Denver Masonry Contractors

"We hired to do some chimney repair, bracing, and tuckpointing and also decided to use him for tuckpointing our house. He was a little difficult to reach - it would take a couple days to hear back by phone and the written quotes were hard to get from him. He also started the work a week later than he said he would, which would ...more not have been a problem, except that I had to call him to find out why he wasn't there. He and his son-in-law performed all the work and were professional while they were there. We felt the chimney work went fairly well at the time (see below though). However, a few weeks later we noticed water coming down the wall of one of our bedrooms after a rainstorm - turns out there is a 6 inch hole in the roof letting water in, and this hole is very close to the chimney that they were working on. I cannot say for sure that they caused this hole, but I think it is more likely than not.

never mentioned any falling bricks or other problems. The tuckpointing work was okay. It is definitely obvious where he tuckpointed, as the mortar is a different shade and composition. Later, I also found out that with our historic 100+ yr old home, the mortar is composed of a totally different material (lime) than is used today (Portland cement). This is a potential issue because the bricks were softer then and required softer mortar. However, they used a Portland cement based mortar which may crack the bricks over time. Needless to say, I am not happy about that either. Because of these two issues, I would not recommend using this company."

"My 110 year old house has brick foundation walls which have deteriorated over the years on the inside. I hired to stucco some of the walls to stabilize the brick. They were very accommodating to my needs and schedule. e.g. I needed to coordinate with the plumber who came out to move the hot water heater and then return it when ...more they had completed the wall behind it.

, the estimator, came out again to estimate after I added some additional work to the order. The three young men who did the work were competent, on time and cleaned up before they left. I am completely satisfied with the work."

"Great. This is the second time we have used - and when we point the whole house, we will use him again. He is punctual, does good work, and does it at a good price. He is always so polite and appreciative and you can tell he works hard. He always gets the job done in the amount of time he says its ...more going to take which tells me he has a lot of experience! High recommendations!"

"We had been looking for a replacement of the old ceramic tile for quite a while. At the Denver Garden and Home show, we found and fell in love with their unique travertine. In , we went to their showroom to look around and get an estimate on our work. was very helpful and even ...more gave us samples of the travertine tile to take home to make our decision. Later that week,

and

came over to look at the job and give us an estimate. Based on what we wanted done and the tile, they estimated $975. At the time, they did not tell us that the tile was in high demand and it might take months to order it. So, when we had the funds together, we decided to go ahead and get the tile and have it installed (at the end of August). We were told then that they had to ship it from Turkey and it would take about 30 - 45 days for them to receive the tile and they would be in touch when the tile came in. Around October 20th when we had not heard from them, we called to inquire about our tile.

and

stated the tile would be in in about a week and they would call us. After many phone calls (initiated always by us), the tile was finally in just before Thanksgiving. Now I realize things come up, but I always gave them an extra day or two after they told us they'd call by before calling them - always it was the same greeting - "I was just about to call you!" - it got to be very frustrating! We went to the showroom to pay for our tile and schedule the installation, however our paperwork was nowhere to be found. We were told not to worry about it, that they trusted what we told them our original estimate was, and they would get their installer out in the next week or so. Finally, around the 2nd week of December, our tile was completed!

did a great job and we love our new fireplace - it looks so unique and sophisticated....we have definitely increased the value of our home! The grouting doesn't seem very even - some areas where it was heavy and others where there is none...but overall, it really looks great!"

"This company was easy to get in touch with to make the appointment. The job was performed in a timely manner. The finished project turned out how I had expected it to."

"Called and they came out the next day with an estimate. Company called the following day, and I was asked to sign a contract before scheduling and work starting. They drove out with the contract, which I signed and was scheduled for five days following. arrived on time, worked through the day, and came back the following day and finished up."

"I called and very promptly got a bid in early . The bid included extensive work on two chimneys on the house, totaling $3720. I could not afford that and asked if they could do only two sides of the house that really needed work to keep the house watertight and sound. They reduced the bid to include only the areas I wanted done ...more right now. (I intend to have this company do the rest of the work next year). The revised bid was the exact price I paid. I got one other bid from another company, $500, which was so low it indicated to me that the work would not be done properly. So I chose

Masonry. At the start, they told me the work would be done probably September, and that's when it was done.

kept me informed of the date.

was a true professional, did the work over 3 to 4 days, and went out of his way to fix things, such as replacing a missing brick I had not noticed. Totally cleaned up after each visit and upon completion. This is a family team,

and

, and I thought they were terrific, absolutely professional, friendly, and did quality work. I pointed out to

, I had some

pointing done 3 or 4 years ago, that was now chipping out, and

said he would re-do his work for free if it didn't last at least 10 years. (This wasn't a written warranty, but I thought it indicated pride of workmanship and confidence in the quality of his work)."

"Initially contacted from a mass mailing - Mr is incredibly responsive and was on site within hours of the first telephone contact. The bid was quite competitive - in fact (well) below what I expected. Unbelievably punctual, neat, organized, clean and unobtrusive. Job completed on time and under budget - with quality on a par ...more with anyone I have used before, and generally much better quality than I have seen in my neighbors' landscape contractors. Eager to please. Has a very slight
