I interviewed a few masonry companies for repairing spalling brick in my basement. Some wanted to…read moreparge the walls, which was not what I wanted. Some quoted me fairly high prices for the repair, but Martin Forde offered me the best, and most reasonable cost for the job. During our interview Martin struck me as a competent, and fair mason and he is responsive by email, which are valuable traits in a contractor. We scheduled the job, and he and his team showed up right on time. The first thing I learned is that Forde masonry may not have a full time staff. Martin definitely came out to my job periodically to deliver materials, but the masons who did the work were actually two latinos who seemed to be day laborers. They were competent, and very polite as I asked questions in my broken Spanish, but that makes accountability a little more difficult. That became a problem when I was in the basement with another contractor, and I saw one of the mason repairing a hole that was two withes thick. He was just repairing the outward face that I could see, but leaving a whole in the second layer. I asked him about it, so he dropped some mortar into the hole, a few bricks, and kept on with his repair. Yes, it visually looks fine and I would not have noticed if I were not watching as the hole was getting closed up, but that is not what I expect when I hire a professional mason to repair my walls. My job is done though, and I hopefully will not need masonry help for a while. Most of the issues I had are easily fixed with a little more attention to detail, and oversight, so I would encourage others to give Martin a chance if you need masonry help.

This unprofessional behavior left me stranded and delayed my project by several weeks while I searched for someone else.

They are competitive in pricing and take the time to do the work right. I was told they'd be there on that day at 7am and it wasn't even 7:01 when I saw them in driveway ready to go!! They were professional, they interacted with my 2 year old daughter who was just in awe of the process. I can't say enough about this company. I'm a smaller, residential property, but they are for the every day family. They worked endlessly to get it just right in a very tight area on the side of the garage- you could tell they were making it perfect as if it was their own home. Very appreciative in the job they did, their honesty, efficiency and no "BS" like other companies I've talked to.
