Critical because my lender required masonry work be completed on the exterior part of the fireplace expanding the 20+ feet. f home I wanted. Eric Salazar, owner of Salazar Masonry has a high level of integrity - he did exaxtly what he said he will do when he said he would do it for the price he promised, which since this was unexpected was likewise critical. Salazar Masonry is a quality professional, honest, professional, and courteous.

Eric was recommended by neighbors who had successful work done my him and his crew. Eric is professional, punctual and consistent. The work and clean up was exceptional. They rebuilt the wall and put the proper netting, drainage and bricks in place. My plants were protected as well. I need repainting but I am attaching some proof of great work. We also needed some brick repair on a front yard wall and that was handled nicely as well.

HEAR ME CLEARLY, If I could give zero stars, I would. Melvin Alexander (Dirt Cheap Advantage) is…read morethe most unprofessional and dishonest remodeling contractor I have ever hired. He was paid 50% upfront (over $8,000) via wire transfer, misled me about the price of construction materials (cabinets, etc.), and provided nothing but excuses and delays. LISTEN TO ME...Don't be fooled by the 3D Rendering mockup he provides. It's all a show!! The renovation his so-called crew (unqualified and unlicensed) performed was shoddy and unsafe (wrong screws, multiple random holes in my wall-one that punctured my electrical cords that power my AC unit, etc.), handling tasks that should only be completed by licensed, skilled and COMPETENT contractors. After bringing in certified electricians and HVAC technicians to evaluate the remodeling work (due to being without AC for nearly 48 hours which was caused by his incompetent crew), I was strongly advised by my electrician, HVAC specialist , and close friend who's an electrical engineer, to stop the project entirely for safety as well as professional reasons. He caused more damage to my home and ripped our drywall that should have never been removed...never! Though I was stern and adamant about my budget not exceeding a certain amount, he made repeated attempts to change my mind. Also, he lied about his knowledge of and ability to sand hardwood floors...no one is an expert in everything but he pretends to be. In my opinion, this company deliberately targets single women and exploits them with poor workmanship and lies. Though he came highly recommended by a coworker, I discovered that he only performed a small job but never actually repaired/replaced anything inside of his home. The ONLY reason I decided to award him the job (over $16,000) is because of my coworker's recommendation and my urgent need to renovate/repair my kitchen before I was scheduled to deploy again (first responder and emergency manager). Time was of the essence for me, so I leaped before I looked (conducted research and asked for other references). Trust, I will NEVER do that again. I've lost over $4,000, which he never sent back (all materials never purchased-I have proof). Also, after doing some digging, seeking counsel from an attorney friend, and contacting the GA Board of Contractors, I discovered that his shady business was DISSOLVED by the State of GA in June of 2025 (it's public record...visit the Sec. of State's website, you'll find it there). His business is not even recognized as a valid or legitimate business in the state of GA where he's operating. I also discovered a few other things that I can't speak on due to an open and on-going investigation. All in all, do yourself a favor: hire a reputable, honest, licensed PROFESSIONAL for your home renovation or remodeling needs -- NOT THIS ONE. There is sooo much more I could share pertaining to my experience, which turned into an absolute nightmare. I may have lost over $4,000, but my goal is to make sure no one is bamboozled, robbed and lied to in the way I have been. Don't take my word for it...I have undeniable proof, which is why I contacted the GA Board of General and Residential contractors and have decided to fight instead of allowing this person who lacks character and integrity to get away with wrongdoing. Before you hire this SHADY and unprofessional man, THINK TWICE and take heed to what I've said. I have NO reason to lie. I can tell you about my experience as well as that of others...just email me at JUSTASKGAME@GMAIL.COM. If my testimonial can help someone make a wise and well-informed decision, I am more than willing to be of assistance. AGAIN, DO your research (Sec. of State website, etc.), ask for references you can speak with, BUY YOUR OWN MATERIALS (MOST IMPORTANT), and don't ignore red flags like I did! Better safe than sorry!
