Get matched with top brick or stone siding: repairers or partially replacers in Garden City, MI

"Great company and great people. I would use them again in a heartbeat. My experience started with a call to Gregg, one of the owners. He said he was just leaving my neighborhood but would be back in a week or two and would take a look at my project. In just over a week he did just that. When he was out he took a look around the whole house and found a few other spots that needed some brick work. On the day of the job Larry, one of the other owners, did a great job rebuilding the chimney. Gregg and the other guys did a perfect job rebuilding the brick foundation under the front porch and doing a couple other small brick repairs on the house. They went above and beyond. The front porch cement slab was not centered over the foundation and Gregg extended the brick on one side so the porch overhang was even. They came back on the second day to wash the brick and gave me a temporary step since the final paver work won’t be done for a month or so. They thoroughly cleaned up afterwards. Beautiful job. Reliable. Fair price. I’d highly recommend Pisani Contracting."

"Time for an update, I am happy to say I can now give this company better grades on everything.  The manager who never got anything done for us and mostly never called back has been replaced, and the guy they sent to rectify our issues, Eric, did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable and professional.   He was not involved in installing our stove, but I am glad they replaced those people with somebody who knows their stuff.  He gave us our stove knob (yes, we finally got one) but more importantly he immediately recognized the chimney cap issues the other guy who didn't know what he was doing did, and he ordered the parts and came back 2 weeks later and fixed it, so as of last week we are very happy customers.  We also needed a chimney cleaning and Eric did a great job on that too.   Now that they have changed the management and hired people who really know their stuff, we can highly recommend them.   

Honestly, I am completely and totally exasperated with this company.   If you want a really professional job, hire true professionals or do it yourself.  If you want a cheaper, adequate job with tons of  frustration and loose ends, use this company.   The top of 2 bricks on my hearth have digs in it from when they put the stove in, they gave us some bricks, but if we want it repaired we have to do the work or hire somebody. My insert is missing it's knob (they NEVER gave us) and we have tried to get for ALMOST 9 MONTHS now, and they are giving us some lame excuse they can't get the part, it is completely and totally ridiculous.  From the start, they were bad, our salesman didn't show up and didn't call for our first appointment and then gave some excuse after we had to call the main office and complain.  It only got worse from there, I have been complaining to my husband the entire time, and he keeps trying to deal with them, but even he had enough (finally) when he wanted them to fix up the crappy job they did on chimney cap, and they give us an $8,000.00 estimate to completely re-build our chimney.  A.  Our chimney does not need to be completely re-built, and that was NOT what we asked for in any way, shape or form and B.  If I ever did decide to have my chimney re-built, there is no way on earth I would ever hire this unprofessional company again.   I am not too thrilled with Osburn either, the missing knob and the fact that the flashing around the stove is terrible and cheap looking.  We have purchased some tiles we are going to install ourselves, or hire a true professional, but we have had enough of these clowns.  If you like playing phone tag all the time, getting excuse after excuse after excuse, unprofessional results and taking lots of aspirin, then by all means ignore this review, otherwise, buyer beware."

"They replaced several rows of broken bricks at the foundation of the house - without jeopardizing the integrity of the wall as well as replacing some bricks by the front door and installing a limestone plate by the door sill. Work was done professionally by Evan's crew within the estimated time and everyone there was very courteous."

"Existing brick porch was breaking apart at mortar joints and brick was breaking and falling away along entire perimeter. I contacted 4 contractors - only 2 replied. D & S came out the same day and provided a quote on the spot. Their price was lower and I had a better feeling about them then the other contractor. They started the job 2 days later and did a tremendous job! We could not be happier. The general foreman Greg was exceptional and really cared about doing an A1 job. I was worried that my bushes would have to be cut back as they encroached around the porch - Greg and his guys worked with me to get them tied back - no trimming was required! I HIGHLY recommend these guys!!!"

"He responded quickly, was on time, very professional, removed anything that was stuck, caulked any cracks.  
We've used Lee to clean, service, and repair chimneys at several houses and he always does a great job!

"Taylor and his crew did a great job. The crew was professional, punctual, and respectful from start to finish. They did a great job matching the brick and handled a difficult repair with ease. I highly recommend Arbor Brickworks LLC.

"Imagine you are in the middle of painting your house and the painter refuses to repair the chimney because it was so bad. I fortunately contacted Specialty. I was given 3 weeks to review by other companies but Nosh not only came that evening, he left to look to match 50+year old bricks AND he was by my house at 7:30 the following morning AND tore down and replaced my entire chimney in less than 48 hours and did a skillful masterful job, (we are not related, I am just super happy to have contracted Specialty"

"Pat (owner) is extremely personable and will answer any questions you may have. I had a question after the work was done and he answered very quickly. Mike and his apprentice were right on time and did a great job. I had to have my chimney rebuilt from the rootline up. I also chose to have a liner installed and all my vent pipes in the basement from the water heater and furnace were brought up to code. The bricks matched perfectly. Everything was hauled away and cleaned up to the point it was hard to tell anyone was there."

"A-1 Roofing & Siding did a fine job on my roof. There was concern that the plywood base was spongy but it turned out that it only needed a new sheet or two. While up there, they noticed that the chimney needed some minor repair that they were able to take care of. There was a crew below to clean up as the roofers dropped the old shingles, etc. A new ice/water barrier was installed and new flashing around the chimney. 50 year shingle warranty and 10 year labor warranty was included. There was concern that the dumpster would damage my new concrete driveway (3 mos. old), but there was no damage from that. All in all, the job only took about 2 days to finish. I would definitely hire them again for this kind of job."

Bill was on time and did a perfect job with a challenging task (our fireplace exterior, being stone, is extremely uneven). He did extra work to seal the doors to the stone and it looks gorgeous! I told him the week since he fixed our damper had greatly eliminated the cold blasts that had been entering the house, and this should completely solve the problem. The work Bill did was far better than anything we could have done and it looks terrific. It adds to the value of our home and increases our comfort.

I learned that Dr. Sweep also does masonry work (such as tuck pointing and cement repairs) and I will definitely hire them again.
