great experience
Never having to deal with tuck pointing, I was definitely going to get a few estimates. The price was comparable with the the others i received. Knowing NS has good rating really helped with my decision along with the attentiveness from the estimator who took photos of the house, and sent an estimate very promptly. Everything was explained well. The men showed up bright and early and finished it all that day. They really worked hard, fixed some things they noticed were not right and were super clean and neat. my house is 90 years old with unique brick and mortar . You can't even tell where they mortared because the color is so spot on. SUPER HAPPY.

Spalling bricks are a sign of water infiltration into a wall. Make sure to check the caulking seams on your chimneys every 3-5 years to ensure they don’t open allowing water to enter and cause damage to the bricks below.

Roofing contractors love our masonry work. We stop the leaks that commercial building owners blame on them.
