"Chimney work was outstanding. The new chimney matches the house brick in color and variations! The house is 60 years old. The mortar work replaced all of the holes and made the walls look new. I would use them for any future masonry or chimney work I need."

"Chaffee did an excellent job on the masonry repair I needed. Had been looking for someone to repair concrete stone steps leading from 2 wide patio glass doors into my back yard. Work was perfect. Got a written quote which was very reasonable and project completed in 2 days. Result is stunning. Very professional! Would highly recommend them."

"Our fireplace needed to be relined. When Jon and Ron looked at the project to provide a quote they observed additional items with bricks at the top of the chimney and cracked bricks in the fire box not communicated to me by another contractor. They worked safely and professionally to repair all the issues. At the end of the project they cleaned up and provided a complete walk thru of the job."

"The crew from Salgadoâ  s Brick Paving Services did an excellent job at rebuilding my brick column to my garage. The crew arrived early but waited for the scheduled start time. Greg reviewed the work and explained the modifications for the dayâ  s goal. The work went well and the clean up was excellent. I would use them again."

"TY and his crew (Ozzy with Asphalt, Luis with Brick) did an amazing job turning our one-car outdated driveway (25 years old) into a new beautiful asphalt drive! We added a landing pad for another car in the front as well as redid our front walkway. Luis' crew did a fantastic job with the brick and Ozzy's crew equaled that with our asphalt drive. TY was helpful, extremely responsive, and dedicated to doing us right by his work. He was quick to reply back with any questions and communicate any ideas or scheduling changes. Luis and Ozzy were also very kind and their crews worked really hard to deliver what we think was an amazing end product! The only small caveat was that they did not fill the hole in our small patch of grass in front of the walk despite TY telling us that they would, and there was a bit of clean up on our end after they left (sweeping, spraying down the patio, etc.) Not a big deal to us, but figured it was worth mentioning here. I would absolutely recommend working with TMW Enterprises as their prices were fair and descriptive, they were very responsive with communication, and all of the crews were punctual, kind, and hard-working! They even let my nephew watch them for a bit and engaged with him. If we need any paving work done in the future, we'll absolutely call on them. Thanks!"

"We had an excellent experience with Eddie and his crew. Eddie was very responsive to all of our questions and ideas during the construction process, and very easy to work with. The measuring and installation of the customized decking, railing, stairs, bead board was precise. His crew constructed four stone columns for the front porch that are perfect. His painters did a great job staining the new lattice and pergola . His crew were real craftsman; very friendly, hard working, and kept the construction area very clean. The work was completed on-time, and the add-ons were very fairly priced. Every part of the experience exceeded our expectations"

"Olsen Tuckpointing Company did a brilliant job of cleaning & tuckpointing our 91-year-old brick bungalow. We are delighted with the results and highly recommend Olsen if you need any kind of brickwork done. It wasn't a huge job, but with the home being as old as it is, we were concerned about getting it done right. The brick exterior had quite a few old mortar patches and some washed-out sections, and over the years the walls had collected a wide assortment of paint stains, hardware hangers and old screw holes. The textured, tan brick also looked pretty dingy, although we weren't sure how much was the original color and how much might be accumulated dirt. The attached pictures show the after & before of dull brown bricks cleaned to a warm, clean gold. I didn't take closeups of the repairs, but I am impressed by how seamlessly the new work blends in with the older mortar. Everyone was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and professional, and I have only good things to say about them all. The estimator was able to come out quickly after the initial contact, he did a comprehensive walk-though, and he provided a clear, reasonable, and detailed estimate in a timely fashion--along with an explanation of the whole process from start to finish, so we would know what to expect. The office staff was great about getting things scheduled and making sure we knew when the crews would be showing up, the crews introduced themselves on arrival, and they were all friendly, careful, and incredibly skilled. We are 100% pleased as can be & will certainly be calling Olsen Tuckpointing when next we need any masonry work performed."

"Brick and Stone reached out immediately upon my request for a free quote. A gentleman was here the next day. I had some loose stones above my garage that needed repair. Kris was able to come out within days to complete the work. He arrives early and completed everything as described. I am very pleased and would definitely utilize their services again. I would like to upload more photos, but the files are too large."

"I had a new cap, the top six courses of brick replaced, and the rest tuck-pointed on my fireplace chimney. The chimney looks new, the worksite looks as though they were never here. Hardworking, respectable guys who would always take time to answer questions. Beautiful work at a very reasonable price. Highly recommended."

To refresh your living room without overspending, focus on cost-effective projects that enhance style and function. Start with simple DIY tasks like painting walls and adding new window treatments. For more complex living room remodeling updates, establishing your budget with a professional general contractor will help your project stay on track.
Remodeling a living room is generally less intensive than updating a kitchen or bathroom, which often involves complex electrical, plumbing, and structural work. Living room projects typically focus on aesthetic and functional improvements that can have a significant impact without extensive renovations. This means living room upgrades often cost less and require less labor, making them a cost-effective way to enhance your home's overall appeal.
