Front porch brickwork

A number of weeks ago, I noticed some loose bricks on my front porch. I decided to come to Homestars to find a contractor, as it's yielded good results in the past. This time was no different. Shane stood out from the other contractors I contacted, and I am glad I chose to do business with him.

The original scope of work involved relaying 3 courses of brick below the front edge of my porch, as the mortar had deteriorated. This involved having to dismantle my staircase (in order to access the brickwork behind). The original estimate called for reusing the old bricks (as they seemed to be in good condition), but during the work, he discovered some bricks had completely deteriorated. He was very up front and honest when it came to having to renegotiate to account for this, and the extra cost was, in my opinion, beyond fair (given the circumstances and results).

The results are great - the new bricks and mortar blend in perfectly with the existing bricks, and the whole area itself looks amazing. I am very impressed with Shane's quality of work, and would not hesitate to contact him again if the need arises.

Approximate cost of services:
$2,100.00
