Marni in Toronto

The flagstone stairs leading up to my house were in disrepair, with the mortar between the stones crumbling. I contacted one stone specialist who refused to fix them and said my only option was to replace the whole staircase, including the adjoining stone path at the top (which was in perfect condition) with a new, more modern stone staircase. He estimated $5,000 to $6,000 for the job, which I didn't want to spend for many reasons, including the fact that I like the flagstone, and think it might even be original to the house. Enter Phong and Brick Aid Masonry. Phong said he could fix them no problem, came by as soon as it was warm and dry enough to do so and had them done in a day. He came back a week later to collect his cheque and noticed that the mortar had dried a lighter colour than the old mortar so came back to darken the tint later that week. He also guaranteed the work for three years, so I don't have to worry about it again for a while. Thanks Phong.
