We are extremely pleased with how beautifully this walkway turned out on our Dover, Delaware…read moreproperty. Stephen responded quickly and professionally to our inquiry, quoted a reasonable price - which fell in the middle of two other quotes. He and his crew went above and beyond expectations, including leveling off the sides with topsoil and patching up parts of another pathway. We were fully expecting to have to repair our electric dog fence upon completion, but they worked very carefully to preserve it - and took good care with our landscaping. He showed up when he said he would and finished when he said he would. We have gotten a lot of compliments from neighbors.

It is hard to find a good brick mason: someone who understands the physics of how brick and mortar…read moreworks. I know just enough about it to understand how it can all go wrong, and I've felt taken advantage of by contractors before, and so when I got to the point where I felt I could no longer tolerate the deterioration I was observing in my garage, I went to look for a mason. I asked around a lot. The boutique guys, preservationists, and artisans mostly didn't get back to me. One failed to inspire confidence. Another guy stood me up. Another wouldn't go into the city. One never got me a quote. Another guy was very nice and knowledgeable but quoted me a price so high that it had me looking at DIYing it. The search was not pleasant. Brick brothers was different. Stephen understood my concerns about the materials and the work that was needed, he showed an understanding of the principles of brick and mortar masonry on par with the fancier guys, and he quoted me a price I could actually afford. My only critique would be that the written quote lacked detail, but we adequately covered the scope of work verbally. It took two Saturdays, and I'd rough guess 48 man-hours. I'm so glad I didn't have to go the DIY route. Now the way brick goes it's probably at least 5 years before one can be certain that the work is right, but based on my conversations with Stephen and my own observations of his work, I'm confident that I'll see no spalling on the repaired areas. And having seen a few rains since the work was done, I can already report that I'm no longer seeing water infiltration in the repaired areas. So for brick repair needs, Stephen of Brick Brothers hits that rare intersection of competence and price which makes his work a great value. I would absolutely recommend him for any brick masonry needs.

Mr. Cooper addressed the problem and explained that this was Bermuda grass which can make it's way through asphalt. We were always pleased with our new driveway the construction company did. I appreciate the promptness of correcting this concern. Thank you Mr. Cooper. I will refer E Cooper Construction to others.

Eli Cooper, his son Cody and crew did a masterful job on my driveway…read more It was previously tar and chipped by another contractor which lasted about a year before it was redone, which then lasted about two years. Finally I decided to asphalt the driveway and to be done with it forever. I shopped around, got estimates from a handful of contractors, and went and looked at some of their work, new and old. Mr. Cooper is not a salesman, he is a second generation paver working with his son and crew. I feel much better working with the person who is going to do the work compared to a salesperson who is going to tell you how good the work is going to be. Aside from being a master in his field, he is meticulous about from start to finish. You will not find a better person or company to work with. Marc

Mark's is a great company. Price was right and the work was well done and done quickly. We had him…read moredo some drainage work, which takes some expertise; you have to understand water run-off and swales and such. He came and gave me a very reasonable estimate in mid-Summer. I then waited until September for him to do the work (best grass growing season). He was very communicative in scheduling when to come, and any additional minor work that I thought of during the wait. Once at our home his crew went to work immediately, taking a better look at the conditions, slopes, drainage, etc. He adjusted what work he did at that time and his crew finished the work, plus some minor stuff I also asked him to do, within just a few hours. His crew cleaned up all of their mess when they were done (not much, as one concern of mine was driving a Bobcat through my yard to get to the work area, but they didn't have to do that, and used a smaller machine which left no footprint). Highly recommended. I got 1-2 other estimates and they were all a bit higher in price and included a bit more work than what I thought needed to be done to cure our drainage problem.

I called again so that I could make an appointment for the work they said need to be done on the outside of our Chimney. Still waiting for a response. This is something that has to be done in warmer weather because of the bricks and outside Chimney work. I will update my review when the job is completed. Which includes setting up an appointment for the additional work need outside of my Chimney with the brick work. I do appreciate their honesty about for safety reasons to not use the fireplace.

Perfect---better than new. On time, courteous, professional, hard-working. Very fair pricing. Highly recommended!
