Gledhill Masonry

We had tried for 2-3 years to find a mason to overlay stones on our front porch. The job is small but we still wanted high quality. Jason, the owner, is a Red Seal Mason. Having friends in the construction industry, I know this means that he is 'educated' and certified in that field. We didn't want to cut the railings off as they were still in excellent shape. The crew worked around the posts and did a nice clean job. They had to remove some pavers which butt up to the stairs leading to the porch and they replaced them using some aggregate to ensure they'd be level. Jason used a heavy 2" thick stone as a coping (and border on the pad) and for the stair treads and a 1" stone on the risers and the pad. Jason has confidence and skill aplenty and we knew there would be no situation or request that he wouldn't be able to cope with. Chris and Spencer (the crew) are nice young men. They're polite, well-mannered and skilled. They respected the fact that this is our home and not just a job site; they cleaned up every day and at the end they did a real thorough cleanup ensuring there was no residue of mortar on our driveway pavers etc. I liked that Jason and Chris and Spencer are fluent in English; it's their first language. They are not hyper sensitive to queries about why things need to be done a certain way or that we wanted something done in a way that pleased us. Some tradesmen get offended at suggestions by homeowners. We have seen some terrible work done (and the messes) by some other 'masons' on neighbours' homes and I'm so thankful we hired Jason and Chris and Spencer. The porch looks fantastic. Thanks guys.
