I reached out to Matt Burns in the early summer of 2020 for an estimate to replace the clearly…read morefailing railroad tie retaining wall in my back yard. Matt's was one of several estimates I sought, and pricing was all over the place. Matt's bid was competitive and fair, and he demonstrated a depth of knowledge and familiarity that made me immediately comfortable hiring him. Due to scheduling conflicts with another contractor installing a deck for me, I threw Matt a few curveballs. At least twice I had to ask him to move his start date, and when his team did arrive, the deck contractors were totally in his way. Throughout, Matt was patient and focused on his work. The guys he brought with him worked tirelessly over four days to excavate, remove old materials, prepare proper drainage missing from the old wall, rebuild the wall with new EP Henry pavers and regrade the area around the new wall - as well as around my driveway. Matt and his crew went above and beyond, doing extra regrading work not included in his estimate at no additional charge. And they cleaned up the work area at the end of the job beautifully. The wall looks so good that the old, shabby brick pavers by my pool now look sad by comparison. I'll be asking Matt Burns to come back to address that issue, and others, in the future. Hire Matt with confidence. You'll be glad you did. And if you have questions or want more details just message me. I'm happy to offer my strong recommendation of Matt and his team.

I reached out to Bander after speaking to another contractor that took weeks to get back to me…read moreevery time I tried to communicate with him. His quote was also much higher than what Bander offered and in my opinion he wanted to do a lot of unnecessary work for my situation. The issue I had was mortar erosion between bricks on a home I just purchased recently. When I called Bander my call was answered immediately and all communication thereafter was timely. When I first called, I spoke to Mike who got me scheduled for an estimate. Mike was able to come to my property quickly and was on time. Mike was very professional and took time to go over the work needing to be done. The price he quoted me was very fair and I put down the required deposit and told him to go ahead and put me on the schedule. I was told that it would be a few weeks before they could come do the work which was fine. I was actually scheduled much sooner than I thought I would be. The work done went above and beyond anything I was expecting. Since we had agreed to only fix the problem areas lacking mortar between bricks I thought only the really bad spots would be fixed. That said, everything that even looked like it needed work was tended to and the job was so good that all the repairs they did blend in very well with what was already there. The work done was very meticulous and attention was given to every detail. Once the work was completed great care was taken to clean up the area as well. Overall I am extremely happy with the work done by Bander and will definitely contact them in the future for more work when the time comes.

Steve Preiss is an artist, a craftsman and a reliable contractor I was fortunate to get connected…read moreto him through a neighbor who has known him for a long time. We bought our old stone pile almost 2.5 years ago and discovered during our investigations that the seller who had been in the house for 30+ years had never had a mason do any work. It showed. With the aid of another friend who specialized in masonry restoration, I set out with Steve Preiss to tackle all the issues: stone weathered by too hard portland cement mortar, arch keystones slipping because of mortar washout, rotting window frames and sills because of open cracks where wood met stone. Steve Preiss matched mortar color in every area of house. He's done many distinct projects: a chimney, pointing walls, rebuilding a collapsed dry stack wall, rebuilding entryway piers, rebuilding archways, lots of different pointing of stone (mostly) and brick floor (a little bit). He's a gem.

He worked during the hottest time of the summer but didn't let that slow him down. He is a perfectionist, if he didn't like it he'd fix it. The price was definitely fair. I found him through Google and so glad to have found someone honest and trustworthy who wasn't trying to nickle and dime me to death. Most importantly, my heating bill was considerably lower after getting this work done. And he referred me to his buddy who did the flashing who went above and beyond at a reasonable cost.
