And, he is an excellent problem solver who can implement solutions. The doors came out great as did the mortar work. In the middle of his work, we had a leak, and James discovered the source as coming from a dormer. He fixed it and replace all the siding perfectly. The leak is gone. James is polite, timely and responsive. If he has to change his schedule due to weather, he calls. He cleans up each day very neatly, a big plus! And his skills go beyond carpentry. His prices are fair and his work is high quality. We recommend him highly and will use him again.

Buyer beware - he overcharges…read more I hired Ron Armstrong, owner of Affordable Masonry, to complete a job to shore up about 75 feet of old foundation on our 1850s era house. He figured out pretty early that I did not know much of masonry or foundation work, and then he overcharged me. I was unaware of the extent of work to be undertaken in what he called a patch and repair job. Specifically, I thought this was a big job, since the foundation was old and the stones had gaps in them. So, I signed a contract for $4500 for the work, that he said he would undertake with his crew. He showed up with one person at 9am on a Friday and was finished with the work by 1:30pm. Very little time was taken up in letting first coats of binding and cement dry. When I asked him why the high charge for such a small job, he only said that he works fast and efficient. When my wife argued with him about the charge, his comment showed how he approached the whole job - "You rich people are so cheap." We are not rich, but that's what he saw and he was determined to milk us for all he could.
