been repointed, as part of the process large sections of the facade had to be rebuilt including large brownstone headers and sculptural elements. The goal was to maintain the historic presence and shore up the structure and Pointing Plus succeeded on every level. When done properly, pointing should be a once in a lifetime project. Working with Pointing Plus has given me the confidence knowing the façade of this building will be here for generations to come.

I had noticed that Off Limits was working at a condo complex down the street from us and their work looked great, so I gave them a call. I'm glad I did - their price was very reasonable. Right before they came out to provide a quote, someone tore down our old trash fence around our dumpsters. I asked them if they would be interested in rebuilding the fence as well and they were - and offered a lengthy warranty on both pieces of work. Their price was half of some of the contractors our management company got for the fence. It took a few weeks to get on their schedule, but once they started work they were fast and efficient and kept me updated with more frequent status reports than I've ever gotten for any contractor. The quality of work was superb and both the concrete work and the fence looks phenomenal. They even brought in a welder to re-weld parts of metal railing and added solar lights to the top of the trash area posts at no extra charge. When they were complete they restored everything to excellent condition and did a walkthrough with me. Overall 10/10 for value and quality of work, I would absolutely hire them again and recommend them if you need concrete, masonry, a fence built, or similar work. We'll certainly hire them again in the future if we do.
