Would not recommend this mason. Deadlines were missed regularly and after 1 month overdue we had to dismiss the contractor. The deficiencies in the workmanship are numerous and include: - no taping of railing, ceiling, walls - he claimed the mortar would crumble off with a wet cloth. Wrong. - cut electrical left live and dangling in our utility room - exposed nail @ ground level (hazard for a 2yr old) - cultured stone not installed - pieces sliding out by hand - mortar left to dry/cure on cultured stone (another big no-no due to this stone being dyed concrete - scraping it removes dye) - mortar left to dry/cure on grates and fireplace unit face - damage done to our hardwood floors where it appears a running saw blade was placed on floor - wood nooks not uniform as per direction provided - nooks not cut straight and seams not sealed - - stone mantle not installed full length as requested and mantle mortar left with gaps in it - on request of the mason 2 additional boxes of flats were ordered. In all 60% excess stone was ordered and picked through making it un-returnable.
- Approximate cost of services:
- $2,800.00
