We got the name of ICS from the previous owners as the people who did the roof initially. I called ICS and they send someone out to look within a few days. The person who came to take a look said they would have to send someone else to come take a look. That person never came. I've called ICS back a few times and left them a message. No one has ever answered the phone again or called back. I've moved on to another company at this point.

ICS did an outstanding job installing replacement siding on my house in 2018. Emanuel provided…read moreplenty of information and clarified every detail to set expectations and ensure an accurate estimate. Nick, the project manager, was attentive throughout the entire project, and easy to contact. He answered every question and came by as needed to check progress. His communication and attitude were excellent and he was a pleasure to deal with. All team members who installed the siding were friendly and great at what they did, and also helpfully answered my questions and let me know when anything needed my attention. When weather got in the way that winter, good communication kept the ball rolling. I really appreciate the way ICS handled my project and hope to deal with them again.

They also adjusted on the fly and we able to make a custom solution for us with beautiful wood railings with aluminum balusters. We've gotten multiple compliments from friends how sharp it looks. We have two small kids and were very concerned to be going into winter without railings (we are 33 steps from the street). Jeff was able to squeeze us in before the end of season. Riccardo and his team were out in the freezing temps finishing the railings. Everything came out great; communications were smooth throughout; and cleanup was perfect. I'd highly recommend this company - we plan to use them for home improvement projects in the future.

Working with Masonworks has been a roller coaster. They are very, very good at the masonry aspect,…read morebut we had a negative experience with everything outside of the excellent stone walls and patio they built for us. They have built beautiful flat stone walls for us in our front and back yards. We were very impressed with them after the first job they did for us in our front yard a few years ago, so we did not even look at other companies when we wanted to spruce up our backyard this year. The garden walls they built in the backyard were once again beautiful. However, as a gardener, I was disappointed and frustrated by the following things: - Our contract included 50/50 loam compost for the new garden beds. During the job, we caught them filling the beds with the grass they had pulled up from our old lawn and asked them to stop doing that. - When I went to start planting, I found that the garden beds had only a layer of new soil but that my shovel quickly hit a lot of big rocks and uncovered old soil, debris, and trash. - They completely trampled and destroyed my established perennial garden, which was located in a garden bed above where the new beds were built. They also broke several pavers in a little garden path I had and removed them without replacing them. - They recommended microclover for my lawn and seeded it for us as part of the contract, but it grew in quite spotty despite us maintaining it properly with daily waterings. I contacted them about the first issue and their initial response was to tell me that the stones I was finding were part of the wall construction - this was not the case. They had someone come out to take a look and concluded that the soil did need to be replaced, which they finally did. It is much better now, though I still have found some large stones in it. However, in the process of solving that issue, they caused the second one - many of the perennials that my mother and I had worked to plant over the past four years were totally destroyed. They offered me a credit to compensate for the loss, or the option to have them reinstall new flowers, but by that point I just didn't want them near my garden anymore so accepted the credit. I didn't bother contacting them about the spotty lawn - I threw down some grass seeds yesterday to try and fill in the gaps. While I appreciated that they did eventually take steps to resolve the issues, I found it quite frustrating to have to keep reaching out just to get them to do what they really should have done in the first place. They never did a final walkthrough as I've seen other contractors do. No apology for destroying my garden. They have a Benjamin Franklin quote, "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten" - I definitely felt some of that bitterness throughout this process. My conclusion is that they are really excellent masons but do not understand or respect gardens. If you hire them, be prepared to have to deal with that.

We moved into our condo in 2021 and had replaced the old and rotting planks with composite soon…read moreafter we moved in; however, we were most interested in revitalizing the roof deck altogether - the railing and posts were rotted and had peeling paint, and we had minimal privacy when hosting friends and family. After speaking with several contractors, we were fortunate enough to find Leo, who gave the roof deck a complete facelift! We initially hired Leo to update the siding of our top deck and replace the door leading to the bottom deck. During our first consultation meeting with him, he had brainstormed many design concepts and ideas we had not even thought of that we ultimately went with - we highly appreciated the creativity and effort to make our image a reality. He was incredibly communicative, and we really felt like we were working as a team. We ended up having him replace the railing of our upper deck and added a privacy wall with a beautiful design. He handcrafted the railing and involved us in every step of the design process. He also replaced rotting wood that was exposed beneath the siding, fixed a broken outlet, and completely replaced a rotting window frame. He also put in place LED light strips beneath the railing to create a sense of ambience we didn't even realize we were looking for! Leo was always very transparent with the timing of each phase of this project as well as any associated costs. Leo went above and beyond and returned twice after our final payment to add some minor touch ups to ensure the deck was as picture-perfect as can be! We have many upcoming projects in our new home and hope to work with Leo on all of them. We have already begun brainstorming together what we can do with our bottom deck. We would recommend Leo a thousand times over and are looking forward to collaborating with him again!

S&H did an installation/replacement of a 2nd flr deck, which was overseen by Project Coordinator,…read moreTracey. The deck replacement was done professionally, with great communication, transparency, and in a timely fashion. I felt blessed to have been introduced to Tracey by a consultant after having a prior traumatizing experience with a prior contractor. Anytime I had questions or concerns, Tracey would promptly respond. If she didn't know the answer, she referred me to a person who would know. It's rare that contractors, by default, provide a breakdown of costs the way S&H does and anytime I had a question about an entry, it was responded to promptly. I'd much prefer to get a detailed breakdown, then just scant numbers lumping labor, materials, type of materials, warranty, etc all together. The S&H estimate, billing, and contracts were very professional and detailed. The final overall cost was actually a little bit lower than the estimate, which I really appreciated. The estimate was reasonable, and with the level of detail, was easy to cross reference costs. Tracey's transparency, communication, attention to concerns, and follow through added to the overall positive experience.
