"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!!!"

"Had a fence and steel frame gate installed July 2023. The gate is monstrously heavy, and they did try to support the weight with a spring loaded wheel at the end. Less than one year later, the gate is almost impossible to close. It sags under its own weight and must be lifted up to reach the latch. I have called and texted several time to get a quote to have the gate repaired. It took a week to get them to send someone to inspect it and give me a quote. They finally sent me a quote, but I have asked multiple times when they could schedule me, and to send a written quote to my email. It has been over a week and I get no response. Today I texted them to see if they would recommend another company to complete the repairs instead. Very bad customer service."

From design to installation to long-term support, we'll create an amazing outdoor living area for you and your family. We've been established in Tarrant County since 1946. We know what works in the often difficult North Texas climate. Call on us for Softscapes, Hardscapes, installations on new properties or to update existing properties. We do organic maintenance programs too. Our minimum installation project size is $4000. Project financing available.
"After the Feb 2021 freeze and multiple dead shrubs, I decided to go with xeriscape this time. Marshall Grain was the only company that responded to my calls and I am not disappointed. Nancy is knowledgeable, easy to work with, and on time. The staff that came to do the work? You could not ask for a better group of guys. Although we are still short a couple of plants everything is spaced out well so no large gaps. They improved the aesthetics by running downspouts underground to a pop-up drain. Certainly not the cheapest landscape company I am sure but, you get what you pay for and for me, it is well worth the money."

"I interviewed 6 masons or companies. Some offered warranty - some did not. Some had proof of insurance - some did not. Some required full payment upfront -some did not. Some wrote quote on a napkin - some did not. Some took Credit Card - some did not. BRI did everything you should expect - Warranty, Proof of Insurance, a real, electronic based quote, credit card, and their price was mid-point. As far as work: First, they came on time. Second, they were thorough, detailed, and cleaned-up (albeit they never made a mess). Lastly and most important: They did it right. It was a very stress-free home maintenance project. I Highly Recommend them. - DebK"

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.
