Get matched with top brick or stone tuck pointing pros in Morgantown, PA

"I had gotten a previous estimate that started out at $3500 and that only covered two sides of the house and no cement work. This person also told me I needed to have 50-60 bricks replaced, plus, they would need to erect scaffolding. When I bulked at the price, he then said he could probably get away with 10 to 20 bricks and reduced the price to $3100. I still was not happy, so he asked me if I was a senior, which I was, and he wanted to know if I had any one in the military. I told him my son was a full-bird colonel so he reduced the price to around $2800 but told me if I signed that day, he would do it for $2500. I ended up signing. This was on a Friday afternoon, but it definitely bothered me very much that I didn't get another estimate, so at 9 o'clock on Monday morning I exercise my right to rescind the sale within three business days. That is when I saw Randy's name and his reviews on Angie's list and decided to call him. He came out two days later and gave me an estimate. I did not mention how much the other company had told me it would cost, but I did tell him that they said I needed bricks replaced and scaffolding. Randy looked over the entire house including the back of the house which the first guy didn't do. He said I had quite a few places with missing mortar on the back and showed me where they were. I then asked him if he would be able to repair the broken cement on the steps. He told he could do that. The front steps were particularly bad. He also said he did not see anywhere where bricks needed to be replaced and no need for scaffolding. The highest spot was about five and half feet off the ground. Imagine my surprise when his quote was $1400 for everything. I could not believe it. After I got that estimate, it rained for two weeks straight. The first day there was no rain, Randy and his helper, James, were on the job. I think they did a tremendous job! The cement repairs look absolutely great and the mortar matches up so well that you can not tell where the repairs are, unless you look very closely. But it doesn't stand out at all. As far Randy's character, I found him to be a deeply religious man, who I don't think would cheat anybody out of a dime. I am so glad that I got another estimate and that I called Randy Inch."

"We would highly recommend J&E Masonry. They repointed the brick and stone for our 150 yr. old home, it turned out beautifullly. Edgar is professional and meticulous, he takes pride in his work and truly cares about his customers."

"Good company to work with."

"Saw's roofing And construction were always on time ,the steps they built are so beautiful and the brick pointing job makes my home looks like it's a and new home, I'm so Thankful and very pleased."

"Ron is awesome. The stone fireplace that he built is just beautiful! Hire this guy!"

"Hired them to inspect and a brick house and suggest repairs. Decided to stucco coat one wall and tuck point various needed spots on the house. Brian, Jake, and Kyle spent nearly two weeks doing the job. They were professional knowledgeable and kept customer service at the forefront of the process. The price was very reasonable and the quality of service was good. Would recommend"

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"Ken repaired/replaced our mortar after having a new bow window installed in our stone home. His workmanship is second to none AND he came in under estimate!"

"Since information about defective areas had to be related to my wife for her to relate to me, I think it would have been helpful to provide drawing/diagram of specifically where or what the defect area were so that I could better decide how I might want to service those areas, and whether or not I can do it myself, have this company do it. The diagram/drawing locating cracks in what specific part of crown and firebox would have been a real plus."

"My initial contact was with Mark in late August or early September. We had arranged to meet and discuss the work that I wanted performed (pointing up the mortar on the brick chimney and under the windows on the front of the house). There were scheduling problems (for both parties) after one or two attempts and I was later contacted by Josh, who finally came out to my house in mid September to look at the job. I was impressed with Josh's knowledge, enthusiasm, and answers to my questions.
After discussing the scope of work to be performed, Josh assured me that someone would get back to me within a week with an estimate so we could schedule the job over the winter months. After a week went by, I called to see of they were working on an estimate and was assured that they "hadn't forgotten about me". After another 2 or 3 weeks, I called both Mark and Josh and left a message to see what was up as far as the estimate and scheduling.
It is now the second week in December and still I've heard nothing. I like these guys and I would like to have them perform the work, but at this point, I don't know if they are too busy or just don't want to do the work because it is not a big job. If that is the case, it would help if they would just tell me so. I hate to look elsewhere, but communication is an issue here so I may have to give up on these guys. Too bad.
I rated them as a "C" overall, with a "D" for responsiveness (or lack thereof) offset by a "B" in punctuality and professionalism
 for the time when Josh did show up.
