"I will give them one star for their unprofessional attitude and conduct. Joe came to check out faucet leak in my bathtub, opened all fixtures leaving a hole in the wall, giving me an estimate for replacement and promising to return on Saturday to replace the fixture, causing flooding due to waterfall from the hole and water damage to my floor in the condo as someone opened the water line, which Joe had shut down for the whole building. After that he disappeared, would not pick up my phone or return my messages, leaving me in the lurch. I would have appreciated an answer even if it meant he could not do the job....just ghosted me, wondering what is going on. Will delete their number and never call them for any service again!!!"

"We recently had the pleasure of working with LorVen for a series of home improvement and home decor projects, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, both the husband and wife team were incredibly thorough and patient in walking us through every detail of the project. They took the time to explain each step, making sure we understood what was being done and why — which was especially helpful given our budget constraints. What really stood out was their commitment to delivering quality work while being mindful of costs. They offered several budget-friendly alternatives and even recommended design or material changes that saved us money — in some cases, at a cost to themselves. Their integrity and dedication to doing what’s best for the client is truly rare. They also guided us with thoughtful suggestions aligned with Vastu, helping us make better choices that enhanced the energy and layout of our space. We highly recommend them."

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.
