Pete is a master mason with LOTS of experience. He rebuilt the capstones on decorative columns in…read morefront of our house and did tuck pointing on all of the brick and stone façade on the lower portion of the house as required. Pete is absolutely reliable--if he says he'll be there, he'll be there. He goes out of his way to take care of the details (e.g., coloring the mortar so that it'll dry to match the original now darkened material). If you need masonry repair, track down Pete--you'll be glad you did!

This company is a great choice for all masonry and brick repair work as well as brick and stone…read moreconstruction projects. We came into contact with them when we needed someone to do extensive tuckpointing and repair work on two old stone walls leading into a basement garage on our 70-year-old house, but we were having trouble finding a company that was interested in just repair and tuckpointing. We eventually called a high-end concrete and masonry contractor that specializes in large and elaborate masonry projects and asked them for a recommendation and they provided Masonry Craftsman's contact info. I called Pete, Masonry Craftsman's owner, and he offered to stop by and take a look as soon as we could be available. When Pete first came to the door, I mentioned in passing that we had at one time wanted to replace the front brick entrance stairs that he was standing on but had found it would be prohibitively expensive. The stairs had been a bad DIY project by a previous owner that resulted in two super-steep steps that were a chore for most people to climb. I told him that we had spoken with several contractors in the past and they all said we needed to tear them completely out and replace them with poured concrete for a huge amount of money which we couldn't justify spending on the house. Pete took a look and quickly proposed a plan to insert two additional brick steps into the stairway, and also mentioned that he could tint the mortar and use some extra brick we had of the same type so it would all look original to the house. He quoted us a price that we felt was reasonable for the work involved in order to repair both the walls and to redesign the front steps . Long story short, Pete and his assistant Dave were able to start immediately and finished the job a day faster than promised, and it all looks terrific. The stairs were particularly great considering that we thought we would never be able to afford to do anything to fix them. The idea Pete came up with is not only very functional and allows people to enter and exit the house without climbing gear, but it really matches the character of the house. Our walls also look very nice as well and Pete and Dave cleaned everything up thoroughly before they left. We usually cringe at the thought of having anyone work on our house because it often results in disappointment, but this is one of the few times that we have had our expectations exceeded, and both Pete and Dave were very pleasant to work with (they even fixed a small cracked area in our neighbor's sidewalk for free with some leftover mortar). We will definitely call them again for any masonry-related jobs.

They did an excellent job of working with the weather and taking down, painting and re-installing the shutters, fixing rotted woodwork and installing new screening and bead board around our back porch. We have a 5 color trim and siding home, 4 colors in the overhang alone withdetailed woodwork on an older Brookside residence. They were able to match our existing color scheme with no problem, leaving us with properly dated leftover paint in case touch ups are needed. All of their workers were professional and courteous to our neighbors and our family. Aaron's especially excels in their detailed bids, invoices and communication. We were always kept up to date on whether they could work on our home as Mother Nature began to dictate days and hours available to complete the job. A special shout out to Della who handles all of your questions at their main office. Seldom have we had a steady voice to keep us informed and offer her advice which is greatly appreciated. They kept their word on the original bid which we felt was competitive based on other bids we received. After years of trying and failing to work with handymen and small contractors on smaller jobs around our home we feel we have found a trusted company that we can work with on future projects large and small as they arise. Highly recommend!

HORRIBLE! Aaron told me his company has over 20 yrs…read more experience restoring and building decks. I soon found out he's the only employee and lacks knowledge and skills working on decks. I have weeds growing out of my deck boards that sits 5-6 feet off the ground! My deck frame/support boards measure 3", he put a board 2 1/4" on top leaving a large gap for dirt, debris and water to collect and sit on top of my deck frame/support boards underneath resulting in weeds. This will also cause rotting on my deck frame/support boards. Railing boards were cut short and uneven too. He was cussing throughout the whole project replacing deck floor joists, floor boards and rails. He couldn't lift the joists and had to wait for a friend of his to come help him lift them, it took him 4 days to remove the wood screws in my existing floor boards grinding away at screws using the wrong bits or stripped bits. He said it was due to his battery on his drill being low but this happened everyday. I asked him a few time to make sure he picked up all the wood screws so I wouldn't get a flat on my riding lawn mower. I ended up finding almost 20 screws he left around my deck and yard and had to buy a magnet sweeper to make sure I picked them all up. It took him over 2 weeks to complete, a job that should've only taken 3-4 days. I know because I've had this done twice before. He spent a lot of time on the phone answering calls and returning phone calls to people while he attempted to work on my deck. When I told Aaron about weeds growing out of my deck, his response was it will cost me to come fix it and he sent me an invoice. He expects me to pay for his mistakes??? He proceeded to tell me he was a one man show and he has no retirement (his words). Like this is supposed to make me feel sorry for him and an excuse for shoddy work?

When his team came out, they left a huge mess after the job was done, and every time the temperature changed for the next five years, pieces of siding would fall off the house. Charlie said it was no longer his responsibility. When I threatened a bad review, he came back out with the original team. The installer took me aside and said he had no experience installing siding, but Charlie had told him he would figure it out. After 8 1/2 years of warping and loose panels, I called another siding contractor. They pointed out gaps in the corners, and said the siding was cut too short to cover normal expansion and contraction. I am now replacing my siding one wall at a time, less than a decade after having new siding installed. Charlie does not seem to care about doing a quality job. So far, we're out $2,400 and are looking at a good $12,000 more. We should have sued.
