Recent rains that found their way into our basement through leaking windows motivated me to deal…read morewith the problem. I considered replacing them with glass block. And, doing the job myself. Although, I am quite handy I knew a professional was needed to tackle a project of this magnitude. So the next step was finding a reputable masonry contractor. Searching for any home improvement company can be quite daunting. I asked around at work with no success. So, Google was the next step. Many show up in the search but all of them have no reviews, Yelp or any others. Literally, I closed my eyes and picked one. This was quite a gamble but I needed this job done. So I called Al Menting Mason Contractor. He came out a few days later to give me a quote. The cost seemed reasonable so I scheduled the job. He was really busy so it would be a couple weeks out before he could do it. The fact that he was busy indicated that he was probably reputable. A week later his skilled masons came out and did the windows. Four, maybe five hours later they were done. The finished product looked professionally done along with a through clean up. This contractor comes highly recommended in all aspects of the process. A side note; post reviews on home repairs so others have some place to start.

We had a new roof installed July of 2018, shortly after that we have heavy rain with high winds and…read morenoticed a leak, our roofer came out and found that we needed tuck pointing on our chimney (he took pictures to show the issue) he gave us Al Menting as a reference. Within a few days Al jr. came out and told us that about 10% of the chimney needed to be tuck pointed, the price was fair so we scheduled. Due to a back log of work due to rain Al said they were 3-4 weeks out and would call the day before work was to begin. About 4 weeks later we got the call and the crew of guys arrived the next day. The chimney was repaired and waterproofed in a few hours, pictures were taken and showed to is before they left. I will use them in the future if needed.

The guy that came to give me the quote asked me how I heard of Image Pros so he could adjust quote…read moreaccordingly. I told him I saw good reviews on Angieslist and he said "oh good, thats our best rate". He gave me a price for $125 ($95 for sealcoating, $30 for patches). Not the lowest price I've seen as I have received fliers in my mailbox from 5 other companies in the past year for sealcoating. Other companies had quoted anywhere from $66 to $85, although im sure this didn't account for the crack patching which cost an extra $30 with Image Pros. Im happy with the price for the quality of the work done. They did a clean job, used patch to take care of the cracks, and there are no lines/striping like i've seen in some other sealcoating jobs. The main problem I had was in coordinating the job. They originally scheduled the job for the day after the 4th of July extended holiday weekend (Tuesday July 5th). I went home at noon that day for lunch and saw nothing had been done. I called and asked what time they would arrive. I was told they would be out in the afternoon. Got home from work at 5 and still nothing. They called me at 5:30 and said they would reschedule to Friday because it looked like it may rain the next day. I was home from work all day on Friday the 9th. Called in the morning to remind them that were scheduled for that day. They said they would be there late afternoon. Again, got a call a little after 5pm saying that their truck had broke down and needed to reschedule to the following Monday the 12th. The woman asked me how this worked for me, and I told her it "wasnt as good as today, I was home all day from work". But I again rescheduled. I asked her what time specifically they would do the job on Monday, the woman told me I could call Monday morning to find if it would be done in the morning or afternoon. I elected not to call and hope it would just be done sometime that day. The job was in fact complete when I arrived home at noon on Monday, July 12th. They blocked off the drive with string and neon colored flags as hoped. Good final product, just seemed unprofessional in coordination. Also I told the woman on the phone in a prior conversation that I had a coupon for 10% off from angieslist.com. So my final price was $112.50. In my opinion, the guy who quoted the job originally should have applied this discount when he asked how I heard of the company and he said that was their best discount. (unless he did apply the discount unbeknownst to me and I received the discount twice, although I doubt this is the case).

The cement work they did started falling apart almost immediately--cracks everywhere, uneven surfaces, the whole thing was a disaster. When I called to get it fixed, Larry couldn't have cared less. He flat-out refused to do anything about it, claiming it wasn't their problem. Excuse me? How is your shoddy work NOT your problem? Larry was rude, dismissive, and downright unprofessional. It's clear he's only interested in taking your money and running, with zero regard for quality or customer satisfaction. The fact that this guy is still in business is beyond me. Save yourself the headache (and your hard-earned money) and take your project to literally ANYONE else. Avoid this scam artist like the plague.
