"Mr. Gregory Hellen and his partner (Independent contractor) did not complete our project which included the improper installation of below surface electrical and water supply conduits. My Helen failed to adhere to the commitments made via communications via e-mail, text messages and verbal correspondence. According to Mr. Helen site drawings are only a visual representation and nothing more and any verbal or communicated commitments are not fulfilled; he does not keep his word. Mr. Helen uses the legal process to walk away from your project and fails to provide materials which were contracted for and will lie in court and make false statements. Everything is a change order presented to the customer the day the work is to commence; everything is left to the; and his family members who is not provided the proper site plan. Mr. Helen will rush to get to the job site and then leave the job site leaving multiple items unfinished incorrectly install or missing. We had to go to court but his attorney would not allow us to present receipts and documentation of work that was either not completed or done improperly for which we had to paid a third party contractors to complete. Mr. Helenas testimony was inaccurate in court and contrary to the communications which were not permitted, he even lied in court stating that I called his firm about the project, when in fact I had contacted his partner . Mr. Helen Failed to get HOA approvals; failed to follow code standards, failed to use a scale on site plans and failed to address any issues raised and the "partner and subcontractor are left with an outdated dated drawing and plans and had to take pictures to get approval to complete work which was contracted for and not completed because he did not have the tools. They even failed to provide or install two (2) column caps, (1) mailbox cap, an electrical transformer and associated low voltage wiring. Three Little Birds is a typical white privileged firm they perform no physical work and assign all the work to Latin American â sub-contractors . Be careful Three Little Birds LLC has no workers compensation insurance for his sub-contracts nor do the sub-contractor follow proper OSHA safety requirements, so if a work site accident occurs on your property you will be held liable and your home owners policy will be responsible. He is an experienced con-artist who has his sub-contractors rush to get off the job site to use a contract clause called â substantial completion and never to return; cure notice was provided and Mr. Helen said they were done and presented to the court some itemized invoice and then arbitrarily zero out items that were included in the contract; implying they were not charged for therefore they were not completed. A $64,000 plus interest and legal fees stay away. Scam Artist."

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.
