"Aplin Masonry was very professional and worked with us and our budget. They understood our vision and delivered a beautiful stone fireplace. Highly recommend!"

"I have a tile roof that did not qualify for the offer."

"It was more than we could afford. It was going to be $4,400 just to tear it down and didn't include framing or drywall to put it back up. We liked him and he seemed to know his business. He was very quick in getting the estimate out to us. He was great on professionalism."

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

"We had several problems with our fireplace. It had started not drawing well despite the chimney having been cleaned a year before.  A lot of fire smell was entering the entire house even with an apparently clean burning fire.  Also the back wall of the fire box had a number of cracked bricks and an earlier patching job done by a former owner was crumbling.  There was similar deterioration on the firebox floor.































































































































Rich came on time for his estimate and immediately said the lower end of the flue might need to be recontoured because there was a flat spot that could cause the fire gasses to rebound downward.  He said the cracking in the back wall was probably due to moisture seeping down through an old chimney cap.  He told us at least some of the bad bricks should be replaced and any remaining cracks patched with the right kind of heat resistant cement.  He also recommended a new concrete chimney cap to keep moisture from penetrating into the porous chimney bricks.  He further suggested a vent to the outside at the back of the firebox to allow air to be drawn in to the base of the fire to assist in the drawing up of the gasses.































































































































But we were all puzzled by why the fireplace was suddenly not working as well as it had over the years. Rich asked if there had been changes in the house, like new windows or vents.  Yes!  We had moved our furnace into the attic and changed the cold air return from near the floor to the hall ceiling.  Apparently that caused an air flow in front of the fireplace that picked up the fire smell and drew it into the furnace, which propelled it throughout the house.  Problem identified!  Rich thought the air vent would solve this.































































































































Before Rich came to do the job, I tried the gas fire starter with no logs on the grate.  Surprise!  Flames rushed out of the cracks in the fireplace floor!  When Rich removed the brick around the line, he discovered a rotten pipe and no real connection between the gas line and the starter.  Another problem caused by the shoddy work done by (or for) the previous owner.































































































































Long story short, Rich arrived for the job exactly on time and spent the whole day with a helper doing all the work he had recommended.  It was noisy and dusty, but he put a tarp covering the fire box and also placed tarps on the floor.  We added coverings for the furniture.  In the afternoon we asked him to replace some more bricks so there would be less visible patching.  He managed to do this and was done before we had guests in the early evening.  We have since tried the fireplace and it works fine!































































































































We did have a little issue about the final bill, as the extent of his work had changed during the job and the effect was not clearly communicated.  We finally worked it out, but it pointed out to both of us the need to be clear about work changes.  We recommend Rich not only for his timeliness and good work, but his thorough diagnosis of, and solutions for, our fireplace problems.

"Noah and his team were professional and efficient. We have the concrete redundant our garage as well as some concrete poured in our backyard and side yard. We also had the garage insulated and new drywall put in with a fresh cut of paint. I especially appreciated their attention to keeping their area clean as we've had a lot of work previously done to the home and didn't want dirt or concrete on other areas of our home. Noah's also a very friendly guy and easy to talk to. Any issues that we had were addressed quickly and appropriately. We're definitely planning on reaching out to him for future projects. Thank you!!"

I had 5 different contractors come out and give me a quote for the fire pit patio I wanted done. These are the reasons I chose exodus over all of them.

1) Price. I asked for several different quotes because I must admit I came into this project having zero idea of what the cost would be. I had some low quotes that made me question the quality I would get, and I had some high quotes that made me question if the company mistook my address for one in Beverly Hills. Exodus quoted me a price I felt was reasonable and most of all, affordable.

2) Customer Service. Al, the OWNER of the company, was the representative who came to my house, took measurements, and spoke to me about what I wanted from the project. He had a readily available portfolio to show his companies capabilities as well as bounce ideas off each other to find exactly what we were looking for. Our consultation with Al did not feel rushed, he answered all of our questions, and really made us feel at ease with our decision to go with Exodus. He was even able to get us a lower price on pavers (instead of concrete slab that we were initially interested in) and he passed the savings on to us. We signed a contract to do the work the same day we met him!

3) Communication. Al provided me with his personal cell phone should I Have any questions or need to touch bases. His office representative, Desire, was very friendly and easy to speak with.

In the end I am so happy to have made the choice to go with Exodus. Their construction workers were very respectful, punctual, and did quality work in such a short time. The whole experience was second to none, I've already referred Exodus to a friend and my own family is going to contact them in the future for any construction needs."

"When we moved into our new home, the one area that needed improvement was the tub and shower. Both were original fiberglass that had seen better days, and both had old glass doors that were deteriorating around the edges. Steve came out and gave us an estimate, explaining exactly what he would do. He also gave us local contacts to buy the tile, and fixtures. Workers showed up on time, laid out dropcloths on the floor and cleaned up after themselves everyday. Work went right on schedule with the timeframe Steve said. Finished product went beyond are expectations."
