I thought I had posted my review after the work was done, guess not.. Just referred Orlando to a…read morefriend. I thought he was excellent, timely, thorough. He worked during the hottest time of the summer but didn't let that slow him down. He is a perfectionist, if he didn't like it he'd fix it. The price was definitely fair. I found him through Google and so glad to have found someone honest and trustworthy who wasn't trying to nickle and dime me to death. Most importantly, my heating bill was considerably lower after getting this work done. And he referred me to his buddy who did the flashing who went above and beyond at a reasonable cost. You'll be glad if you choose G&A

Orlando was great! I had to orchestrate this emergency project for my parents while I was out of…read morethe country. They were super flexible, kind, and responsive. They gave me various options explaining everything in their estimates (all very reasonable) to help me find the solution that best fit my needs, not theirs which I appreciated because not being there was stressful. They showed up on time and got the job finished earlier than I expected with no disruption. I plan to hire them for another project.

I hired the Alston team to give my house a facelift last summer. They did a stucco brick face on…read morethe front and regular stucco on the back. When they were done, it looked like a whole different house. Its beautiful and I'm more than satisfied with how it turned out. I have a 100 year old brick townhouse in Philadelphia and the brick was crumbling when I started to work on it myself. For those that don't want to lose the historic look of a brick home but can't afford to have it repointed, this is the best solution. You would never know that the brick front wasn't original. The work was done quickly and the final product is stunning. I wold recommend getting work from Alston Stucco to anyone I know. See the photos of my red brick home in the photos section.

Zack came out to quote a chimney stucco repair. We signed a work agreement for $5500 and I gave him…read morea $500 check. Later that same evening, he texted that he showed the pictures to his partner and they "needed" another $1000 to complete the job. I responded that for $1000 more, I wanted to get other quotes prior to proceeding. I did get another quote from a stucco guy highly recommended by my builder for $3500. Texted Zack back, saying I wasn't comfortable working with someone who changes their price after a signed agreement. Said he could keep travel expenses and return the rest of the deposit. He claimed he had already bought all the supplies. Who buys supplies when they are told the job was on hold? Anyway, they are evidently going to keep my $500. Fine, I have a stucco guy I can trust and am still $1500 ahead.

After 30 years some of the bricks were…read morecracked and crumbling, some of the brickwork had sunk and it was becoming overgrown with weeds between the bricks. I cannot praise the job they did highly enough. Roberto and the team arrived promptly and did an AMAZING JOB! They pulled up the bricks along the whole perimeter of the patio, leveled and compacted underneath, re-layed the bricks, weeded, cleaned up and put in polymeric sand to prevent new weed growth. It looks like a brand new patio. The crew was courteous, professional and diligent. Highly recommend!

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.
