But according to the city inspector, the chimney wasn't up to code and they never even got a city permit! Because of their negligence, my house caught on fire when I used the chimney. It was one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. Thank God no one got hurt and my insurance was able to cover the damage, but this should have never happened. I feel completely betrayed by this company. They were supposed to make my home safer -- not put my family in danger. Please, don't make the same mistake I did. Always double-check for permits and inspections before trusting anyone with your home.

They make you feel confident about the contract, but when they rolled up, they showed me what I signed versus what I needed done! -- After the contractor and I had looked at the broken chimney in our attic, we saw that the chimney was clearly breaking and falling over, but the contract only stated to replace the roofing around it. That's ridiculous for a $17.5k job! They then asked me for $30k!!! I should have kicked them off the property, but the salesman was the same guy as job lead. And he told me everything was okay, but I ended up paying more than the quote by $2500. I took pictures of what they said was not covered in the estimate! Ridiculous!

I had multiple contractors come quote digging up the whole garden and extending the current patio to cover. Unlike others who came, Ray was the only one who took the time to walk through exactly what I was looking to do and gave a very honest quote. He was able to schedule the work right away and his team showed up ready to go. The project hit an unexpected complication during the work when we realized the rat damage was worst than expect to the patio. Ray informed us and showed us directly the issue then walked through our option and we shifted the project slightly. Ray and his team worked hard over the two days and the project came out excellent! I would absolutely be reaching back out to Roadstone Masonry and Building if any more work is needed in the future.

I shared with him what I thought was possible and Michael and team filled in the details. They ended up giving me a whole new backyard. Michael met us at the stone gallery and was patient with us while we discussed options and tweaked the proposal. He worked with us and was onsite every day. They worked very fast. They did all of the following in 3 weeks and 2 days - took down a huge rock wall 4ft x 80ft, removed 6ft ft of earth behind that, added several inches of rock and paving substrate to remove the need for a step on 2 doors, put up a new huge retaining wall, and replaced 3 small ones with steps. They did all this on a hilly property. The grass was damaged in spots and they brought in new soil and flattened it out and seeded it. They are not cheap but provided a good value and likely a better product than other quotes. One example is using some of the extra retaining wall blocks to stabilize the paver patio stays in place on both sides. Every weekend they cleaned the street and made sure to not block traffic everyday. I have more projects for Michael and team and look forward to further improving my property. I'll add more photos when all the grass comes back and I get better patio furniture.

I interviewed a few masonry companies for repairing spalling brick in my basement. Some wanted to…read moreparge the walls, which was not what I wanted. Some quoted me fairly high prices for the repair, but Martin Forde offered me the best, and most reasonable cost for the job. During our interview Martin struck me as a competent, and fair mason and he is responsive by email, which are valuable traits in a contractor. We scheduled the job, and he and his team showed up right on time. The first thing I learned is that Forde masonry may not have a full time staff. Martin definitely came out to my job periodically to deliver materials, but the masons who did the work were actually two latinos who seemed to be day laborers. They were competent, and very polite as I asked questions in my broken Spanish, but that makes accountability a little more difficult. That became a problem when I was in the basement with another contractor, and I saw one of the mason repairing a hole that was two withes thick. He was just repairing the outward face that I could see, but leaving a whole in the second layer. I asked him about it, so he dropped some mortar into the hole, a few bricks, and kept on with his repair. Yes, it visually looks fine and I would not have noticed if I were not watching as the hole was getting closed up, but that is not what I expect when I hire a professional mason to repair my walls. My job is done though, and I hopefully will not need masonry help for a while. Most of the issues I had are easily fixed with a little more attention to detail, and oversight, so I would encourage others to give Martin a chance if you need masonry help.
