"Wouldnâ t recommend this company to my worst enemy. Not sure where to beginâ ¦ our so called PM allowed his crew to dig a hole in our backyard and put the rebar in all while a hurricane was about to hit. We raised our concerns and the PM informed us that he doesnâ t pay attention to pending weather conditions. No concrete was poured prior to the storm hitting which wouldâ ve protected our investment, instead we watched as the walls caved in and the hole filled with water and mud which left the rebar with nothing behind it. This incompetence set the project back over a week and the workmanship was sloppy playing catch up. The employees spent a good portion of their day being unproductive and unprofessional. As you can see from one the attached pictures that one of their employees took time out of their day on our dime to play artist and draw a nice flower in the wet cement. Again, we addressed our concerns with the PM and was immediately accused of doing this ourselves. Midway through the project there were days when one their employeeâ s kids showed up unsupervised to work. The work site was kept a mess with property used as storage. Shortly after the paver deck was completed they had workers show up to clean up a pile of plywood and other lumber which was in the way of our fence being reinstalled. My wife was speaking with one of the workers and he began to argue about completely removing the trash from our property. At this point she broke away from the conversation so I decided shortly thereafter to review our security camera footage to witness the exchange at which point I overheard the gentleman call my wife a B**** as he walked away. There was no effort to smooth the concrete surface prior to applying the pebble tech surface which caused the finally product to turn out with a lump and wavy surface. There is an actually indentation on the sun shelf which was caused by one of their workers walking in wet concrete and again not going back to smooth out the surface. AGIAN, we raised concerns regarding the quality and was actually told that the uneven surface was INDUSTRY STANDARD, which came directly from their QC employee. Towards the end of the project being completed we discovered that their workers had been using our property as a urinal behind the shed. As you can see from the attached pictures the fence was stained yellow. I can keep going and going but Iâ m done investing any additional time with these people. One of the truly sad parts is that we were never offered an apology nor did any from their company take ownership for any of the mistakes. So in the end if you wanna hire a company that is completely unprofessional, unethical and incompetent then hire them. Iâ ll leave it at this quote directly from our PM, â we dug a hole in your backyard and filled it with water, what more do you wantâ ¦â"

"I have this company done a front yard pavement with a small step at the entrance. The job was done right and they look very nice, but I had made a verbal agreement with this lady and is in writing. I will trash out the wood and she will deduct $300 from the final job. I pay her the amount determined but the discount was never executed, after I clean all the woods and rented a truck. Im still waiting for my reimbursement of $300."

"I an writing this review to describe what your should experience could be like if you do business with Prefered Pools and Pavers. Just like any contractor, they will promise the world, yet the result from those promises will cost you a fortune later on. In addition to the paver patio I paid to have installed, I also hired them to install a drain for the downspouts as well as applying a Sealent on the pavers after the work was laid down. The result of the lack of sealent is weeds and grass growing between the pavers. The growth is thick enough to trim with a lawn mower. Dan knows what they did not follow through with their promises, and 2 years after they walked off the project, the work is still not done. The two mistakes that I will take ownership of is 1. Paying them the balance of the project before it was completed. 2 Hiring Prefered Pools and Pavers for this project. Lesson learned!"

Most professional brick step replacements require three to five working days to complete. The process begins with demolition of existing structures, followed by foundation preparation, brick installation, and finishing touches.
Weather conditions, project complexity, and the contractor's schedule can all influence the timeline. Simpler projects with fewer steps may finish more quickly, while elaborate designs or unexpected structural issues could extend the process by several days.
Spring and fall provide ideal conditions for masonry work, with moderate temperatures that allow proper mortar curing. Summer installations may require special precautions to prevent materials from drying too quickly in extreme heat, while winter projects face challenges in freezing conditions that can compromise mortar integrity.
Beyond weather considerations, scheduling during a mason's less busy season might result in more attentive service and potentially better pricing.
Permit requirements vary significantly by location. Many municipalities require permits for structural changes to entrances, especially if you're modifying the size, configuration, or adding features like railings.
The permitting process involves submitting plans, paying a permit fee, and scheduling inspections. Professional contractors often handle these requirements as part of their service. Check with your local building department before beginning work to avoid potential fines or complications.
Maintaining brick steps involves regular sweeping to remove debris, prompt cleaning of spills or stains, and annual inspection of mortar joints for signs of deterioration. During winter, use calcium chloride-based ice melt products rather than rock salt, which can damage brick surfaces.
Avoid high-pressure washing, which may erode mortar joints over time. With proper care and occasional maintenance like repointing (replacing deteriorated mortar), quality brick steps can last decades before requiring significant repairs.
