I had emailed Mace Masonry some pictures of the repair required on my garage and received a quote a few days later. I was a bit sceptical because another company had attempted these repairs just a couple of years ago, and now the problem was worse than ever. Carl however convinced me that by swapping out a few damaged blocks at the front with ones that don't show at the back, he could restore the structural integrity and maintain the aesthetic look of this circa 1920 garage. He and his apprentice arrived on time, worked rapidly and efficiently, cleaned up all debris, and on budget. After I wrote out my payment cheque, I asked Carl's advise on 4-5 damaged clay bricks on the side of my house. "I have some leftover mortar, why don't I just do that for you now". 40 Minuts later that job was done too at no extra cost! This guy is a real gem, I highly recommend him.
