My husband and I are first-time homebuyers, and we went into this feeling a little nervous. Joe really put us at ease! He explained what he was doing while inspecting the home, and we learned a lot just from watching him work. His report was also very detailed but easy to follow. Thanks to Joe, we feel really confident in our home purchase, and we are able to prioritize our upcoming repairs.

I'm going to start this off with positive vibes. Mike Gallagher was very nice and prompt with…read morereturning calls. He came right out to give us a quote, which was a very reasonable quote. But the whole process which has been going on for over a month now has been terrible. Our wall was falling and the steps were separating from the wall. So we decided to finally get them redone. We had steps and a stone wall. We met with Mike and he gave us options of material for the wall. We picked bricks and of course they weren't in stock so we asked to wait for them to be in stock rather than picking new ones. Mike was fine with that. Him and his crew started with the demo. They learned that our original wall didn't have a footer so he had to add a footer to the price. Okay. Not a problem. Paid a deposit via his website which was easy. He started to do the steps. Looking at them they were uneven and crooked. Mike claimed they weren't done and then decided he wanted to bull nose the steps. Instead of demoing the steps completely, he chipped up the first layer and added new concrete to add the bull nose and level them out. They look absolutely horrible. They are two different colors. Not smooth and still uneven. Might i also add that they claimed steps are their specialty. The wall looked nice when they were done with it. But the more you look at it you began to notice small things that made you say, hmmm... The new wall was smaller than our original wall. And one side was shorter than our original wall. Okay. Whatever. There also was only one or two mesh areas for water to drain. Paid him in full PLUS a nice tip. Thought, okay. Whatever. We'll fix the steps next yr. But after our first rain storm issues began to arrise. We noticed that one of the caps on the wall was cracked. Which then soon broke. We also noticed that the caps are NOT secured. We could lift just about every one. Now we're very annoyed. Mike comes back to fix everything. But he managed to make it look worse. The cracked one was never fixed (as of 10/4.) The mortar that he used was just plopped ontop of the bricks and not cleaned up or smoothed out. There are holes between my caps and bricks. We legit can see through it. They are lifted and just look terrible! There is mortar pouring over the sides. The caps aren't straight anymore either. They are shifted when they used to be at least pretty straight. Not to mention the mess they left. Dirt everywhere. Cement all over my driveway that we are now having to chip up and power wash everything. I was so excited to improve the outside of my house and now it looks worse than before. I do not recommend Gallagher Masonry unless you don't care about things being straight, done well and cleaned up.

Hired Penn Valley Engineering on March 23, 2026 for a structural engineering inspection and…read morenarrative report (SEN) at an agreed fee of $785. Inspection was completed March 26. Report was due within 5-7 business days per the written agreement. On March 28, I received Invoice #4534 dated 03/26/2026, showing a $0.00 balance due and stamped PAID -- Penn Valley's own invoice considered the account settled at $785. Buried in the invoice fine print was a "$50 charged for returned checks" -- the first mention of any such fee, appearing after the contract was formed and after the check was issued. When the check did not clear, Brad demanded $870 -- $785 plus $85 in fees. This contradicts his own invoice which states $50, not $85. Neither figure was disclosed in the original agreement. Pennsylvania law (18 Pa.C.S. § 4105) caps returned check fees at $50 and requires the fee to be conspicuously disclosed at the time the check is issued -- buried invoice fine print sent after the fact does not meet this standard. When I questioned the $85 fee, I was told "if I have to explain what is involved when this happens the price will go up." I paid $820 via Zelle on April 3 -- the full $785 plus $35 as a good-faith accommodation. As of May 4, 2026 -- 40 days after the inspection and 31 days after full payment -- no report has been delivered and no communication received. I paid promptly. I cooperated fully. I have received nothing.
