Pawel came out and priced it our worst case scenario (as requested) to include the veneer and retaining wall. Once we started and saw the retaining wall was intact, he adjusted the price down accordingly. He communicated with me the entire way, giving his opinion and how it would look if we do it this way or that. He wasn't pushy at all, with the exception of the retaining wall adjustment, the price never changed. I've been in construction and facilities all my career, I had Zero issues with Pawel, never thought he was trying to take advantage of me and now have him redoing my back patio which is pavers.

They take the time to thoroughly explain the options and provide a transparent and accurate quote up front, and they do excellent quality work for a very fair price. They have done many repairs for us over the years (stairs, re-caulking balcony, tuckpointing, re-sealing portions of the building) and recently (three years ago) did a complete tuckpoint/masonry repair/seal on our building, a three-story condominium. It is always a pleasure to work with them--they come when they say they are going to come, do the high quality work that they promise, and stand by their work after it is done! Would not hesitate to call them about any masonry issue. Very highly recommend Star!
