After obtaining 3 cost estimates and listening to each sales pitch I decided to go with Jeremy Blackburn, owner of Urban Hardscapes. His cost estimate was very reasonable and he used premium materials. Jeremy also listened to my requirements, addressed all my questions and concerns, and made some great professional suggestions. We collaborated during the design/installation process. I couldn't be happier with the final product. These guys were great. They were very timely and respectful for the property. I would highly recommend them for any hardscaping needs. We are now in discussions for a future deck replacement. https://www.urbanhardscapesllc.com/

The brick steps to my home had developed cracks in the mortar and had loose bricks, which were a…read moresafety issue for anyone walking on them. I turned to Yelp to commission a brick mason to fix my decrepit steps and Lucas S. of MASONRY RESTORATION and SERVICES contacted me for the job. Lucas S. placed a bid on the job which was a flat fee; no hassles. I appreciated his pricing for the job as it was a fair price for the scope of the assignment. On the first day, Lucas S. arrived at the job site on time and ready to go. He skillfully removed all the old mortar from between the bricks and prepared the steps for the acceptance of the new mortar. The following day Lucas arrived to fill in the color matched new mortar surrounding the bricks. He took meticulous care to ensure that all the bricks were filled with new mortar and were aligned properly. The bricks and mortar were allowed to set for full day to ensure the structural integrity of the steps were properly secured. On the third day Lucas arrived to apply a chemical solution to remove any excess grout and dust film that had accumulated during the work. The steps were restored to look brand new. Lucas cleaned up the job site ensuring all the dust and debris was removed to my satisfaction. Anyone looking for a brick mason, reach out to Lucas S. of MASONRY RESTORATION and SERVICES for a professional, highly skilled and meticulous craftsman. He will provide you an outstanding product at a very fair and competitive price.

Would highly recommend him to anyone in need of masonry services!

He told me they were very experienced at this work and would like to meet with me to do an estimate. Asked if I would send him my detailed plans of the patio I wanted and pictures of the stamped concrete pattern I wanted to use. I did that around this same time, September 8th. Never heard back from him. I even sent him a message through Yelp to see why he hadn't responded. Still no reply to date. I've given up waiting and doubt I'll ever hear from this company.

Michael, "Smiley", and his guys did a fantastic job on my house, the end result looks amazing and…read morethe process was smooth, friendly, and easy. The lintel above my garage, which is the long piece of metal that spans the width of the garage and holds up the brick above the garage door, was sagging, which means the bricks were also sagging, no longer straight or level, and the grout was cracking severely on both sides. Clearly the original builder used a lintel that was too short, it only overlapped the sides by a few inches and it should overlap by about a foot. I was concerned the bricked above the garage could collapse and come crashing down. See all the pictures. Michael came out to asses, gave me a price right then and there m, and we made the deal on a handshake. He came to the house when he said he would each time, communicated regularly via text and in person, brought out his extremely capable mason team when needed and got the job done in reasonable time with incredible results. They removed and reset each individual brick, every row of bricks above my garage all the way up to the roof, and they *cleaned and reused* every brick so they would match the rest of the house perfectly. The end result is truly astonishing, it actually looks better, straighter and more uniform, than I could have imagined, it literally looks better than new. See photos. The grout cracks are all fixed just as he promised and they look amazing. His price was extremely fair and very competitive with other bids. I 100% recommend Michael Smiley for your masonry work and I will absolutely call him first, without a doubt, for my masonry needs in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
