    Side of porch steps that he never did but char

    Hired to do chimney and tuck pointing. After one week all tuck pointing began crumbling. Chimney had missing mortar on 20 bricks. Neighbors called police after seeing one guy on our roof shooting up something in his arm. Vodka bottle found in gutters by chimney. When confronted with the poor workmanship owner said not his problem. After disputing charges with Discover we were able to prove the awful workmanship on the brick work and recoup our money. Stay far away from this guY!

    I am submitting my experience for review.  Soldier Brick was an awful experience.  The owner Jonathan has a temper and an attitude.  Our contract was incomplete and the job was done wrong.  He argued with us via text message stating he fulfilled his contract terms and our requests for repairs were bizarre.  A bit of background on my husband, he works for a very reputable fireplace and chimney supply company started by a man who did chimney work with his father for years before starting the supply company.  We are not ignorant as to how things should be done. 1.  There is no drip edge.  A drip edge should extend beyond the edge of stack and divert water away from the chimney to the roof and gutters.  This keeps the stack from freezing and cracking. 2. There was exposed wood and mesh. 3. The cap was crumbling after just a few weeks. 4. They did not install a storm collar, we had one and they lost it. 5.  Corner stones at the base are cracking. 6.  They didn't put Tyvex over all wood surfaces before applying the stone.  Argued with us that he couldn't do it because there was rotten wood where my homes gutter attached to the roof.  Again the rotted board was going to be replaced when we painted the house and was not attached to the chimney.  Tyvex is thin sheet and could just be slid in and affixed above and below the overhang. 7.  They didn't tarp anything, the roof or the deck.  They had concrete all over my roof and deck.  The owner said it's not his responsibility to clean the concrete off my asphalt shingles.  That it won't ruin my roof to leave it there.  He also suggested we get the acid and clean up his mess.  Side note, one of his guys was spitting chewing tobacco on our roof too. 8.  They cracked the dormer behind the chimney.  Jonathan refuses to replace the shingles and repair the damage with anything other than chalk. 9.  The walkway quote was for a 3 foot wide walk made with a mold to look like cobblestone.  We specifically asked for it to be smooth so that is not a trip hazard for my 92 year old Grandfather.  The texture changes from smooth to rocky about 1/2 way down the path.  The path is about 2 feet wide, not 3 and didn't refund us for the reduction in width.  He didn't quote for edging which was needed due to the fact that the locking sand has no edge to keep it from spilling out.  Since they reduced the path width maybe they should have used the funds for the edging.  Instead we bought it. 10.  The first step off the driveway onto the walk was installed wrong and a trip hazard by 3/4 of an inch.  Since then he had his guy out to fix the drop, however he said no more locking sand. 11.    His bank wouldn't cash our cashiers check.  He texted me being upset about it.  All I can say was not my problem...it's your bank.  What that indicates is that his account was in the negative and his bank was holding the money. 12.  Overhead through open windows that the owner was in jail for domestic violence.  He couldn't get bonded out due to bench warrants. On Sunday his crew finally came out to repair the cap.  Once he showed up and we addressed with him the issues he again completely denied any responsibility for our roof.  He got snarky and belligerent and told me to suck his dick and fuck off in front of my husband.  My children heard this.  My neighbors heard this.  After knowing his domestic violence history this makes me incredibly uncomfortable.  He was literally provoking my husband to try to start a fight, it was obvious he wanted to throw punches.  I've heard this is not the first time he's had confrontations with customers when confronted with sub par craftsmanship. Here are pictures of the contact and the work he insists was done correctly. Here is a diagram of what a drip edge should look like: Here is his repair: Either way I don't wish this experience on anyone.  We paid $18,000 for this.  And it's still wrong.

    Did a fine job on repairing my cement/brick issues. Very reasonable rates and completed the job in one day. Would consider them again.

From the moment he arrived for the service call, his professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail were evident. He took the time to thoroughly inspect the chimney, clearly explain the repair recommendations, and answer every question without ever making me feel rushed. What stood out most was Dean's commitment to doing the job right. His workmanship was exceptional, the work area was left spotless, and the entire experience was seamless from start to finish. It's refreshing to find a company that combines technical expertise with genuine customer care. I highly recommend Detroit City Sweep to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and professional chimney service company. ~ David-Anthony Powell, 20494 Santa Barbara, Detroit

Josh was friendly, professional and knowledgeable and answered all our questions and provided a reasonable quote. Not only did we need a new driveway but we also decided on replacing the sidewalk and adding a back yard patio. Juan, the owner and his entire crew were so friendly and professional and really take pride in their work. October 28,2024 was tear out day and November 1, 2024 was pouring the concrete day. Everything went as scheduled and looks really great and definitely added value and curb appeal to our home. We can't wait to get back out there and fill in the surrounding areas with dirt and grass seed and finally get to use our stored patio furnishings. If you need concrete work PLEASE give them a call and I'm sure you will not be disappointed. UPDATED 11/17/2024 two weeks after my initial review. I emailed Juan the owner of 4WAY cement twice now since pouring our driveway on 11/1/2024 regarding the concrete sealer. He said he was going to seal the new driveway on Tuesday 11/5/2024 and both my emails have gone unanswered and the driveway still not sealed as of 11/17/2024. I may be dropping a star or two if our driveway isn't sealed by month's end. Stay tuned!

They completed the project in record time, even fitting me in ahead of schedule, which was a huge relief considering spring rains were on their way. The crew was fantastic--professional, friendly, and respectful of my property. They communicated with me every step of the way, answering all my questions quickly and thoroughly, sending me photos of the work to assuage any concerns. It was clear that they take great pride in their work, and they left my yard in perfect condition, cleaning up meticulously after the job was done. One wrench in the project was that I had an invisible fence line that ran through multiple areas of excavation, and I knew there was no chance that line wasn't going to be cut. What really blew me away, was that Cristian went out and repaired the damage and the line works perfectly again; talk about above and beyond! A week later, the drainage system works perfectly, and my yard is shockingly dry considering the recent heavy rain. I highly recommend Hills Excavation for any complicated and muddy yard-related needs--they exceeded my expectations in every way and I'm glad I no longer feel like Shrek telling people to, "get out of my swamp!"

    Gas Tech Services really saved us this last winter…read more Right as the temps dropped, our furnace died and a full replacement just wasn't in the budget yet. I called around and either couldn't get anyone out quickly or the weekend/"emergency" rate was outrageous. A friend recommended Gas Tech Services, so I reached out a bit desperate. Steve Wallace got back to me fast, asked all the right questions, and suggested a natural gas wall heater as a temporary/backup heat source to get us through the season. He came out on a weekend, in the cold, and handled the gas line work and install like it was nothing. You can tell he's a pipe fitter by trade -- super clean run, everything to code, double-checked for leaks, and took the time to explain how to use it safely. What surprised me most was the price. For a last-minute, winter, weekend visit... I was expecting to get hit hard. His rate was more than fair, and honestly better than a couple places I called during normal hours. Benefits of dealing with small business, instead of these massive nationwide chains that seem to be taking over and controlling the rates is how I view it. The heater has been rock solid and kept the house comfortable enough that we weren't scrambling for space heaters or staying somewhere else. That install basically bought us time to replace the main furnace on our schedule instead of in panic mode. Professional, responsive, and actually cares that the job is done right. I'd absolutely use Gas Tech Services again and would recommend Steve to anyone who needs gas line work or a heating solution in a hurry.
