External brick repair

A review for Reach Restoration, Inc.

Dec 13, 2009

We had a major renovation in 1998 that included a lot of external brickwork in the rear of the house. Many bricks had since begun to crumble. We called Jay Charendoff of HOUSE CALLS Renovation/Advisors to suggest how we ought to deal with the problem. Jay visited with us looked at all the problem locations, then studied our architectural drawings to determine the structure behind the bricks. He identified the cause of the problem (water seeping into the bricks that were uncapped). He provided a referral to Reach Restoration (Jim), and discussed the problem with the company on our behalf. Jim and his team were courteous, reliable and professional. The work was performed cleanly and on time. We would recommend them to others without hesitation.

Consultation re crumbling exterior brickwork

A review for House Calls Renovation Advisors

Dec 13, 2009

We had a major renovation in 1998 that included a lot of external brickwork in the rear of the house. Many bricks had since begun to crumble. We called Jay Charendoff to suggest how we ought to deal with the problem. Jay visited with us three times in the course of his assessment and recommendation and completion review. Initially, he looked at all the problem locations, then studied our architectural drawings to determine the structure behind the bricks. He identified the cause of the problem (water seeping into the bricks that were uncapped). He provided a referral to a masonry company, and discussed the problem with the company on our behalf. Then he oversaw that the work took place correctly and to our satisfaction. The representatives of the company he referred us to (Reach Restoration) were courteous, reliable and professional.

Driveway paving and stonework

1

A review for Metro Pavers

Sep 13, 2008

Matthew was a big talker with lots of promises but didn't deliver. We had his workmen come back, a month or two after the job was completed, asking for money. We had paid the company in full, but Matthew had never paid the workers, so they came to us asking for money. Four years after the work was done, our driveway has been sinking.

Company Response:

It would be of great benefit to know which job this was so that we could properly deal with the written concerns. ALL our trades are paid and if there was any sinking in the past “four years”, why have we not been notified? We have 15 year old driveways with no sinking whatsoever and have been certified by the largest interlock manufacture in Canada for over eight years. Please call us so we can have a look at this driveway and try to resolve this issue.
