Finding a good mason takes time and you also need the patience when they are in high demand. Such…read moreis the case with my experience with DiMarco masonry. I was in dire need of pointing for my home and also to address water issues coming off my solid cement staircase. Jim DiMarco came to my home late last year and went over what could be done to help me. He recommended putting in a metal drain below the "lip" of the staircase to reduce run off. When it comes to pointing, the business just doesn't fill in the gaps. Instead they dig out the old cement and insure fresh cement to insure a solid seal. Such was the plan given to me last fall and reflected on my estimate. At that time I was told my project would be done sometime this year. DiMarco masonry called me a day ahead of time to let me know what day and time they would be out and he and his assistant arrived promptly at the scheduled time. I checked in on the work here and there and saw that the work was very thorough and they cleaned up appropriately. Jim DiMarco showed me the metal lip he placed on my concrete block and hopefully it should keep excess water from running down my staircase and onto my newly finished bricks. If I had an issue at any time I was free to call him. I was very pleased with his services and am glad I could find a mason to do a quality job. This business is much in demand at the current time so if you are willing to wait on your project then I highly recommend their services.

We wanted to close a door to a small porch off the master bedroom and our contractor sealed it with drywall and tarp, but we needed a mason to match the brick and brick it in. Our house in Mt Lebanon is 96 years old and the brick is unique. I called Jim Dimarco and he came over that SAME DAY (!) to look at the house and the next day it wasn't freezing (they cannot mix cement needed for masonry if below freezing temps) his crew came over and finished the job. The brick he found was perfect and now you could never tell there ever had been a doorway originally - the work was that good. Plus he's a super nice guy - as was his crew. Could not be happier - would never use anyone else. Thanks Jim!

First Choice Chimney Service

First Choice Chimney Service was wonderful to work with! Our house was having chimney/wood stove…read moreair flow problems and we hired Michael to add an outside air intake. This was to improve efficiency and heat output by helping our older wood stove achieve optional combustion temperatures. We also wanted to avoid an issue where soot had blasted through any crevice in the stove twice when oxygen level shifted quickly (at least that is what I think was the issue; I am no expert). This outside air intake would also help oxygen not be depleted in the room. It was an unusual request to make because of the type of wood stove we have but we wanted to make the system more functional and Michael installed the intake. He did good work the first day but I wanted to comment on his helpfulness the second day he came over. After the install of the air intake, the downstairs of our house was very cold because outside air was streaming through those same crevices that soot got through. Michael came back quickly after we called to add special insulation where he could on the stove and around the pipe/tubing leading outside. He made sure everything was sealed extra well and also put in a sort of switch thing to open and close the tubing when needed. This cold air coming in was not Michael's fault; it was because of the kind of non-pedestal older wood stove we have. I don't think any of us realized how many crevices there were that air would seep through. We are grateful that Michael came back to do these extra steps and fix our system at no extra charge. It was obvious he wanted to make sure we were happy with the work overall, and we are. We would hire him again and probably will if we have future issues or want to install a new stove one day!

1-Didn't have the tools for the job. 2-Didn't know how to do the job. 3-Never showed up on time. Details below. 1-Attempted to sand a large room with hand sanders (presumably to save money on renting a push sander). Only after days of predictably bad results did they finally spend some of the cost deposit on a push sander. Since the push sander didn't reach under cabinets or hard to reach places, those areas just didn't get sanded down to wood. 2-Used rollers and a squeegee to apply the stain almost like they were coating a driveway. 3-I honestly don't think that they showed up on time ever (one time for four days). Excuses ranged from: "I emailed you last week. [receives a screenshot showing no email received] "That's weird I swore I clicked send;" "had an appoint at 9 forgot about;" "meeting lasted longer than expected;" "I had an emergency;" "just notice that my email didn't send;" "I'm on another project today;" "alarm clock didn't go off;" "just went and bought a truck;" "I planned on being [there] yesterday and had to change the fuel pump." Four-day refinishing job turned into almost three weeks. Never sanded the old stain off (see photos of old stain remaining along all edges of the floor, footprints across new stain (see photos). Spills, spots everywhere (see photo of one of the better ones). Destroyed the baseboards. My kitchen floor is not just unfinished. It is basically vandalized. Damage will cost $10k to repair. read more

I am writing about my experience with Kitchen and Bath Gallery in Fairmont. For anyone needing…read morekitchen or bath remodeling or repair I would avoid them at all cost. Kitchen & Bath Gallery is extremely unprofessional, vastly overcharge, do shoddy work and refuse to fix their many mistakes. This is the worst company that has ever done any work for me. First off , they charge $100 just to give an estimate. I have never had any other company do that and I have had several doing work on our house since we bought it. They all gave FREE estimates. My husband and I had them to install 2 new toilets, a bathroom sink faucet, ceramic tile flooring in a very tiny half bath, install a shower head( which looks horrible and is an eyesore because of the shotty job they did), remodel our basement shower with tile, install an outside faucet, replace our kitchen faucet, install a non vented range hood, and a garbage disposal. We ended up having them come back several times to fix the things they messed up. First the shower they tiled: the shower floor tiles started coming up the first time the shower was used. They tried to blame us for getting the wrong tile when they never told us what to get in the first place. After several times of them coming out and putting more glue and grout down only for them to keep coming loose they finally told us what tile to get and they came back out to install it. The tiny bathroom where they tiled the floor had grout that was cracking so I called them and they came out to fix it. Well now the grout lines look like crap because he used a different color grout the second time and there is still places where the grout is cracking and coming out. I also told him about the shower head that they installed that doesn't work right and looks terrible. He said he took a picture and would send it to his boss who would get a hold of me about what they could do about it. He never contacted me. To put the topping on the cake. I was using the kitchen faucet when the entire faucet came off the base of the sink. We tried to see if we could fix it only to find that a part that would screw it down is totally missing. I got my instruction manual out to be sure and the part they show is not there so I have no idea how he rigged it on there but it is now off. I called them up hoping they could tell me what happened or come out to fix it since the piece that is supposed to be there is not there and he tells me that I will be charged for a service call. We decided if we were going to have to pay to have it fixed we would just call a professional since they had already screwed it and many other things up. We spent a good bit of money with them and we were not happy at all. I would look elsewhere for more professional people.
